INDIVIDUATION

...The in-between heat of August is there
And here
For those of you who dare
To embrace the early signs of magic

Katydids clacking at dusk
To the moon’s silver fingers
Parting the leaves

Sleepless moonlit nights

...Early to bed, early to rise,
makes you healthy, wealthy and wise.
Followed the age old saying,
Can't figure out why I am still awake on this moonlit night.

Under a moonlit starry sky spreading ...

Taking A Break From Reality

...Don't feel offended
if I come across as flat,
It'll be cause I'll rather
dream than be alive,
I love the fan on full force
as under my sheets,
I have to double wrap
for any comfort,
& its eas...

The Power of God

...When it's armies you are facing
And your back's to the sea
And it looks like no way out
To God first make your plea
Then walk into the waters
To see what He will do
He will part to torrent wate...

No Respite

...No Respite

No respite for one who comes as broken as I am 
Quietly contrite I passively question the morality of man 
Without delight I mention that it’s possible to take a stand
It’s close to ...

Human Treasure

...I will forever treasure the two of them.
One was a homeless man I met when
I was in the process of moving.
He said his name was Sky. My
Heart feels warmth each time
I think of him. You might say...

A Horrific Scenario

...A silent forest, where trees are red
The sky is green, where the animals are dead
I come across a flowing river
The sight enough to make me shiver
A sight of a women so frail and thin
The child ...

a quiet walk

...a quiet walk 

In the graveyard, I walked 
I didn't take the dog in case she smelt bones
noticed even in death 
there are three classes 
I was drawn to the famous lies because
their place is m...

CRACK'S CODE BLUE

...Crack kills and that’s no joke!
It once killed my pocket broke
As my luggage wheel struck the sidewalk crack
And my worn-out heel cracked outback!
I wibbled-wobbled on a cracked low-pump heel

The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe God

...

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, 
the evidence of things not seen. 
I feel the wind gusting across my skin, lifting my hair. Unseen but I can feel the evidence of the wind
 and ...

Browsing

...browsing through emails,
and searching for an address,
just by accident
I come across an old friend's
poignant obituary...

Please, Piano Boy

...Please, piano boy, get out of my head
It's not that I don't want you there; it's just not worth the bloodshed
Because you deserve it all, and all I am is not enough
So I'm bleeding, trying to forg...

circles of tears

...circles of tears

she sat in her closet wrapped up like a ball
wading through old letters containing darkened secrets
reading wrinkled notes and looking through faded photographs
that wer...

Beyond Bereft

...If you go to my neighborhood thrift shop,
You just might come across
Five ice cream sundae dishes
And two mugs; if not, your loss.

See, I’m very slowly sweeping
Things that I don’t use away,
