Long Resenting Poems

I heard you calling my name in an echoing whisper 
I saw a bird take wing in the whirling wind of disaster 
I put my weary head on your broad shoulders
The moment we touched, I...

I can't make you understand how I feel,
And I've spent a lifetime trying to explain it.
Chances are YOU'LL never experience it,
As you are in the latest years of your life ...
There's no way to induce...

My prayers are not asking you to
 
save me from my enemy.
 
My children have turned their backs.
 
They praise dance with many
 
Adversaries-
 
When they need be refuking,
 
protesting and rebuking.
 
Among-st those who...

Right up until you were honest 
I found hope in the regressing of your sentences 
From fine wine to a poisoned chalice 
Remembering you in the corner of the grocery store 
Sparked the overwhelming urge...

You said every word you ever said to me
And I swallowed them out of curtesy.
But I can no longer take the pain,
My weight has gained,
under your blame.
And you said that I destroyed you,
So now I...

I still have that dream of us
on what would be my last day in Uruguay
sitting on a low stone wall
overlooking the vast sea
while the sun is chased away behind us
and the wind gently brushes the...

My sister Susie loved picking her nose
To her chagrin her little finger froze
It was stuck so far
Doc used a crowbar
Finger up nose - not a ladylike pose!

Our Mother, in a fit of Pique
At Susie's antics...

My soul 
    is in purgatory,
settling in fading tunes
  of suppressed silence,
swerving perpetually 
amongst
   smoky quartz silhouettes;
swiveling through 
the 
 dimmed dungeon 
to unraveling shadows
of yesterday’s destruction,
 moving in...

Dear whoever is reading this, you should probably stop
I've got a pen full of ink, and just took another Voddy shot
I've got love for everyone, even those who are resenting me
I'll be more offensive, to...

Have you ever had a massage of any kind?
During the process,did you,your teeth, grind?
I always thought you get this tender,sweet, relaxing feeling;
Until I became a massage client who left squealing.
What was going on inside my...

Forgive me, for I have sinned, forgotten my debt,                    
For I betrayed you, closest friend, and...

“I don't paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.”
Frida Kahlo“

In the absence of love,
a childhood is shaped by the stars,
but when black smoke is the only impression in the light,
sorrows peel in soundless...

There's a man in the waiting room
much older than myself.


His hands shake, calloused and wrinkled. 
They're just hands but yet, 
they look naked. 
Perhaps a ring was there once,
but long gone now for sure.


His brow...

...no more this and that as
the sweltering pain distills empty chit-chat

in the clarity of the dawn
while blinded lovers fawn

the words that are spoken are mostly broken

meant not in truth but merely as a consolation token

Beautiful, joy and a smile
Silencing every doubt, every fear
With a tenderness that erases
Every tear

Heartfelt inspiration, hues of grace
Stirring the spirit to dance, 
To breathe through the darkness
The melancholy, the worry
Feeling the light

Wonders so brilliant and...

Once they got to the front of the line and handed her their money and took a bite out...

Mount Baker seen from my window,
is framed in his garment of snow,
towering over his neighbors and
admired from the valley below.
His beauty can't be disputed,
the poets and artists concur.
His jealous sister is angry.
He's taking attention from...

Heavy weights carried on my shoulders,
 Thousands of crates and carts.
Darkness seeps through the crevises,
 Of my hopeful heart.
Clouding my mind,
 My true feelings and thoughts.
Searching for the way of happiness,
 That i need to...

Don't judge another person
The guy you think is a jerk may not be a jerk after all 
Why are we so quick to judge other people?
Either by their looks or their nationalities
Their race and what...

You don’t hate me now, but you will.
You’ll grow to hate the sound of my voice
And the way I say your name.
You’re going to hate that I’m always late
And that I’m late because I bought...

It rained on and on.
the fire in the hearth
had long died out.
hunger grew,	
frustration raged.

vultures swooped down
 to feed on flesh in the night
half willing, half resenting,
surrendered, rather subdued,

desire spilled over,
bristles pricking
from organ to organ
thrusting and...

Stop resenting me
For the way I shop
The things I do 
To make sure 
My  food is fresh

I confess I feel blueberries
In my fingers
To make sure they are firm
Not too ripe

I confess I shake 
Cans...
