Anticipation of Reality
So cramped ...
Strain to move,
Flex and budge in tiny increments ...
That's the limit.
Constantly testing, trying,
Pushing, pressing ...
Constrict, exert, constrict, struggle,
Spin slowly, push ...
That's it. That's all.
Nothing more.
But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...

Dad, this my apology and a prayer of farewell.
To you and me.

And all the things in my life now make since.
Your sad gray eyes haunt me...

I Am Not Sure If This Is Love
He always told me we should never love each other.
We would hold hands when we walked down the street, and up the two concrete steps that were rough and scalding hot on my bare feet
Mid-July...

Des Mots
Powerful as a winter wind gust,
Pretty as a spring lily,
Warm as summer sun,
Fun as a fall leaf pile.
All encompassed in one person.
Flawed but beautiful.
I watch with admiration at the
Strong
Independent
Woman.

Little Box
I fell back into mediocrity, or rather
it fell back into me.
I longed for colossal waves to crash through me,
Inflate my veins,
Saturate my heart,
Those waves so gigantic that when they approach you aren’t sure
whether you dive...

Ode To Two Poets and the Poetry Soup Prophets Hip Hop Remix
Yo I know 2 poets, one young and one old,
Bold, and bright, bodacious,
But still gracious, perspicacious, never racist,
Moving to the beat of two generations,
Elations, facing nations, speaking truth to power,
This is their hour,
Yo, I...

'what In Whom,' Is Everything
To hear them is what's easy
But to understand them
I wouldn't make much of them
I don't know how to feel them
Given only the numbness
Or how to say them
Given only the discomfort
And tightness amongst the neck
Yet I'm...

Making Sense of Nursing
The senses of a nurse are many.
They are used to help, heal, comfort and console.
The healing "touch" we strive so hard to find initially soon becomes second
nature.
The ability to relieve pain, even if we...

Hideaway In Advance

To find some way
To explain what we think we need
Is it an excuse to blame the world
For what we refuse to see

Ignorance Meets Insanity
Seriousness settles in, like an old friend
Seriousness spreads like a disease
Infecting us, accelerating, our aging process
Our youthfulness, our playfulness, slowly slipping away
Our wonder in life, diminishing
Seriousness leading to rigidness, pathway to small mindedness!
Days and...

In the Grip of a Panic Attack
"What's most horrible?" someone asked.
"What's most frightening?" another inquired.
Without a second, the soul replied:
"The panic attack."
One moment, I accept it;
The next, I encounter it.
Yes, it's a panic attack without any bear.
It begins with a...

Dramatic Monologue
Renaissance - First Place Contest Winner
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions. By Leonardo da Vinci.
In a chasm of hate, shards descend,
Crystallized thoughts; their paths now bend.
Splintered and cracked in a furious fall,
Merging, dreary roads white...
