Neither a fable, 
Nor a tale, 
This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.

About a threat, a monster from the East,
That struck the world like a beast,
Attacked Europe...

I am standing outside my bedroom, on the precipice of lost innocence.
Wide eyed, and barefoot on cold hardwood.
Someone is hammering on our front door.
My father, looking a bit annoyed, shuffles anxiously down the stairs.
Tussled hair,...

The children clustered 'round him drawn like bees to nectaries, 
for pleasant were his stories and they felt so much at ease. 
His mates though thought them nuisances and should be chased away;

I. 
they say 
there exist languages without words
without syllables yet pronounced,

a vase shattered to the floor last night
at an...

I'm sure she is my true love
  We're clearly meant for one another

  What on...

Out my window I see the dawn
Pinkish hue with orange neon
Majestic spectrum playing like a drum
I can hear the call where the light comes from

Tears of joy stream down my face
Fall to ground like drops...

Coming home from work, And receiving a call from mom,
I have some bad news she said, I'm sorry, but Darcy's gone.
Tears fill my eyes, and I don't know what to say,
I have to break the...

It has been a rough week.
Monday was dog-eared and dozing.
The world ended on Tuesday -
so not a great start.

Wednesday, not surprisingly,

Think I'm crazy -being over simplistic
or your beau is the exception to the rule:
..Do an experiment.
Take the honey...

My father is a Halibut 

we lived on a small island in the stream 
a ferry boat took us into town 
on one such a day on our way to Houston 
my father wordlessly jumped overboard
the ferry shipper stopped...

A woman, blinded by disease,
Wrote poetry and then,
Inspired to write a novel,
Picked up paper and a pen.

Elastic bands across the pages
Held the pen in place.
With more than twenty pages done,
Not once did she erase.

That sudden insecurity that comes hand in hand with your silence,
That ever familiar silence,
The silence of you thinking of the easiest way to let me down...
And break my heart...

Out of pure necessity, I have to cover my head.
You may have a heart...

A technicolor country I had found,
a panning for the gold of Hollywood:
In glitter dusted gown of pink chiffon
a fairy...

~ MY LOVE SHE'D LENT ~

I followed her where'er she went
Lured onward by her fragrant scent

She clasped his hand, a handsome gent
How could she know my love she'd lent

I died one thousand deaths inside
Choked back...

A PERSON WHO SEEMS SO SAD
MUST HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BAD
THE PERSON WHO CAUSED YOU THIS PAIN
SURELY MUST KNOW THEY'RE TO BLAME
I ONLY HOPE THAT YOU'LL SEE
UNHAPPY YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
LET GO OF THE...
