Claustrophobic Centers
Much has been felt
then written
about loneliness at the top
Less written,
yet perhaps far more often felt,
about claustrophobia in the center.
Problems with delegation,
boundaries,
predictable timelines,
responsive management focus,
follow through performance,
closeted partisanship,
competitions to be heard
listened to
appreciated
respected
for our therapeutic,
and not...

Landsbyen -Into the North- An Epic Poem 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wind ever stirring, the snow swirling 'round
Ahead lay destiny, a lone dying form
He felt a stirring, as if homeward bound

Wind Song
I was a professional flutist, and performed in orchestras and symphonies,
To express the sheer joy of living, like the birds sing to summer's breeze.
Becoming accomplished took many years, and I'd played since childhood,
As a late...

A Few Choice Words From My Daughter
Busy getting ready to go to a meeting
I was looking through my closet for something to wear
My 20 year old daughter, Shereen, was in my bedroom
Showing me her new clothes
I marveled at her
What a body

Damaged
They stick labels on broken things that say damaged
Damaged but still usable

Sharknado: a Parody
The day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by merciless gales of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets attacking like
Vikings in a brutal and violent dance.

The First Stone- Part I
As they threw her to the ground
He quickly drew back into the crowd
Adjusting his clothing
Hoping to go unnoticed
To fit in
He watched her
Cover her bare breast
With his prayer shawl
Why hadn't he been smart enough
To grab that...

April Showers
Of first embrace and broken glass
I cherish that first spark
New light upon our forest' dark.
Do you recall that northern wind?
It came at first so swift
Perhaps our growing light enraged
Poor Hopelessness', her whims denied
Inspired shadows...

Desensitized, Until I Met God
Feeling everything at once,
And nothing at all.
Numb?
Maybe.
Just may be the medications,
My therapist says,
Meditation.
The answer,
The problem?
Is manic depression.
Some say disorder,
I scream.
Obsession.
The doctor’s dose me,
I obliged,
Just because I don’t want to die.
Addiction killed my soul,
Reprive,
Or spiritually...

And we came to the Dante-esque crossroads

Almost
Went jogging today.
Needing to burn off extra carbs that latched on to my weight;
Needing to build up stamina needed for daily chores.
Setting a target of 12 miles,
Off I ran.
Setting the time for 2 hours,
I kickstarted...

Another Kind of Care
And then,
As he did everyday,
He woke up from a deep sleep.
He greeted the day with the same care
That he had laid himself down to sleep,
When he bid the day goodbye the night before....

I Must Not End This Story With a Happy Ending
I must not end this story
with a happy ending as many
stories that are written for money;
I have come to the conclusion
that I must not end this story
and enhance it with allusion!
