Long Breastbone Poems

The burial ground,  groomed to greet
the gatherers of their love apocalypse
with garlands grown and sown
from the rose fire of Athena's throne,
on this day they come to mourn
the Poet who perished for the passion of...

From ashes of Sokovia, a twin sister rose,
With powers of chaos and psionic flows,
Wanda they called her, tethered spirit unfurled,
As women before her, she reckoned this world. 

Her pain born of loss, and hurt tragedy,
Fueled...

without question I climbed. 
Until finally I had reached the peak of Mt. Everest.

But...
 I saw a...

Out of control and I only finished the eighth grade.

He had seen chicken necks 
twisted and broken in Chinese markets, 
the plucked dismemberment 
of flapping wings. 

With help, 
he could have strung his carcass up 
like a hog on a hook. 
He would have...

Who am I?
That’s something I wonder everyday 
From being delighted to traumatized
Is something quite normal for me
From feeling emptiness to unease
Overthinking every mistake I’ve ever made
To every action I’ve decided to take 
Butterfly effect?
A concept...

To her from him...

They say "when it rains, it pours."
The absence of your love is causing a mental war.
Since you been gone things just aren't the same.
Beneath my breastbone my heart screams your name.
It was...

Winter has taken hold of my heart.


In the dark of night she slunk in, leaving frosty-footprints on the glass,

dusting my eyes with powder...

The lilies were a surprise!
One white flower, petals curling, 
Greenish buds just starting to open,
Sweet aroma filling the house!
A gift from a friend who
Knew I was downhearted –
Who understood the angst that
Pursued, that wriggled in
Underneath...

Feel that little thump,
Against your breastbone?
There it is again,
Like a pulsing little phone.

If you could answer,
what would you say.
Were any of my desires
Unmet today?

Valentines day
In the middle of winter
It is a great time to listen.
Let...

Around the corner




Past year memories,
Haunting solicitude,
Teary eyes,
Sinking heart,
Spooky gloom is,
around the corner !

Noise of a little drop,
A ray of sunshine,
Heart ceases to beat,
palpitations thereafter,
Pounces out of breastbone,
Scare is around the corner!

I can hear his footsteps,
As...

On my heart, a winter swathed 
palm
Her spring flowers only right for 
When chill itself dons out windblown—
Attached there by my faithful arm.
Green there and here tell on you soft,
Your story's places in the snow—
While...
