Mental Health

Memorial days of when my mind was clear as rain. Back then I did not feel so 
Elementally insane.  I used to whip up a poem in minutes and smile like a 
Neuromental trigger happy woman.  Then, as years went by I noticed the 
Tell tale signs of aging and slowing.   Stress settled in as life changed and  
A virus spread through the land.  I swallowed my fears and continued to  
Love, live and laugh but something had changed.  Me... My mental health...

MEDITATE ON THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE, IT WILL HELP YOU STAY FOCUSED :) 

Healthy is the man and woman who digs her own garden or grave, I say  
Enlist in the power of heavenly beings and do your very best. Life is 
A series of battles, lift your sword on high and don't let the devil win. 
Learn to live with what you have and find strength and comfort in the  
Truth.  Mental health is pliable, it can break it can heal, it can change.  
Help is there if you ask for it. You are not alone, so share your story...

TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE MIND !!! 


In Love And Light,

Premium Member Our World Changing, Not For the Better - Potd

It's not hard to see or tell this world of ours 
Isn't the same as it used to be. Granted, it has 
Never been perfect, but I've seen better days
I've become numb to a cavalcade of bad news
That saturate the television, social media
The radio, the newspapers. 

I see our world changing with my own eyes 
Every day, and not for the better. Sometimes I feel 
As if I'm dreaming, but it's not a dream. It's reality
It's like I went to sleep one fine day, and woke up 
To a world gone mad. A world, like crumbs 
Falling off bread being sliced

What happened to the state of civility? What happened 
To the nature of our social fabric? What is happening 
To our country? 

I'm so sick of Liar-In-Chief Donald Trump spewing 
Hundreds of lies every day, further breaking 
His unbreakable record of falsehoods. But why stop there? 
Since his presidency, racism, xenophobia
Fear-mongering, corruption, foreign and domestic 
Terrorism all surged exponentially

Under his watch, police brutality is at an all-time high
What is the world coming to when our "President" 
Sides with foreign cold-blooded dictators
Over America's intelligence agencies?
What is wrong with that picture? This nation, this world 
We're living in just isn't the same as it used to be

More and more African-Americans are ending up 
Dead at the hands of trigger-happy police officers
More and more celebrities are falling from grace
Many emerging as sexual predators since 
The inception of the "MeToo Movement" 
Oh, and let's not forget about the Catholic priests!

The never-ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Continue to claim the lives of American soldiers
Needlessly. When will our heroes finally come home?
What happened to the political climate? 
It has grown so toxic. Washington politicians 
Are failing to do the job the American people 
Elected them to do. 

The GOP has become the party of Trump
A so-called leader who stays up all night 
Tweeting more nonsensical lies, who continually fan 
The flames of division, continually assault 
Freedom of the press, calling a legitimate investigation 
Of Russia's meddling in America's election process 
A "Hoax" and "Witch Hunt." But we all know better, don't we?

I wish I could go back to sleep and wake up 
To the way the world used to be...


Poem Of The Day on 12/03/2018

Spaghetti Western

I woke up in a Spaghetti Western
Not sure how this happened to me
Standing on the dusty streets of Laredo
With six desperado's down the street

I gazed off to my left
As a tumbleweed went tumbling by
There was a dog howling in the distance
With an odd sheen to the Western sky

Can't say I wasn't trigger happy
With my hand inching towards my gun
Still wondering how it is I appeared here
In this B-movie Western 

Women and children were running for cover
They knew what was soon to go down
Truth is you can expect nothing less
When you live in a Spaghetti Western town

Pecos Bill was the first to draw
As I shot him between the eyes
Want you to know I took no pleasure in
Watching the other five die

As I rode off into the sunset
The credits behind me rolled
How I woke up inside of this movie
Is a mystery I will never know

Premium Member A Saddest Joke

Who is watching from out there
Would you listen if you care
You may not, cause anyway
No one counts on me to say
Hello there, how do you feel
Must I wonder what’s the deal
But your constant silence, man
Makes it hard to get your plan
What’s the great idea to hide
Hibernating there outside
And inside of me as well
Bless with heaven your old hell
Give me something in return
Something positive to learn
But no suffer and no grief
These old trials I achieved
And I find them bad enough
Please no more of this bleak stuff
And those power drunk who rule
Trigger happy, playing cool
If you can, take them away 
To whatever place you may
For I’m helpless without you
And it does seem overdue
To reveal if you’re out there
Still provide a little care
Cause in case you are retired
It’s a saddest joke they wired.

Premium Member Artillery Rain

~Perfect Rain~

I can see!
All the tribulations around
A rage against the burning wind
Nobody hears the crackling sounds in my voice
Everybody avoids feeling the smoke hidden within
A rain so deep it burns all the enamel off my skin
A rain that cut my soul in half
Two-piece that will not entwine or merge down a dragon path
I feel this eternity has no ending blaze
Trigger happy rain, extinguishing a bonfire around my rose.

I will sleep under the artillery stars tonight
With the perfection of my fiery crystal lava teardrops
Washing the ashes of my face,
Suppressing the overwhelming fear
Knowing no one will ever, "BLAME IT ON THE RAIN!" 
As long as the torch keeps loading another artillery round.

Premium Member Fire Drill In Swansea

We all went to Swansea 
To see the University
We had a nice lunch by the sea
In a place called Langland Brasserie

And later that same afternoon 
We got back to our hotel room
I settled down for a nice kip
While the girls enjoyed a poolside dip

I was having such a lovely sleep
Till sirens ripped me from the deep
Those intermittent bells so shrill
Another bloody fire drill

With bleary eyes and fuzzy brain
Got to my feet and took the strain
And feeling every aching joint 
I headed to the meeting point

Not being such a sprightly fella 
I filled up with a pint of Stella 
For a trigger happy fire alarm
Can sap your strength and do you harm. 

I took the lift back to our floor
Got to our room and locked the door, 
And saw, through all these fun and games
That Notre Dame was up in flames

Violent Deadly Crime Spree Shoots Upward Two

This epidemic re:
murderous love affair perfervid
with gruesome morbid
fixation allowing, enabling
and providing terrifying
trappings, whence went Pandora out the lid
anger loosed maniacally gun down
(in S-L-O-W mo) recorded by hid
madding crowd, each person
locked in crosshair grid
source (perhaps pathetic plan
premeditated) employing did
da ding from flying bullets,
a coterie upping the ante vis a vis bid
ding fare thee from odious
loading incendiary fiery clips.

Trigger happy homicidal maniacs slake thirst
to take aim in billeted soiree
with deadly precision, and spray
with pump posse city,
a congregated engaged groupon
of people), with egregious pay
shunt and methodically
mowing down, a slew - nay
re: doth unsuspecting
victim aware - delivering may
hem to this anonymous
American citizen as well
family and survivors, who lay
down their sorrows,
which bring revulsion and gray
obsolescence of faith in mankind to fray.

Death be not proud,
nor ought airtime allocated to these
heinous cavalier avengers
foe tee eight-hour special (proffers
twitchy finger itching to squeeze
especial easy access
to sophisticated high caliber compact
offspring doth please
manifesting those prize pride
killing machine owners never freeze
rapaciously with so much ease
lethal gimcrackery cutlasses
even a lil whippersnapper kite runner
unleashing whipping cords
lacerating more so than ropes will ever do  
necessitate strong control 
to stem violence as disease.

Black Cherry Mustang

“Black Cherry Mustang”



Torn jeans 
blood stilettos
black cherry mustang

The Getaway’s
goin’ down 
heaven’s a sin

with  
Coyote
howlin'

sensually pluckin'
away at her cello strings
astride his highway

she speeds

free on the 66
leaves fallin’ from 
all the witherin'

passed-by trees

Truth ...  ;)

passin'
between 
her lips

smooth for a player 
with a velvet tongue
thirsty for somethin'

smiles passionate
her familiar

howlin' daemon 
with a smokin’ hot
loaded gun

dealin' sweet kisses
like Jack O' Diamonds
his swift need cuttin'
slow 'n deep 

sharp as a knife
freein' a heart and
the tight ropes within
she comes undone

Love’s a forgotten
darker 
psychological 
need

Black Cherry Mustang
The Getaway’s
goin’ down 
heaven’s a sin

thy will be done

one hand 
on her wheel
his kingdom 
to come

the other one
trigger happy
changin' up 
Coyote’s chargin' revelations

drivin' in his
hot rays she feels 
a new story 
become

she’s sittin’ in the 
driver’s seat
shinin' in his
cool blue skies'

Smilin' 
Sun

My Worst Nightmare

I guess I'm feeling some type of way. 
It’s the day after the next day.
THE VERDICT; INDICTED!
Definitely it rocked this country.
I guess I'm sensitive, emotions running deep, with all this madness;
Most nights I can’t sleep.
I have a son almost the same age; 
I guess you can say I'm frightened for his well-being.
As much as a mother should be these days.
The tragedy has awakened more of a beast in me, so much so
I just want to hold him, protect him against those men sworn to protect and serve.
I don’t want him to become another statistic in this country.
I feel helpless in this moment! 
I just want him safe from all hurt and harm and danger.
He told me he wanted to change his name, as if; it 
Still won’t change who you are, or the color of your beautiful dark skin.
What is he afraid of? I guess the same thing I’m afraid of.
I want the best for him, point blank, period.
But, I'm afraid, one of these trigger happy men will take him from me,
Will rape my family and kill our children;
Because on that day he may have his hands up; or
His pants down or his music too loud.
So you see, I just want the best for him; 
POINT BLANK PERIOD!
I don't want him to feel any pain, 
Nor any harm to come to his way.
He’s growing up, and he won’t be my baby for long; 
I’m so afraid of this world and the harm it may cause.
It doesn't matter how he was raised, his background; 
 Or what community he’s from; still 
He has that beautiful dark skin, so many seem to be afraid of;
I want him safe, YOU HEAR ME? 
 POINT BLANK, PERIOD;
From black and white issues, domestic violent issues,
Women crying rape and defaming his character; 
I want better for him, than this world trying to take from him.
I want him away from the negative influences; 
As I try to teach him, to always watch his back.
To be accountable for his actions and that trust comes at a price, 
And that some friends may try to stab you in the back;
And to never regret who you are or where you’re going.  
To be honest and trustworthy and always be a leader, 
PLEASE MR. OFFICER, PLEASE MR. OFFICER, don’t hurt my baby;
