Misquoted Childhood Apples
When I grew up there was no such thing
as microwave or t.v dinner's they hadn't

parentally enforced family time...

Self-Portrait with My Shoebill Friend as We Rebrand Spirituality
This time,
Janice is wearing a priest collar
and I’m the altar.
She hisses when I open my Notes app
during communion,
calls me a heretic
for spellchecking my trauma.
I tell her my whole personality
is based on being misquoted.
She says no,...

Writing Is How I Connect
Indistinct, they circumnavigate in the raw ~
they’re thoughts unprocessed and unpolished
ethereal and feral, nothing more than impulses really
If it were up to me, I might drown in that sea of ambiguity
and forego all...

& as an adult, women and responsibilities are what I fear,
If heaven is in the skies,
Maybe one day I'll meet Him on Jebel Amianin,
When the urge to think,
Draws...

The Sacrificial Toxicity
Bullet between the eyes, graveyard of dreams, demise.
Running bloodily through the fields
As the poppies to opium, they do give yield
Out on the fields with the mujahideens
Praying to an empty sky, drinking...

Proud Boy, Indeed
I was alone
in here I found a crowd
I was scared
in here there was courage, strength they said
Strengths to harm and kick and maim and kill
Drown the world in petroleum soaked rage
Napalmistry is a real study

Pretty Picture
What a pretty picture I have
for all the world to see.
It’s painted black and blue
and the gray part, that’s me.

Sacrificing Forever
Some can't imagine forever
So they came up with time and chance

Just one idea they advance
The Bible is not fantasy
Regardless what some may believe
The answers to our universe
A gift that we can all...

Hope Should Not Spring Eternal
They held an election and
nobody voted
Politicians complained they
were grossly misquoted
Atlas shrugged
The world unplugged
Slipped violently way out of
kilter.
Tea cups tipped
Newscasters quipped
Walk don't run but please get
to the shelter.
Strategists tasked to come up...

POWER IN THE TONGUE
POWER IN THE TONGUE
Words once spoken, have a life of their own
Quoted, or misquoted, perhaps written down
Emotion likely launched them from inception
Or a cold logical reasoning, in far fewer cases
Yet so rarely can erase their...

COUNTERINTUITIVE
COUNTERINTUITIVE
One would think that news was real
At least it was, mostly, as in the past
Yet with A.I images on social media
And even a misquoted encyclopedia
The scale of deception is quite vast
With emoticons about how you...

Taboo
There, in the middle of the vehicle free road,
she lulled herself, slowly and gently, back, and forth
to the rhythm of her rocking chair, as she sang
her song in earnest defiance, strident,
misquoted words of randomly...

Silence
Silence

Can be deafening
Cannot be misquoted
Yet, can be misunderstood
In silence
I am mastering the art of a swimming duck
I am mastering the taming of my tongue...

Suicide Velvet Rope-
I had a velvet rope-
I placed it round my throat-
I had given up hope-
The world has called me a dope-

did I afford mention I given up hope-
Been misquoted and...

Scorpio
Selflessly loyal to those I love but stubborn to a fault
Creating poetry, paintings, and artistic projects I exalt
Once touched by love, my heart is totally devoted
Resolved to honesty; intolerant of being misquoted
Perplexing, emotional, quite mysterious,...
