The True Mother
“The True Mother”

What part of a heart
in another could one trust
when betrayal comes
like a silver bullet, words and deeds
sharp piercing to burrow 
bleed out Life’s dreams 
rust crumbles to dust

Virulent apathy spreads 
Betrayal’s destruction

Double binds 
like double negatives,
not not,
who's notnot there?
neither here nor there
yet both here and there, potentially
where past and future
meet here and now.

of identity
wears two faces,
one composed of past incarnate win/lose spaces,

Eighteen Years Too Late: Echoes of Regrets
In the tapestry of time, a story is spun,
Of hearts entwined beneath the sun.
It began in the halls of youth's embrace,
Where two souls met, face to face.

In the halls of Primary, their eyes did meet,
A...

Where Are You

She can't be gone,

She fought like hell to be where she is, to belong...

She wasn't lying when she said denial...

The walls of my room no longer speak to me,
Since I stopped painting them with my blood.
Once, they were alive with the pulse of my essence,
Each stroke a testament to the silent screams within,
A canvas...

Christmas Night
Snow storm on Christmas Eve.
Santa’s sleigh Church Services cancelled.
Stranded sitting out the storm with family.
Christmas story read lots of presents under the tree.
Ripped open the gifts.
Young ones fell in love with new gifts.
Spouse’s sipped coffee...

Dialing In
That engaging voice rings out through the dark
Percolating between bands on the air
Soaring antennas pulse his festive spark
To share his diversion of solitaire

Nestled within promotional urges
Hidden behind that bombardment of sound
Charisma propels his karmic surges
Lifting...

The day is overcast and gray.
My mood, sadly the same.
Recent news colors the day,
adding to the political game.

A voice of the past,
making his agenda known.
Past and present at long last,
together, accepting it as their own.

Memories and images deep in my soul,
They dwell there silently, fond imagines that never grow old.

How she longs to see his face and to be his little...

Premium Member Memories Lost Within a Frozen Mist
It was a very balmy midsummer night
shadows danced with me under starlight
I heard a nightingale cry out for its mate
in that moment joy fled. I became sedate

My mind swirled with thoughts concealed
with something I no...

I waited for you with bated breath 
In hopes that once again 
We could share that oneness 
we knew when we were friends. 
But has time and distance erased 
The closeness we once knew? 
Because...

Sail On
the wharf was teeming
black and white,
the gulls were keening
in their flight
  round and round

the old man scowled
his heavy brow
  forty years before the mast
and now today would be his last

They say that you can never go home,
No matter how long you did roam.
There’s no way things will be the same,
Having been gone so long, you must take the blame.

Blacker than dusk I cannot see

My spirit drawn towards a glistening light

The Three
I’ve suffered, myself
By the voices of three 
All of them in my head
And all of them, me.

The first voice is the past
Reminding me of regrets
The whiskey helps
But I just can’t forget

The second voice?

Photographs and Memories
A familiar voice sharing the past,
Remembering a place that didn’t last.

Sifting through ashes of another life,
Searching for beauty amongst the strife. 

Anguish surrounds me, a constant storm,
Cold and darkness, wanting to be warm.

Deprived of love,...
