Maybe One DayMaybe one day, my pain will go away
Maybe one day, I’ll feel the healing someday
Maybe One Day
Maybe one day, the bad memories will flee
Maybe one day, my thoughts will be stress free
Maybe One Day
Maybe one day, my heart will not hurt anymore
Maybe one day, it will be filled up with...

Morning starShe said I can't trust you.
You are to cleaver for me.
so why do I stay?
it sounds foreign
to be close to you my dear.
My morning star right there.
Can you help?
Can you heal?
instead, you are poison for me.
Now you have my soul, but you can't own me.
so please move, step back, don't move.
don't f$%ken touch...

The Way the Body RemembersCliché: “Time heals all wounds.”
(Irritation: It implies passivity, ignoring the ache, the effort, the mess of healing.)
Better Version:
Healing is not the passing of time—
it is the choosing to keep walking with the limp.
Poem
They say time heals all wounds,
but time does nothing
without your hands in the dirt.
It just sits there,
ticks forward,
waits for you to move.
Healing is...

GREYGREY.
"Life is not black or white; it is the agony of grey."
“I can’t do this”, she said. With an unveiling frown,
“I can’t deal with all this” but the treasons were filled with all her absurd,
The voice that used to occupy my crown,
Now echoes with these ‘final words’,
Those silent whispers are now haunted by the...

unintended innuendoSeason of violet grief
A day of navy oaths
The weather a dim pink hush—
ghosts of past, my muse.
I accidentally wrote a letter
scrawled on pale paper—
Guess, my June, what spills forth
when your blade slips through—
—not me, the envelope.
Perhaps a carol, yes—
or an oration (how proud I was!)—
or—
no, not that—
—perhaps just a thin red thread,
words sealed in...

I made a promise to writeSometimes I wonder,
if I’m wasting my seconds
trying to prove love
lasts longer
when you drown it with gin.
Her ghost circles back—
again, again—
the Poppy wears
a saccharine, serrated grin—
(oh, how I’ve missed it)
nestled among
my worn-out keycaps.
I didn’t mean to write her—
I keep pressing delete—
But she never blinks.
I write, or she erases me.

VoidIn the silence, I hear my own voice
A whispered longing, a heart that makes some noise
I reach for connection, a gentle touch
But find instead a space that's too much
The weight of unspoken words, a heaviness I bear
A sense of longing that I've learned to share
With every step, I search for a place to stand
A sense...

BetrayalI feel the biting of the wind, stinging my ear
The soft silver blanket falling from the sky, crying on me
With you by my side, draped in silk
I lean over the edge
Admire the world's beauty
When I feel your blade kiss my throat
Stealing the glint of the city
Mouth parting slowly..with a stupid realization
Eyelids meeting, as...

Broken Glasses and Shattered HeartsHow long does it take to break broken glass until it’s broken beyond repair?
How long does it take for avoidant eyes to finally learn to stare?
Will it take long enough for glass to pierce my shattered, battered heart,
Or eyes that will never look that way from the very start?
Does it take a fool or a...

My Pen Is Weeping BloodMy pen is mourning the agonies and the sufferings
Of my people, who are drowning in the sea of misery.
My keyboard' strokes are shadowing the slow rhythms
Of the wandering beggar, who's lost in the sanctuary.
My voice denounces the filthy cholera and the injustices,
Which are punishing the weakest souls of the valley.
A tiny oligarchy is meagerly being...

To pay for our sins
And I waited
And waited
But they never came
So I thought
Why did the angels forgive me
And I can't...

A promise was made to break2024.05.18
One year ago, on a Saturday @ 20:10:00, I wrote
"Now, I just remember something to ask you.
If I lost my memory and/or
Was not able to read English any more,
Would you be kind enough to read my life story back to me?
Nay, maybe not, by then
You would have a lovely family
To enjoy and...

Hospital Stairs
These stairs have wept a million tears
walking from parking lot to hospital room
Hearts travel them, to meet their worst fears
Through shadows and shame, past years
Blessed by the memoires who consume
These stairs have wept a million tears
With the music of a soul ringing in my ears
There’s more love and grace than gloom
Hearts travel them, to meet...

Choose One -Cruelty Of Hate Consequence Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die—quote by Carrie Fisher
You must pick one or the other time has passed
Warning signs have stopped tipped the scales
caution is not priority in here fairy tales
Why come to this, and all for what? All or nothing, the game is on
