    Dissonance in me awakens
       Feelings faint and badly shaken

    by hearts - come clean - that are now achin'
       no thanks to my prevarications …

The Dragon Weeping in her Bones

The Dragon Weeping in Her Bones

They say happiness is a flame,
brief as a match struck in rain.
I held it once—
a home, two sons,
a husband who smiled like promise.

Until his arms curled elsewhere.
Until his mouth tasted betrayal.
Until I learned beauty
was something I could not hold
no matter how tightly I bled.

The dragon woke in me that night.

When the World Held Its Breath

When the world seem to hold its breath
Water starts to collect at the bottom lid of eye
Out of nowhere; lips trembled to speak in dark
Hands danced trying to express the inner words
In sight of no audience a spirit howled in me
Asking whether we deserved it or not
Manifesting no difference in past and present
Seeking a hand

No exit allows egress

No exit allows egress...

forever dooming how the missus and I relate
where interplay, foreplay and coldplay 
insinuated themselves within mine pate,
once I espied and entered trap door to late,
thus now ensnared and inextricably
caught into the web of deceit
courtesy my own making
detritus of sundered scattered corpses
a stark prelude of unpleasant fate
awaits yours truly,
whereat once harmonious convergence
between the

LOVING YOU IS AN ART

Loving You Is an Art ????

Loving you is an art,
Not just words, not just emotions,
Not just romance.

It is like carving a linocut,
Each stroke, each cut—
Careful, gentle,
So I do not wound the sketch,
The same way I hold your heart,
Responsible not to hurt you.

Loving you is an art,
Like stringing beads with patience.
And when the thread breaks,
And the

My Wife's Affair - poem 10

Empty Guinness bottles
reminders of what 
I am trying to forget.
Litter my family room table
like cockroaches 
that are not afraid of the light.

What we had

“WHAT WE HAD”
 
      Our path was foggy,
But somehow , we made it clear.
We built something new,
Something that filled our hearts.
        It touched every edge of us,
Left no part untouched.
We were in love,
Deeply.
        But as we

Haiti, When Will the Chains End?

You bled, Haiti—
not from your sins,
but from theirs.

1994 they came, not to heal,
but to haunt.
To wrap democracy in boots,
and silence in oil-drenched contracts.

America—
not a land,
but a machinery of ruin.
You did not restore—
you erased.
You did not rebuild—
you ravaged.

You took a sacred island
and tore it from within.
In the name of liberty,
you planted despair.
In the name of order,
you

Never meant to depart

For weeks, my hands searched your side of the bed,
Yet emptiness mocked the warmth I desired.
Our love now lives in a distant, closed past,
Where memories refuse to fade or dim.

That morning you spoke your final good-bye
Turned my whole world to a mourning ground.
I lost the knowing of what love feels like,
For your absence drove me

Lovers kinda Bley

Told me you loved me
told me you cared
if thereah- problem
You'd always be there

I could lean on you
Cause you really loved me
Said you were my lover
My Lover and Friend

In such this obligation
a emotional stress
seems you were testing me
And I passed your test

Asked me to yours 
All to yourself 
Just me and you
And no one else

I saw

Dweller of our heart

Juan Paco Pedro De La Mar
why were you mean to me
i was so ing hot
i lost my sexual power
to your perfect ginger dick
i am not going to be what you want me to be
i am not the lost tortured small woman who gives you power
the scent of my flower self has been washed out
but something

Premium MemberDesolation

My days seem lost forever 
And my nights last for eternity 
I’m abandoned in this world 
Where darkness has overcome me 

I’m living life in the shadows 
Where sunlight is forbidden to shine 
I’m here with the devil who doesn’t sleep 
All the while wrecking this life of mine 

By most I know I’ve been

More

More fool me
For hoping you would change,
You promised me the world
Yet everything’s the same.
I’ve told you that I’m broken
And I can barely cope,
You said you’d make more effort
Filling me with hope.
Actions speak louder 
Than your words can ever say,
I’ve already waited forever 
So I won’t wait another day.
I’m not sorry that we’re over
I’m sorry that

Underneath the Overpass

Underneath the overpass as I was passing by,?
Something in the shadows, a shape had caught my eye.?
I couldn’t tell just what it was—intrusive thoughts owned me,?
For once I didn’t understand the shape my mind did see.

I drove on down the interstate, the rain began to pour,?
Wipers rapping,
?Thunder clapping, ?
Storming at my door.?
Lightning struck around me—waking
