WHOA! 
Stop right there my friend! 
For there’s no place in where you can run and hide  
So stop and listen  
Listen to the voices warning you to go back 
Screaming...

I wait—

here I wait
for white magic reverie
to embrace me   free me

here I wait—
an hourglass full
of leopard-print thoughts 
sugar-granular-musings spill
the beginning to the end of a story
the potential   the inevitable
life finite ...

Maybe this is a cliché, but it’s not you it’s me.
He was consistently reminding me how selfish I could be,
And saying the world steadily revolves around me.
I would normally disagree, but with his wisdom he...

The original Independence declarations
of the late 1700s
were born from a West European colonizing
and North American creolizing immigration wave
knowing and exploring a God of EnLightenment,
opposed to dark evils of inherited entitlements
to monopolies of economic health-hoarding and...

Apoplectic curmudgeon fumbles...

Jumpstarting outstanding undertaking...
bringing jouncy, spectacularly crafted,
nuanced, zesty, noteworthy, creatively
spirited enlightened written poem.

This raggedy man doth inconsolably weeps
kept rudely awake whilst disobedient sheep
incur wrath of Little Bo Peep, she lambastes
protesting courtesy rambunctiousness being
future mutton...

When Dragon communed with nature, all the pigeons came home with him.
And from our daily feeding of wild birdseed, they decided to take their fill.
Unfortunately, they did discover, they liked it, a little bit, way...

Although I greatly loved socializing, I really enjoyed being alone,
Like ebony evenings of magic, with no ringing of the telephone.

Since my young childhood, I had been, an introverted extrovert,
Like one with eyes to azure skies,...

A battlefront benefactress,
She has her fortress, a fortified Princess, inside the dungeon of distress,
Tiled with the bone chips of ingratitude colored in pigments of black bright & rugid red,
An arrowhead chandelier illuminated by wicked tears,...

I was the last of ten children in my family

Nine lovely girls and li'l ole me

Spoiled you may rightly assume

WRONG!

I was the sweetest well mannered offspring

That a parent could ever wish for

Even to the point...

I'm only allowed the names of three
so I will write of those that would be for me.
There are so many that this is unfair
but, since that is the rule I must list there:

She flashed, piercing, upon the screen and I,
though fastened in my suit and steeled 
to speak apostasy,  
stood riddled, my notes a sudden blur.  
Posing after the War, she beamed outward joy.
Unbound by...

Anesthetized, day one, I become her bug caught in the web
Asphyxiated, entangled and cursed, numbed to feel no pain
It was a Wednesday if I remember when we wed
She grew a beard and punished me for...

Pavlov’s dogs are salivating
bells of nature ring as
every action yields consequences
stimuli evoke a response and
primeval instincts dance with evolution

‘I think therefore I am’ jingles in the mind
while valid emotions seek freedom
from primordial shackles and chainsaws...

Flan
 
The perfect dessert for me.
For it has the perfect texture , so consistent throughout.
It's gelatinous yet doughy body that is so sweet to the soul , tongue and mouth.
So beautiful and understating  just...

Lost in the green, leafy space,
Resting on his back out in the country,
The old hermit picks himself up and stands.
He begins the morning trek in the forest
Admiring the nature filled scenery—
The last retreat from the...

Brace my knees and tighten my shoes.
My legs and my mind are ready to cruise.
My lungs are open, and the breeze is nice.
My minds games will not suffice.

Headphones on, turned to max.
My body is now...

Solace Motions

The mom shot out children faster than a gun
Moon helped pull some with gravity
Twenty in all confirmed and documented
It’s only natural
The births came on one at a time

One was Solace
Who flew through mom’s skirt...

The relationship that never was
Profoundly failed just because….

Promises were never kept
Basic lack of respect
Thoughtless, heedless, grim neglect
Difficulty to connect…

Physical did not exist
Broken hearts and egos squished
Frustrations, anger slowly mixed
Unleashing such contemptuous rift…

Somewhere along was not...

Take the months out of a year,
take the weeks and days out,
just follow what you see
not what clocks and calendars tell you.

Then we would have to relearn
how to judge time and read the seasons -

before you tell
of the heaviness in your heart
it is only natural
to want to tell of mine first

before you can tell
of how brutally you were violated
by your mom’s men
who peeped through the key hole
of your bedroom...

From the night I was born on a still midnight hour
I had to face many a trial
to cope with life's challenges.
Some called it baptism by fire,
others said it was only natural to keep a tough...

On the doorstep with the mail
A letter from the Police
Looking for a male
Who disturbed the peace

My description was a match
I did start to panic
I’m not their prize catch
It’s just a line up and that’s it

Traveling with mom throughout Paris 
was an amazing and rewarding experience, 
As she truly was the highlight 
Of this trip. 

It is only natural that I dedicate 
an entire post to her 
and thank her...
