Wounded

Lonely and alone, single now with the children my only comfort and yet a reminder.

My heart lies languid and...

To contemplate the Romeo and Juliet that set your life's stage
You ever paused to ponder the mystery...

Confession In the Dark

The Things people will SAY in the Confessional!*

Silly things!

…Terrible things!

And then, they go away clean, and I am broken…
These things Christ is supposed to heal, and He DOES heal them, ALWAYS,
But He lets me bear...

Today Is Terrible----

The cracked spine of
the book I dropped
at the call.
A chip in my
windshield left by a
pompous *?#@! in a
red sports car as I
drive to the
service.
Rain expectorating
from an ashen sky as
the dirt is turned.
Today is terrible.
Though this...

Childs Hell

My small pristine flower, crushed while yet a bud.
My young innocence stripped, left trampled in mud.
Walk away. Collect your cash, no emotion for me.
Little body bruised, torn with blood. Drugged blind, you do not see.
Daddy,...

Murder of a Betrayed Soul

Have you slowed your busy pace to take notice of a drop of rain? 
 As the sun glints through it, do you see its natural and quiet beauty?
Becalm your soul in the exquisite burst...

Exclusive First Photos From Hell

A camera flashes upon a scene of hell.
Seared flesh glowing red and orange.
Bodies within preform a lavish jagged dance.
Gyrating corpses with flame for tongue.
A camera flashes upon a scene of hell.
Smoke curls, eyes glow, teeth...

My joy at its best, my hurt at its worst.

 My hurt at your birth with waves of contractions.
My joy at your first steps in those booties...

For My Husband

I love you for being my husband.

Cogito Ergo Sum

If a light  thinker,  I am superficial...
If ponderous,  I am the elephant
in the room, unwanted and unloved.
If I think at all,  I am minority,
wandering from problem to conclusion—
again..again 
bringing forth curious...

Redemption of a Child

It has been years of terror, pain, nightmarish hell!
Little girl in faded cast offs, shuffled from back room to main office.
Disembodied voices, cubicles, paperwork, a drab cell.
Letterhead, Department Of Children Services, an address and phone...

The Hidden Me

Walking through life all alone, 
I live my life in monotone.
Watching the days go by, 
I sit and wonder, why?
What purpose do I serve? 
What is it to just exist? 
Wandering blind in a veil...

above our heads, insouciant,
though lacking alpha and omega,
unassailable until
am uninvited. gracious guest.
a dazzling flash of spirit life
uproarious, descends.
For all we know, a glitch in time,
(a mere intensity of purpose undefined)
