Long Playlists Poems

It was just a silhouette but it reminds me why I left the spirit box closed 
I felt as though the hand I was holding
Was yours and not my own
In my want to believe
But reality...

I’ve always loved music. As a little girl, I could spend hours going through peoples CD collections, sampling them with my little battery-operated CD player. If you showed me a stack, rack or box of...

she is everything you have seen in the movies
crayola hair
velvet dress
sugar in her veins
tears glued to her face
she fingerpaints the kitchen walls like a little girl and tapes their polaroids to every surface

he is every...

We’re (my pose is gathered this Saturday morning because I made a pancake and bacon breakfast) listening to a Britney Spears song, off one of Leong’s playlists. “I remember when I was about 8,” I...

An oversized vintage T-shirt is 
My weekend attire or 
More like my mainichi attire
My face bare
Exposing an unnamed galaxy of freckles
The bottle of
Cheap combini
Apple sparkling wine
Feelin like a millionaire
A neon highlighter between my lips
A novel...

Yale student radio (wybcx) is playing throughout the suite. I’m working on chemistry problems but when a song I don’t know is good enough to catch my attention, I add it to one of my...

I hear a few songs from my playlists that make me think of you
And I wonder if you have any that make you think of me
You don’t call anymore, even after I asked you to
And,...

when you wake up in the wee hours of the morning
	or, perhaps, if you were to wake in the wee hours of the morning
and pad with bare feet past your 
humidity-warped Georgian porch
to collect the...

WOW! What a jam packed week ahead..
I've no time to rest or sleep.
I'm working 8 hours each day
For the bills I must pay..
And multiple adventures to seek.

I've lost 20 pounds and tried on new dresses..
Shopped...

The Cure For Winter Blues

Don't be feeling down
Just because winter came around
Let me share things I have found
Before more snow hits the ground

My youtube channel viewwithme
Has much excitement for you to see
So go to the...

You want to play the blame game, I'd rather let bygones be bygones
But let's do it your way and just say I was wrong
I don't want to go back and forth, tit for tat, let's...

Politics is all about haves and have nots.
Who gets ahead.  Who waits in line.
Privileged ones, and the rest get denied.

Politics is about relative truth.
Data be damned.  Conspiracies claimed.
Favors for votes.  Constituents maimed.
Politics...

Sometimes I can't believe it
It all happened so fast
Real life is truly here
Just who is that looking at me in the mirror?
How come these bills are addressed to my name?
It's like I went to sleep...

Instead of playing your regular playlist
Just shuffle the playlists one day
And yes, you should not skip, I insist...

What wil happen now?
You will hear your least fav song first
You will be upset, but still you know...

From morning light until 6pm at night,
I'm behind the scenes curating delight. 
With tones that echo on your radio,
blending local stories into audio.

In the heart of waves, where frequencies ascend,
from AM to FM, radio signals...

Rabbits at junctions are often akin to moons at traffic lights. A light lunch is preferable to a whisky scone when taking a picnic to a lake. But playlists can play so font argue with...

Windows open on the bay
Fluffy yellow king duvet
Satin sheets and pillowcase
Frilly tablecloth of lace
On it coffee mugs for two
Latte, French press, freshly brewed
Boho style living room
Orchids all year round abloom
Bluebird pictures on the wall
Knitting needles...

Lisa and I wrap and rap for Christmas.
Can you imagine the two of us doing that?

We’ve got Christmas playlists going
Christmas scented candles glowing,
and milky hot-chocolate flowing.

“Stir the marshmallows with the candy canes,”
Lisa says, like that’s...

We’re busy all day long with studying and chapter summaries,
we’re stuck in quarantine. Luckily, I like my roommate's company.

We know that we have work to do as prep for upcoming classes,
but we know that it...

We laughed uncontrollably together.
We comforted each other in need.
We always made fun of each other.
We always had each other's backs.
We fought for delicious food.
We gossiped about people together.
We dreamed together, accompanied by dreamy clouds.
We walked...

Music jogs my memories, sonnets sock their toes,
where parts are missing holes are filled with frilled and fancy flows.
Sometimes sadness lurks where repetition works,
and overplaying certain songs will draw out nasty smirks,
not smiles that represent...

You should see us move to the beat
with Ciara in the driving seat. 
She’s on the stage ready to rock
as on us older ladies she takes stock.
To join our club you have to be
over fifty...

Sitting, thinking,
quick sands sinking,
eyes shut, blinking,
cotton mouth, drinking,
faucets, dripping,
playlists, skipping,
sanity, gripping,
thoughts rapidly shifting,
jealous eyes,
telling lies,
heartache cries,
numbing pain inside,
only complicate,
need to medicate,
over sedatate?
Hiding under stone rocks,
thrown at glass houses,
armor is wet cardboard,
made out of cereal boxes.
violent,...

Today I have nothing more to say,
Am only wishing you happy labour day,
To all workers from Nairobi to Homa Bay,
Respect to workers who don't receive a pay,
Yet they volunteer  to serve  free day...
