Ode to love a grandmotherAs years go by the more I think
About how one minute I was 5 and now I'm 28,
You watched me grow always been by my side,
Now to think your still here making sure we get by,
Working, and working hard for our family to thrive,
To think you are our rock,
Your like our glue that sticks us...

Why I WriteWhy I Write
He asks why I write
And I say I must
Because the words, you see
Flow as easy as blood in my veins
The pen as natural as the air I breathe
Without it, I explain
The maze of my mind couldn't handle it
He asks how I write
And I say that my method cannot be taught
For my...

The Prismatic Self
"A silenced tongue weighs heavy against the soul," quote by poet.
I sit amongst a single light,
light illuminating a hand-built oaken desk,
desk with pictures of the past lay out randomly around me,
whilst I hear the whoosh of her oxygen machine droning on—
breathing life into her failing lungs.
Drowning in overwhelming emotions,
I seek an outlet to...

Echoes Of UsCan you hear my heart, so weak,
A voice of love it cannot speak?
It beats for you, though time has passed,
A fleeting dream I thought would last.
I’ve tried to mend, to love once more,
But echoes linger at my core.
Two souls that danced now stand apart,
Divided worlds, yet linked in heart.
The moon still shines, the stars still...

Fragments Of MeI catch myself staring— At nothing, really— Just blank walls And the rigid ceiling.
Wondering what I am doing here.
When did it come to this?
How did I lose myself?
Listening to the wind whistle.
It’s as angry and confused as I am,
Not knowing which way to go.
I hear sadness in the trees,
The screams...

What is Truth?What is truth, Where does it reside?
Is it mere appearance or bride dyed-white?
Was Gandhi the truth or the Dreams of Freud?
Or did you find it when the infant cried?
In Slaying Slogans of Soldiers' Pride
Or in the mistakes which a child hide?
For me, truth is like a naked bride
You veil it as a corpse in graveside
Tis'...

A wicked Twist Hansel And Gretel The cupboards were bare.
The stepmother said,
“There’s not enough.
Leave them instead.”
Into the woods
with crusts of bread,
they were left to starve
or end up dead.
The world was cruel,
the fire cold.
But children learn
to grow up bold.
The witch was hunger
in disguise.
They saw the truth
behind her eyes.
They lit the fire.
They found a way.
Two kids came back—
but not the same....

The Smash of GodI have been here before
awake in this dream
of fitheavy
amorphic darkness
full of war
parting stars
into silent tremor
dust
sea…
to feel the smash of god
beneath the waves
the heave of lung
cold and gray
heavy as the day
caught in teeth
of a sky
broken-jawed
and
soft as fire

Our Final GoodbyeWhen my travels are over
And I finished my last mile
Don't remember my frown
Just remember my smile
Forget harsh words I uttered
Remember the good I've done
Forget any heartache I caused
Just remember all our fun
Forget all my short comings
When I fell by the wayside
Not every battle can be won
But remember I truly...

What the Silence CarriedI have loved like windows love the morning-
quietly, without asking to be noticed,
just hoping someone would open them.
There were nights
when the moon knew more about me
than anyone ever would-
how I curled inward,
folding grief into origami birds,
sending them across invisible winds
toward the edge of forgetting.
I have lost things I never held-
names, chances, whole lives
that might've been...

Passenger seatFor a long time some time ago I believed I knew everything and there was nothing left to know. It was a role that I knew how to play. It was a character who kept me alive every day. When it was time to give someone the wheel, I felt a weight lifted from my...

UngluedEvery now and then
I wonder about you
If you're still feeling blue
And maybe need a friend?
I can't seem to send
A 'hi' or 'how are you'
Unsure how to continue
From our bitter end.
I can't just pretend
There isn't a grey hue
Lurking between us two
That time does deepen.
I know I messed up then
But can't I start anew?
After all we've been...

CRISIS DILIEMAIf roses were a book
Would they still be read
And if violets are blue
Does that mean they're in depression
sadden and blue
I have no answers
for I'm not in a dictionary or
An encyclopedia nor computer with gigabytes
All the rainbows every colors
All the antidepressants doesn't bring me joy
Because all in...
