Once Upon a Halloween In the 50's

The excitement mounted as we rummaged around in the attic looking through old steamer trunks for discarded clothes and props to make Halloween costumes. With an old suit and hat of Granddads, I became a...

Healthy Life Integrity

I find a consistent
constitutionally protected value
hidden in Preambulation
and historical Declaration
reaffirming U.S. healthy democracy,
our Holy Grail.

Life
liberty
pursuit of happiness
well-being

During Enlightened Elder
1700s,
and still largely our worldview today 
in deindustrializing MidWest
sweltering South
acid raining East
and, most mystically,
among empowered Californians
and Oregonians

25 Years of Marriage - 15 Years of Neglect

There's weeds in my
garden I can't use a
ho(e)
The man who could
pull them don't care
no mo

The shit's overgrown
I might need a plow
But it's waited so
long that it's no
use now

When we planted the
thing we both shared
the work
Then...

Someone Else Entirely

You call me an opposer of racism,
a defender of human decency.
You call me a colorful quilt
filled with vast intricacies 
You call me a kindred soul,
one who is quick to lend a helping hand.
You call me...

I Am Not a Good Friend

I encourage her in so many ways, highlight her talents, minimise insecurities, tell her over and over again ‘she’s got this!’ I’d never dare champion myself, be in such awe; have the audacity of self-belief.

Existential Reprise

Before I scarred the page
Raging what your letters cannot invent
Let me invite you to other books
I wrote before you owed me wage
For all maladjustment and discontent
Tettering on tentacles on hooks
Invite you to an open age
Of...

School

Assembly. 
  Disassembly. 
    Reassembly.

When the bell tolls 
  it tolls for me. 
Alone I walk in crowded 
  concrete corridors; 
    feet, doom-laden,

A Ray of Light

A frightened boy struggles to cope,
filtering tears real life contains.
And scavenging for scraps of hope,
he slowly sifts through love's remains.

Fetal alcohol syndrome
warped the mind of this loving soul.
And placed within a foster home,
he paid an...

Beneath the Strawberry Moon

Hoisting passions fervid, probing celestial height,
Hypnotized we stood, enthralled in smile of June,
Caressing dreams flirtatious of a romantic night,
Reaffirming love, beneath the strawberry moon.

Pulsing beats heavenly, fantasies esoteric chased,
Thrilling realm of love, resonating deep in...

Promise of Love

Jubilation of my triumph, comfort soothing sorrow,
Aspirations of my passions, today and tomorrow,
Reveling reveries-elysian that love brought to fore;
You are the gift I adore, smiling through my yore,
As tenor of forever-love reverberates in your sphere

Wonderful Gift of Life

Wonderful gift of life 
By Michelle Morris

It's raining on my birthday
What a wonderful gift of life
The grass will be green again
Reaffirming nature's might

Her resilience is a lesson
For each and every one of us
So many bountiful...

Communication

Communication
Talking, Singing, Dancing,
Writing, Drawing, Praying,
Signing, Listening, Seeing,
Reading, Cooing, Touching,
Bridges in a list few,
That allow One to Two.
Or Expansion of One,
If the Ability to Be Common,
Is Ever Shrunk, Compromised,
The Feelings Become Numb,
We are Un-Mistakenly Downsized!
Laryngitis, Soundless,...

What the Soul Sees

In love with a woman
who stares at the mirror daily
and doesn't like what she sees 
She goes hard in the paint
redefining her identity. 
I enjoy reaffirming
who she is to me
by telling her, her beauty
is unchanging...

Heart Swallows Heart

Heart Swallows Heart

Heart swallows heart, 
nerve ends quiver with the action of envelopment, 
the movement is completed with sharp desire, 
this mess of physicality craves for fullness.  

Hand touches hand, 
eclectic messages sent through...

Purr-Purr-Purr

Waddling in like a drunken shadow,
my portly belly cannot pass unseen.
And once spotted, I meow my hello
regal-like, reaffirming I'm their queen.

I'm finicky and won't use my litter
unless it's paw-print deep and freshly cleaned.
And yet, though...

Written: by Miracle Man

More and more our lives are wedded to a phone,
It seldom leaves our hand or is left home alone.

I’m routinely interrupted by this monster’s ring,
I seldom respond to the message it might...

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

Be not pugnacious accomplices unwilling?
To ring in the New Year with festive greetings.
Open hearts freely, and air out old grievances.
Welcome spontaneity with forgiveness.

And seek solace with jovial acquaintances,
Reaffirming reliance in alliances.
Time is a...

Is There Life After Meth?

Spitefully sailing so cynical with sadness, 
Spiraling, shameful, infringement on madness, 
So high, but not perceived from flying,
Floating through white clouds of crying.

Poisonous preying presence looming, 
Rousing, erratic, irresistible glooming.
Not an orphan, but childhood family...

Contours of Friendship

Light and dark; shadows or bright 
Friendship lights up day and night. 
As pieces of plaster we’ve shaped and molded 
Rejoicing, mourning, as life has unfolded.
Unknowing, deliberately, undeniably we’ve left contours and impressions in each...

Fire of Birth

fiercely burning fire
setting the outback ablaze
devastating all

the thunder of hoofs as desperate animals flee
birds overhead fleeing the greedy flames, that
devour all they met leaving charred remains
of those too weak, sick or even just too slow...

Exile

We build the walls ourselves, 
  Within their confines dwell, 
In pointless isolation, 
  A personal prison cell. 
We wrap up our potential 
  In barbed wire and bouquets 
Of thorny Venus...

Gold At the End of the Rainbow

Simple reminder in Genesis 9
rainbow we see in the cloud,
sign from our God that He honors His Word.
Balaam affirms the demeanor of God.
Numbers gives verification -
God is not human for He does not lie.
Six, ...
