drifting in shadows
my shape bends but won't stay there
not certain not sure
each choice cuts a new pathway
as tension reshapes my face
Portraits drawn in haste
show lines that crack in the light
mirrors deceive me
a single doubt can splinter
the vision of what I am
I hunger for self
woven stronger than the past
stitched from fierce longing
yet daylight breaks the seams loose
the threads unravel in dust
I walk in between—
torn by the pull of old ways
and of what may come
the tension hums within me
a bridge across fear and change
In the scars I learn
each fracture is a teacher
I rise by failing
resilience is hammered out
confidence shaped in the flame
I bend, yet I stand
each break recasts me anew
the glass learns to shine
Through trials I claim my form
becoming what I must be

My eyes shed with tears when looking at your pictures
My heart breaks when I think of you
Memories are busy building a home in my mind
and pain long found its home in my heart
What happened? anyone care to tell?
Or am I the only one, under this spell
Heal me, does any of you also cry at night?
May I see whoever said 'love is blind'
buy them coffee and tell them it's all true
and how mine left me with fractures

You measure by mass—
diamond resolve turning quietly,
its shape carved from silence,
creating shards of tension.
Light bending—crystallizing
in my shell, waiting to
crack open in the name of
weightless worth.

Napping thru days with Vicodin nights,
slow healing is my plight..
Heating pad between the thighs,
too much pain other wise..
How much longer until I mend?
Will I ever walk again?
At times this pain is excruciating.
Now it's time for me to stop complaining.
Some say miseries are a divine blessing.
What's the lesson here God's stressing?
Why do accidents occur, slow us down,
fractures?
Do we need reminders of our mortality?
There are no accidents in spirituality..
This painful journey,
this opportunity God sends, was it to remind me
to surrender to him?

Time is just fractures in space
That loops
Around the bend of eternity,
Holding the world in a tight grip of
Structure, that takes away the natural
Order... So we stay in the grind of
Imaginary confinements,
Dragging chains, fueling the bondage
Of generations that have lost their way
Feeding the belly of the beast
Till it's all consuming...
So time steals souls and feeds the
Deception that keeps us
Blind and deaf to the present moment.

sassy smirk scrunched
spanking salient sucks
smog smithereen scorched
sorting saucy sauce
savvy strengths spent
savaging sumptuous sects
dark dribbles drooled
damping dainty doom
dense dug douche
moaning mist melted
meager mends masticated
merging mushy murky
felon fate features
feigning fabulous fractures.

As the clock ticks on,
the soul
encounters
tiny fractures of death
hairline cracks
seemingly invisible, superficial
yet they run deep
one
more
word
one
more
look
one
more
reason
to
S h a t t e R
and
nothing
matters
anymore
Nothing.

randomness
balisa
young heart
frog-in-throat
the thought of ... .
the snots phase again
wanting to scream
wanting that dam to break
but forcing it not too,
too much, that the belly of the dragon hurts
and the demons
become unhidden
unmasked
and no, they are not imaginary
just frozen all along
and with the heat of
emotions,
the forced melting of these glaciers
lead to the unraveling
the shifting, actually
of mindsets
and heartaches
this makes no sense
again,
I ramble
just lost
with the thought
of having lost you
all these years

In the stillness of the night
the black night
the night where stars flicker
with bright radiance
when the only is ourn hot breathes
clearly visible
in the cold
crispy night
The stillness fractures
with these words
"my love for you will never
splinter
like the winter
at Springs wake"

I’ve been trying not to think about a lot of the things that come my way
A cool summer breeze has taken my doubts for all that I can believe
Dwelling on times too cautiously has left me walking in a wanderlust
When the day begins it ends and I have no one to trust
I’ve been traveling and I’ve come so far
When all I needed was a friend you left me standing there
I’ve seen smiles and I’ve held some frowns
Seen an old man walking out on town
I’ve seen a harlot chasing the sound of love
Seen a man too tired to place himself found
In my mind I’ve been walking my worries toward a reluctant time
In my cloudy days I needed you there, all those lonely hours afterwards
Today I was out running and I saw you alone
Suddenly you disappeared when I went to ask you what was wrong
Am I losing my mind, an illusionist in a broken time
Against the shoreline chasing everything that wasn’t mine
Seen coffee spilled when no one was around
I’ve seen a good man yield his days
I seen a champion walk away from a fight
Seen a mother lost too weary to pray
"a potion for nights that outlast my days"
