high …
atop the promontory
spinning with manic madness
pirouettes et fouetté
lost in yourself -
in movement …
your upper back split, low
and, I swear -

Angry at the world surrounding me, 
Angry at the person I can clearly see,

……Even then you were beautiful.
I watched you grow
An angel you were,
Love of people and adventure was your fortitude.

Sideways on the frozen glassy lake, slipping 
Pigeon like, gingerly, through fractured light
Images of a swollen moon swallows up the night

 where drowns dark truths dwelling empty despair,
 finds five fraught faces from false idol lies
 clinging cold-coffins caused by cruel affair;
Saddled by sorrow seen in mother’s stare,
 washed while...

It’s awake
I hear it shake
From the inside out
I hear it shout
It’s losing self-esteem
And now I hear it scream

The worse I feel.
Because the heart is a fool
it never learns
And it never gets any better
The commitment made
Without any follow through

“My Corner”
Like thistles to a thorn, or flowers to a garden, life can hurt or heal your pain
Nothing is sacred in life as we gather our stones to build our walls
Those with access to the...
