Every December she remembers. 
And every December he relives the memory of the greatest loss of his childhood. 
The loss that has impacted the rest of his life and forever altered the season of Christmas.

In the lives of those whose memories are cradled in destruction
comes a time when such memories are forgotten and the passage
of time brings a new birth and such things become distant.
One such story shall never...

His makeup is pasted on him as though a ghost

The makeup was taken from my very last breath

The lack of blood in my veins caused it to be white

As the mime prepares for his reenactment...

If I could personify my heart
I would see a lost, young girl
though her face seems child like and naive
her eyes are wise and cautious, aware of the world.

She stands near the edge of a cliff

In the dimly lit corners of her existence,
She lingered, a ghost in the midst of persistence.
From the womb, she was marked, a black sheep born,
Destined to wander, forsaken and torn.

In childhood's tender grasp, she stood...

Spinning, her world seems to move so fast
Or maybe it's an illusion disguising the past    
She thinks a lot about what's behind          ...

I have this pebble in my hand
I always loved those stone
and wish I'd collect millions of them
Keep them in my house
and bring them to life with beauty, acrylic and pattern

But lets imagine for a minute
Okay?

Romance is a notion, a feeling, a call,
It adorns life with beauty, with grace, with enthrall,
A love that ignites the heart, that soothes the soul,
It's a bond that unites, that makes the world whole.

The sun spills through the window’s pane
And settles upon a cherry wood cane.
And on that cane an old woman leans
As she stares out the window at trees of green.

Her mind drifts back to much younger...

Yesterday at a restaurant with family…during our talking, laughing…eating
one again I realized how every moment’s fleeting.

A story is told, we laugh but that story’s laughter does not last
because another story takes its place and it...

Poetry reveals, enlightens, consoles
Holding reflecting mirrors up to our souls,
Showing what we might not otherwise see
Suggests how our lives might better be
Poetry instructs, refreshes, and amuses,
Often fascinates; sometimes confuses.

Poetry blends the colors of our experiences
Breaks...

Now an adult she still has nightmares
As she relives that horrific day
Believing she was going shopping with her aunt
But it had never been planned that way
On the way out she kissed her mother goodbye
Excitedly she...

She wondered, entering the sea, in fierce relentless rain,
As the waves crashed hard against the rocks, would she see the sun again?

Her life was dark now,like the sky that loomed a murky grey,
Her body breathing...

Sometimes when 
moonlight weeps to sleep,
I sit, draped 
in burning dreams,
and beautiful nightmares 
of moments lost,
engraved along the rising
of blushing blossoms,
within cerulean azure.

But shadows fade, 
as clarity descends 
upon the ivory beach,
adorned in pearls 
and...

I pity him, a young black teen
Trying to be a man with no self-esteem
He examines his life but still can't get it right
His history and past still affecting him at night

He dreams dreams where he...

Come with me to the Talking Tree
a place where spirit and nature can be.
Where science of the forest couples
with ancient traditions of the land.
Where indigenous people learn to live
with trees mindfully hand in hand.

Its overwhelming the choices I have to make 
But you make me feel light with the steps I take
The pressure is squeezing me and I’m going to explode
With you I glide when I stroll down...

The Purpose Of Life

Some say that doubt among many truth’s convictions relieves the questions

I could never explain how I feel
On air, waves of sounds escaping what I could no longer hear
Aggravation lingers on the tongue
How it burns, perpetually, embedding anger on taste buds
I will remember the taste of...

Being old on the outside may look like your winter has come
But inside your heart
Spring has just begun  - Peter Dome 2024.

Beneath the weathered leathery furrows
Wrinkles baggy folds and lines
Says a face lived in

The memories pull her down,
Like the undertow. 
Drowning.
Suffocating.
She tries to fight it, 
But it’s of no use.
She feels dirty, fat, victimized, defiled,
Extorted, broken, and ugly.
She can feel their hands on her
The unwelcome touches and gestures.
She...

My ‘not-just-six relatives’ tree enlivens…
   Living, thriving, struggling and
    clinging reminders even ‘dead wood’!

Bringing life anew reveals…

It starts with a hiss and a screech
as the murder train pulls in at the station
Its cars painted black its windows darkened
by the secrets and sins of every nation

The conductors smile is twisted and cruel

MULTIVERSE ME*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What if I've lived the exact present I’m living now before,
doesn't it make sense to think of it as though...
there is another part of me in another universe,
going through the same thing?

Should I believe...
