Couplet
don’t tear me apart anymore
Dedicated to Adele’s Hello song…

Screaming silently with pride
Healing with God’s timing alone, God’s timing alone
Everything is tearing...

Shoveling I-Cycles
He said he planned to freeze to death.
Did he mean to have his body frozen?
Stored to hatch again later,
leftovers out of time's deep freezer of waiting.
No, not that.
He responds with undeniable dismissal,

The Lazarus Heart
“The Lazarus Heart”
In the moment
time stops:
suspended; seen
in solitary confinement
the heart of a soul
silent light weighted
in the dark, rebellious
is the meaning of a name
Mary waits four days
in the flux
The Lazarus Heart
kick starts bedevilled

Why Im In Love With the Moon
I am in love.
I do not “do” love. I feel it. It pulses through me, hard, and blurs my vision.

Petrichor
"Petrichor "
Two minds

sandpaper against back stories hit
The Wall of Wasted Time

He’s all hard hot and cool

Fixing me with her timid tear-watered gaze –
You lived in paradise, on the wings of angels,
And you were an alcoholic…
So we had to take you away...

Birds No Longer Chirp Peace
With these winds of July ever sweeping the earth,

Fiery frame of mindset
Be my guide
I’m sorry I lied
guilty passion got me
Compassionately free
Guilty pleasure
Is beyond measure
I will endure…I have a cure…
Memories inflamed, no lies
I came undone
You’re my sunset and sunrise
From dusk to dawn
You’re my Sagittarius and Pisces...

Creature
Observing.
Frozen in time,
captivated by this enormous being,
the size of a small car.
Pondering,
his every move.
The way he used his hands;
so child-like.
With all the consciousness of the world,

Aware.

We brave situations daily, with masks on, we hate this
Everyday the same thing, and instead of searchin'
For greatness and we become complacent servants

The narrowing of choice, opaque or black?
Unconfident die castes vote ballot blank,
How has our circus bread become this bland?
What a diverse homogeneous blend,
All stitched to sleeves but less with blood to bleed,
