Jealous of even her own son and daughters

Color Blind
Red, purple, blue, yellow, black, white, green,
So many colors around can be seen.

Over petty stuff

Mosquitoes and flies starting to buzz

21st Century Victorians
High Collared, face powdered
nose held high above
Anybody else

Living in shadows, ignoring
Urban decay, misshapen society
Talking about life in whispers
Because everything is too vulgar
For your poetic eyes to bear
Only seeing

"The beautiful things"
Blind to...

Mother told a story yesterday 
of how poets die in black penury 
she said I won't be a pretty poet
as my dreams dance on my ink
"Poets are mirror of deceit and pain
craving beyond the debris...

My wife said she was on her way

A Poet In Love
I am a poet,
A poet in Love!
I see the whole of the universe
spun in a ball

The mirror cracks with violent shattering
pieces everywhere, but soon a calm silence, for a...

You tell me I should never judge,
When I cross paths with you.
That I should always show respect,
To what you say and do.

You tell me not to speak.

And to keep on multiplying, growing, and achieving.

There are some things that I would say
to help you out along the way:
mistakes I’ve made and deep regrets,
things I would change you’ve not seen yet.

Young Girl Part 1
They say, “Young girl, don’t cry.
It’ll be ok if you just dry your eyes.

You asked
