Long Brokenhearted Poems

At the edge of a wood, in days of summertime,
Lived Hansel and Gretel, once upon a time;
Whose dear father, a poor woodcutter,
Could no longer earn their bread and butter.
Late one night, a conversation overheard--
As from...

Moving forward, my time at rehab. 

One door and corner at a time.
On time here at the door.
There, at the table. Eat or play. Group it.
Bracelets hold us together and drag us...

And sometimes it is no deterrent, when it carries traces of danger.

Like varicolored...

You’re my star – I set fire to our firey rose 
Bouquet of stars – I hand to you – 
We’re opposites, like poetry and prose
You came out of the blue, I’m left without a...

Out in that sky, no one sleeps, not even the stars.

We are at the 24-hour late-nite diner

and they’re serving up fruit

from the plants growing out of the floor.

We watch bodies fall to the ground outside

Sipping in solitude inaudibly,
I feel left behind like an orphan child, 
Waiting for a stranger’s ride, 
I was left on the front steps of someone else’s house and I’m left to be
An introverted child, brokenhearted,...

I walk around the edge of paradise
I stalk you with my universe eyes
Let’s walk in unison in Sorrow Town
But, nothing’s going to weigh us down

Let go of me, for I can survive on my own

I move around...town...
Rollin' 'round like a ball...mind-blown...
High School has just begun
Before the arrival of the dawn
Cemented to the sand of the beach...
Your voice on the phone - I beseech
The path of wrath...
Is where I tread...

He was raised by his Great Grandmother
One day she taught him

Work hard, find a woman who has a strong back
Beauty fades it doesn’t...

God does to mend emotional pain and suffering, trauma;

No Lossers Are Left

No losers are left;
Seems like Trump has found them all;
Exist on his staff.

Oh ...

Spring-tide ...
Always things that juxtapose,
Life never flows as smoothly as a gentle rill 'round a stone.
Brief notes of harmony, torn asunder by a cacophony of chaos,
Turmoil the norm ... reality the chill that bites...

(A lone voice whispers)

 I can still subliminally feel 
All those sad fears

Rhythmically swirling like sharpened kitchen knives
Within all your world crazy choices

Which cuts me so deep
Like cold Tamahagane steel

Above all this new
Life's 
Now old...

Turn away from evil…
Do what is good or what suits God well
Seek peace and pursue it prudently 
Patiently, rely on God and our hearts will not bleed with dismay
Knock on His door everyday
He will hear...

Sitting on the bed, legs crossed, and still, 
She sits and wonders how her life could be so real 
that it's like a fantasy – a fantasy gone bad. 
She stops and smiles at herself...

Evening solitude


The walk was cold and lonely,
Interesting, I don't know, but this feeling always awaits me,
I don't need anything here or anywhere else.


Nothing, the night is waiting, I'll be invisible, I'm gone, reality flashes,
The reality...

The
fire within you
devours my hopeful
aspirations…I shiver
with freezing
hopelessness
Give me your heart
and let me fill it
with affectionate
bliss for eternity
Countless déjà vus
unleashes in my
brain 
Don’t hang up the
phone – hang out
with me; don’t leave
me hanging in
downright distress
Why do...

Isn’t it time? (to get over)

I can see that you’re brokenhearted…
and, you’re still thinking of him
I’ve been hoping you’ll notice me… 
although the chances are slim.

Why can’t you give yourself a break… 
and go out...

The Spirit of the Lord,

Is upon me. I have

Victory. I will share

My story of my life

Trials and tests, and

How You saved me.

I know that I have,

The authority, and

The audacity to exclaim,

To Satan that He's under,
