JUST BEING A MOM WEARING WIRES PREGNANT FOR THE FBI AT THE SAME TIME TAKING MY KIDS TO GET IMMUNIZATIONS WE WOULD ALWAYS GET THE IMMUNIZATIONS FIRST THEN SIT AT THE BIG RED APPLE ON...

You came in from the cold to warm my life,
a beating heart resuscitating my imprisoned soul – 
bringing colour to the palette of my life.
I gave you me, all of me… all for you

I was...

Dear Santa,
 
It's almost a year now since the pain came to stay,
I do not know how to react anymore - 
he was here
but now no longer...
 
Is it possible that tears of long ago...

I cannot, will not, do not suffer fools gladly
especially those dolts that are not capable of recognising or realising
the plummeting depths of their own unfathomable foolishness!

It is believed that charity should begin at home, or...

Rose petals on a bed of dew
Teardrops down a satin cheek
Fingertips caressing a lonely frame - 
A window to another time.
 
Emptiness slowly dissipating
Fulfillment quickly recreating - 
Souls join in ecstatic laughter
Sharing, daring to be...

What is the point?
To slave all day in the hope of making a difference - 
a positive change in someone's dull monotonous life,
giving of myself in the event
that what I have taught 
they have learnt!

All I ask is that you bring the gift of love 
to those nearest and dearest to me – 
fill their hearts with the warm glowing feeling that once captured mine
and made it burn brighter...

I'm a bitch!
I'm a bastard!
But that is who I am
A paradox of virtues criss-crossed with elements of brokenness...
 
I have become what I have feared,
indifferent and disillusioned...
a man full of pain
let down by those that...

I heard it said - 
and I take it in good faith,
that basically you say I’m frigid,
an iceberg - impervious to heat...

I must congratulate you on not telling me to my face - 
God forbid,...

I’ve done things,
there is no denying that…
Some I’m proud of,
others not so much…
But either way, I own them – 
they are mine to embrace
and absorb into me.

I’ve done things,
this is true… 
I will own up...

Body
do not break me yet,
my armour is cracked and fading…

Eyes
do not blind me now,
I have too much still to witness…

Hands
do not waste away on me yet,
my canvas is parched and needs nourishment…

Feet
do not forget my...

Nothingness fills every inch of me
abominable sensations crawl from deepest recesses 
anxiety lunges at me – clawing at the soul
already battle-weary, depleted…

Mortalities plague my waking moments
ungodly images rouse the mind to endless tortures
trepidation ignites every...

Catch a falling rainbow
and paint my spirit
with colours of ecstasy!
 
Wash away all sorrow 
cast the hurt aside
and plunder the loneliness!
 
Look to the evening stars
wishing on Venus
and tasting the flow of life
that courses through...

I can almost pinpoint the hour, minute and second
when I realised that you don’t feel for me
as I do for you…

The needles and pins that pierced my heart
leave scars that run deep – 
hurt saturates...

Born out on Highway 9 down in Corpus
Saw a mermaid in the gulf or maybe a porpoise
What a time at South Padre during Spring break
In Amarillo one time I tried to eat a giant steak

And...

What to feel?
A confused state of doubt
and exhilaration
that captivates the very core of me,
accelerating me to a level of adrenaline - 
filling me with the hope
of a new horizon that dawns
just for me...
 
A new,...

Something is needling me so,
working away at my very core.
 
I feel frustrated, yet do not know why - 
a piteous feeling of distress
scratching away at my insides
and causing me much concern...
 
What can be...

Trying to say 
I am sorry
takes every fibre in my being to new levels.
 
I cannot fathom out
the uncontrollable hurt
and sense of loss
that
burns within me...
 
Sorry - 
a shallow grave of vocabulary,
a sham of emotion
but...

I may always appear like a shiny new buckle
gleaming in the morning sun,
freshly polished and ready to face the day
 
There is a side to me that very few see or even know - 
the...

Whatever we feel
no matter where we go
whoever we meet - 
there will always be only one!
 
One being we can turn to
search, journey and find.
 
We attempt to find spiritual upliftment
in all the wrong places...

Hearts beating on a lonely drum
while birds capture the essence on their wings - 
soaring to new heights
new beginnings
an era of dawn.
 
Pulses playing an alternative beat
harmonies reflecting in the shards of our souls -...

Enough of this incessant chatter!
Is there anyone out there that can speak without making a noise
and leaving the next victim in a state of disrepair
and despondency?
 
Oh, for the quiet and solitude
that surrounds you -...

Waves
Captain Nemo bids farewell
a sinking ship
hopes disappearing 'neath
an ocean of sapphire blue.
 
A turquoise cocoon
dreams of spirits calling
calling my name
welcoming me home.
 
Currents
Atlantis is looming
a forgotten world shrouded in legend
under a ruby sky.
 
Sanctuary
for those...
