Known for miles around
As the Queen of Croissants
She’d perfected her art for years
But at what cost
More physically demanding than you might think
She gave the best years of her youth
Working at a small town bakery
The strain on her hands and body taking their toll
Owners had lucked out and they knew it
She loved her art and would have done it for free
Trying to produce the work of three
Never took a sick day in twenty-five years
Couldn’t have worked harder if the place had been her own
The owners were greedy, looking to save their own hide
Watched her toil while they leisurely went about their day
Went on vacations leaving her the keys
Knowing all too well the place would run smoothly
Heaven forbid she would get a thank you
Or - bite your lip – a bonus

March 4, 2018 Poem of the Day
You could've just drank whiskey like a smart man
Drown your sorrows in enough beer to drown a fish
Smoked enough cigarettes to burn your house down
Taken a walk
Pull up your mask and walk in for the day
Listen to the lost and damned wail once more
Bite your lip and try not to cry
Hide those hesitation marks from everyone you care about
A bloody impulse has left you worse off
In one short month, you lost everything
Burnt every bridge you spent years building
And now you're too scared to eat
Does it taste as bad as it looks?
A 15 minute nap pays for it, you know
People dream of it, fight for it, die for it
And no one who has it is happy with it
You really don't function like you used to
The pandemic broke you in ways you don't realize yet
It hurts to unlearn 30 years of praise, doesn't it?
Do you think the doctor was right?
But what good would it be knowing now?
It's getting a little late to shift paths meaningfully
And much harder now with those wounds of yours
You swam from the island a day before the boat saved us
Your half-measure hurt more than you realized, huh?
Commit or don't; you're stuck with it now
When told to sail or sink, you chose to tread
And now sharks are nibbling at your legs
You must hate that part of town by now
Twice now, it's nearly gotten you killed by your own hand
And twice you've chosen to live on
Unwhole, unclean, unwell, unhappy
Are you worried you won't be the same this time next year?
As your brain tried so often to hatch from its skull
You've lived this hell before, but with a light ahead to guide
It's been dark for too long by now
Ashen One, hearest thou my voice still?

If I call you beautiful…
Do flowers bloom within your worried eyes
surrounding you with color, with thoughts
Looking past the mirror to that place you have been,
that you long to be again
Do you bite your lip,
looking within, seeking past the darkness,
subconsciously smoothing the ruffles of your dress,
shuffling your feet a bit
Do memories flood your mind
of days before lipstick and eye shadow,
when cute was as common as wrinkled nose smiles,
playing inside or out were your choices
Do you roll your eyes and sigh,
describing a portrait that only you can see,
a mirage of impressions you have collected,
stored away in that file you reach for regularly
Do you brand me blind or crazy at least,
point to that one tiny blemish you know of,
turn and walk away kicking dust as you go,
shutting the door in disbelief
Or do you see your reflection in my eyes
the woman that you are to me,
hear the affection in my voice, the truth
and wrinkle your nose once more and say, “I love you”
And here you had me thinking
That I was the scum of the earth
That you were the Queen of the Night
And that you had everything all figured out
And here you had me dreaming
Of turning back the clock night after night
Hating myself more and more
Wishing I was strong as you
And here you had me screaming
Pain in my chest as you clung to another
Images of you two sweating your rhythm
And with me loathing my own sexuality
And now I can only laugh
As I find out your truth
That you're still the haughty winter princess
That flew too close to the sun
That you still haven't gotten over a thing
That the thought of me happy still tears you apart
And so you came back to keep me under your heel
While I drank the rain that was your tears
You laughed at me for wanting comfort in another
And here you are, doing the same thing
You cling to the ideals you set for yourself
As the Queen of a kingdom of emptiness
And this is my greatest joy
Knowing that not only am I right
But I've always been right
And the only one in the world who thought differently was you
You were the only one who agreed to abuse me
You were the only one to grind my face in the dirt
You were the only one to parade your story as fact
And ensure that the victim looked like the aggressor
The sun hasn't stopped shining on my back
Not since I forgave myself for sins I never committed
For the sins you paraded as absolute
For the sins that weren't sins
You're no Goddess
You're no saint
You're no angel of radiant light
And this Falconia isn't your Millennial Kingdom
So fly away on steel wings
Quench your lust on the body of another
Bite your lip and pretend it's love
After all, lust is a sin to you, yeah?
You're no better than me
And you never were, were you?
You're stuck slumming it out with your world of prejudice
And I'm elated now
I'm elated now
I'm elated now
I'm elated now
I'm elated now
Hush now, my sweet child,
tho the wind howls wet and wild,
the snows will fall again upon this barren land
while inside we make our firmest stand.
Warm by the fire blaze,
the story will again be raised,
the images thru the house will slip,
be not afraid as you bite your lip.
Silent and still, the candle flames flicker
and heartbeat races fast and quicker,
as the legendary story goes,
the ghost wore weathered sailor's clothes.
His face unclear and his voice barely a whisper,
they say he was a shabby lonely drifter
who made his way beyond the fielded trees
home from the ships and salty sea.
A sailor of a time long, long ago,
forgotten across the frozen snows,
to dry land returned where he was birthed
to find the fields lay built open and unearthed.
Home he came but nothing remains the same,
everything had changed, no one knew his name
new fields were filled by figures unfamiliar
and he himself felt and seemed quite peculiar.
Wandering thru the streets at night
he often whistled songs until the morning light
and should you hear his lonesome call
be not afraid, no, not at all.
The melody he plays is much like a riddle
riding merrily upon the tremulous whistle
calling out to those who are fearful and afraid-
you are prisoners only of your self betrayed.
Greet the change with openness
it can be curse or can be gift,
but for this sailor home from the sea
the waves rise up and down flowing in and out like destiny.
Hush now, my child and dream of majestic ships
and sailors sailing on amazing trips
returning home in time to find
the child he left behind.

At old age you chose to risk again
The pain of begetting a child in your sixties
You chose to give love to another soul in the world
Papa doesn’t know what is going on
But there is something going on
You just don’t know how to say it
It has happened and you cant deny it
Another child is coming
Like Sarah you don’t understand this
How possible can it be?
Yet you believe
With God all things are possible
You feel it and you can now see all the signs
You are expecting
The pain knocks
You bite your lip
With your hands
Hold your tummy
With a twist
And strength
It has been long since you last went through this
There is nothing like experience
Pain is pain
Each pain is dynamic
It’s the same pain but different
Papa knows now
You are about to deliver
He puts down his cup of tea
Forgets his hat
Because of the noise
He knows that sound
As each inch of your muscle tightens
Your scream is heard in the city
Its like you are pulling your lip
over your head
sweating and panting
You realize it now done
A smile of victory shines on your face
News spread
A poet
Has given birth to a poetry tot
And its
A baby boy
Born to the Carter

People can be lovely and delightful
nasty and pretty damn right spiteful ...
Remember to catch your tongue because not everyone understands where your coming from
You see , I know you, my beautiful daughter
You have a wonderful moral conpass too
You light up a delightful face even though they may seem the few
Please stop biting at those that treat you bad , its their disgrace and not worth your job , try to be happy try to be glad
Next time it happens and it will , its the nature of the public to be rude , their ill
Walk away my love
Walk away, bite your lip , dont say a word
Its not worth it
Verse 1:
Pretty brown eyes, you know I see you,
Across the crowded room, a silent cue,
A flicker of something, a hidden desire,
Burning slow, fueled by the fire.
Got the vibe on smash, no need for a lie,
Spitting rhymes like a king, baby, I’m fly,
While the world spins ‘round, we move in slow-mo,
Feel the beat drop hard like it’s Tony in a dojo.
Heartbeat racing like a train on a track,
You bite your lip, girl, and I'm never looking back,
Lighting up the night like it’s 4th of July,
Hands up high, let’s reach for the sky.
Drink in my hand, toast to the life,
Roll with my crew, you could be my wife,
Swag on E, but the love’s on full,
You’re the queen of the night, let’s break every rule.
Chorus:
We gon’ party till dawn, let the music play,
In this club full of dreams, yeah, we drift away,
Pretty brown eyes, get lost in the thrill,
Feel that bass pounding, got the world standing still.
Verse 2:
Streets alive, neon lights illuminating,
Rhymes so heavy, you can feel ‘em vibrating,
Grinding on the floor, moving to the beat,
Sweat dripping down, yeah, we turning up the heat.
Got my peeps around, loyalty’s thicker than blood,
In this concrete jungle, we rise from the mud,
Hustle hard, party harder, that’s the motto we claim,
Bright city lights, we ain't ever gonna tame.
Sip that Henny neat, chase it with the vibe,
Stacking the good times, we all here to ride,
With you by my side, it’s a whole different game,
In the chaos of the night, love is never the same.
So let the DJ run it back, spin the record right,
Got that energy, girl, we shining so bright,
Pretty brown eyes, lost in the moment,
In this dance of life, we never gonna own it.
Chorus:
We gon’ party till dawn, let the music play,
In this club full of dreams, yeah, we drift away,
Pretty brown eyes, get lost in the thrill,
Feel that bass pounding, got the world standing still.
As I Lie here dreaming the night away
Waiting for the dawn, ready to fight another day
The universal soldier that I have become
So far from home, from Dad and Mum
My Wife, my Children to them a stranger I have become
Not the man I once was to anyone
War changes men in so many ways
As we try to live through the coming days
Never knowing if each day will be our last
The Bombs, the Bullets come thick and fast
My comrades in arms each and everyone
To me a Brother, my one true friend they have become
On each other we completely rely
We have no one else when the enemy’s rounds begin to fly
A comrades hit, lay dying there
No time to be afraid, just show you care
Help where possible; risk your life to save his
As around you smoke and bullets whizz
For he would do the same for you
Because that in the end is what soldiers do?
Each death is greeted like a brother lost
Every day we have to count the cost
Sometimes you wonder will it be me today
But not long in the mind does that thought stay
You just bite your lip, put on your pack
Like a lifetime on your back
Contains all you need to see it through
Above all the courage inside of you
We fight, we party all as one
Because that is what we have become
A true fighting unit all for one and one for all
Together we stand, together we fall
Sadly some may not make it through
Take a lonely flight home, just thank God it’s not you
So when you awake tomorrow it’s the fallen comrades you are fighting for
I am a Universal Soldier for ever more
But as I dream of the ones I love
My fallen comrades in heaven above
I know I will do my duty, be what I am
A Soldier, a one true fearless man
I will give my life for my county if it’s my destiny
Be buried with the flag knowing I have made a better life for those who truly love me
