OOH WOMAN, OOH WOMAN:

VERSE 1:
Woman, I'm really enamored to you,
And I've fallen for you more and more,

presently, the patch of an eye, one seeing,
the other believing; and the bite of a bunny
above a lip - such a dangerous deliverance.

presently, the Winter witch, pricks fingers,
which crack and throb, like patches of ice.

I created you
the angelic, and the impish 
with my proud and selfless
love for you.
I enthusiastically ate for two
the sweet, the sour,
the salty, ravenous cravings.
I carried you
inside me, everywhere;
goodbye figure and posture
hello nausea and inexplicable dreams.
Laboring...

Hope and Faith

With my body suffering from acute pains
After a fall on a slippery floor,
With the back hitting against the footsteps
And several ribs fractured at the core
Sleep becomes utterly vain,
Conflicting thoughts and clashing concepts
Invariably invade...

I was never one for it 
You lent me one of your books 
It still remains in my possession 

You were my favourite book, you opened up to me so easily...

It was ignored and should've been honored for years
but often overlooked because of heartaches and tears.
In a veiled interval overlapping months without end
is the fifth season, offering us hope that transcends.

Sometimes, we have to be brave to say hello, 
To a neighbor or a stranger who won't respond.
At times, we have to wave at the ducks in the pond, 
Without being sprayed with spittle or...

Stalking him,
Always now,
In the daylight, or down city street, no matter.
Sleek- a panther, its coat cast obsidian under a moon in anarchy.

Behind him, or in front,
Clutching deeply until each appendage of self falls victim;
The brain,...

~Two chairs staring at each other…empty.
Meters away, dark fog gathers to choke their
fired gazes piercing the needles of discord
strewn on the caving floor   both mute, raging…
both divided by scrolls of dead sea syllables...

Sporting my victimization
After carefully shopping around
I select a tasty flavor
And I wear it with a frown

The hollowness assuages
Quantum power drains from me
I love being a victim
And wallowing in my misery

I get to avoid thinking
As I...

 just as Pinocchio wasn't a real boy
but for our hearts and faith
 we live life in full awareness coy
a revelation of ourselves in bold deploy;

Be the star that brightens someone’s dark sky,
Be the light that illuminates a gloomy night,
Be the flame of compassion to life gone awry,
Even if you don’t think your candle is bright.

BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING 

Sleep comes as a welcome guest
Who assuages in some measure
The prolonged stage of pain
Within the straits of breathless grief.

The one at final rest starts a journey 
Beyond the narrow confines 
Within the...

No nap, no nap, no nap, she shouts
With all that she can muster;
At not-yet-2, though she insists,
She's much too young to trust 'er.

I put it off and read some books;
She helps and turns the pages.

Little time it takes 
So little effort
And blessings come
To mind with glad recall.
Daily cares obscure
A few tried moments
But happy thoughts
Obliterate them all.
Thoughts of home
And precious hearts
In concert
Days of spring
And woods alive with song
Faith's cleansed eyes
That...
