Losing Anastasia
Detrimental, this situation...so detrimental
Why, why do I even persist; why do I even bother to contend

Am I the pretender, pretending nothing affects me
like a contagious infectious...

Clothed in Poetry Parchment
I am a creature like others, taking for granted each breath,
making mistakes, some no amount of contrition can erase
which makes my faults no less dismal than death.
Unless by the mercy of my Creator, I am...

American Dread
re-write of American Pie:
A long, long time ago,
I can still remember when,
The presidency meant so much.
I was sure that when they got to vote,
They wouldn't choose that pompous goat,
And now I'm just astounded that they...

Blend in with the environment, remain undetected, make a clean escape
out of the room into the heavy air of the universe outside
for the torment of my youth, there,...

Haunting Fruit and Innocent Wish-2b
Continued from 2A
My mind drinks in the smorgasbord that lays before me
Baskets of mangos, papayas, apricots
Red and green peppers
Nuts and dates in white porcelain covered metal bowls
Spices in see through plastic bags
A stone bowl...

I do not know?
A Mother's Prayer
The present darkness threatens.
Why can’t I see the light?
And yet my faith still lingers
Like a flame of candlelight.
The weakened short wick struggles
And nearly smothers out
While prayers of love
Fall softly from a mother’s mouth.
Though my...

This Is My Transformation T
I hunger inside
To grow and grow forever
do I want to stay?
I hunger inside
to grow and explore all that is new
yet it means to toss away the old
my old life and old self
and embrace the...

The Pieces of Peace
The pieces of peace were handpicked
Picked in the heart of the night
Shredded for an aspiration
To clutch the lone torch contained by the dark
A glimpse for some unusual rank
Then comes the arrival of time...

Goodbye
This dark twisted game.
I'm running desperately trying to escape.
Frozen hands wrap around my mind in cursed fear.
So alone. So scared. So lost.
Can I find a way through...

I Choose Life Instead
I swallowed my life away one day
No desire for the future to play.
No care to live another moment
I just wanted the world to be silent.
A handful of pills I quickly take,
Soon my body would...

Down-Sizing
Moving boxes now
Sorting through life's memories
Trying to balance
I feathered my nest
Filling the rooms of my life
With such fine objects
Stuffed into corners
Old emotions are guarded
Tears are welling up
I pick some things up
And put them back where...

The Frugal Artist
How I love, just to create;
making things, with wire
and other old scraps.
Settling on a design,
I will make it to sell,
but my accounting’s not quite straight.
I’ll begin my project, straight...

Often in life we have to let everything go.
All attachments will dissipate one day,
only the heart and soul survive the blow
of other fingers, other eyes
making judgments that are hard to realise
as they toss away tid...

Blurred future sideway images,

Everyone Would Say
Everyone would say, did you hear?
She's the one
She's too young
How irresponsible
Wearing smiles upon their faces,
pasting labels on her back
Her sullied reputation,
a newborn in her pack
How impossible
Everyone would say did you know...

Time and time again I fight
To make what's wrong into a right
But though I try and give it my all
I'm powerless and feel so small
The world is burning outside my window
But I have memories as...

Instead I write to spend my new day

If you dare not raise the sun
We must live in the blackened night

Still Dizzy After Our Fall
Still dizzy after our fall, ears ringing with fear,
Crammed in a hole we dug with our hands,
We toss away moments of galloping rage,
Scattering secrets we once kept to ourselves,
Suave as the wind, a gentle...
