Once the light was lit,
           and my eyes could envision

      I craved...

She Is Everything I Need To Know!

She is my life and love and everything I need to know.
She is my strength and health whenever I am sick and slow.
She sticks to my heart all day long: she is my sure shadow.

She is my life and love and everything I need to know.
She is my strength and health whenever I am sick and slow.

One day I woke up sick

For context, I'm almost 22.
I got sick at 18. 
It's not like cancer or M.S., I'm not going to die. 
But there's no explanation for the reason why I got sick. 
Nobody knows, not me,...

Freedom From Pain

As the clear light rises higher
Illuminating fog
Humidity from Friday's rain.
Thicker down in the bog

Ole hound dog is baying a prey
He yelps for hours today
I don't understand how he sees
Even a squirrel at play

Ole hound dog...

A Pilgrim's Pamphlet

Always prepare for the unexpected!

Just as you want your child to finish school
Outline what you want to accomplish too.
Understand there will be many obstacles.
Rocks can mar the best planned roads.
Next, commit to be kind to...

Coercive Control

I'll cuddle the dog before going to sleep
My mind ready for the scrap heap
I'm over tired and overwrought
Numb of body and numb of thought
The running thread, if there is one
Is that I can easily become...

Scan of a Fitful Man

I am slid into the core of the big white tube.
It will reveal all my moving parts
all the flagging and wheezing organics
that reside in the same apartment block,
share the same airducts and plumbing,
but otherwise hang...

Jewelry Love

If you could read my eyes
You could understand
But one thing,
The disease in my heart.
These poems I create daily
Solely for you
And yet  my tongue
Hesitates to utter them,
Have made a big sore
Corroding my heart
Every single
Ascending day.

I...

The Girl With the Paper Wings

The road lies ahead,
Clean, spotless- a smooth path.
The Sun shines from above,
penetrating her glasses,
and into her eyes.
The yellow daffodils spreads around,
like a carpet- undisturbed....
And She? She glides through!

The wind roars in her ears,
Her hair, flying...

The Past

The Past

Our world is beautiful. 
It is old, and it is young. 
The difference between... 
immortality and humanity. 

Giants of enormous size, and strength,
titans mentioned, in the great Book. 
Unicorns and talking donkeys, 
dinosaurs, and...

Faces of Loneliness-Win

Loitering lonely in a crowd in London
Separate, apart, different from the rest
Because of change of culture and taste
Can’t relate or fit in their world within.

In the whirlpools I gyrate in the middle
Things required to be...

The Awakening

She woke up this morning
Her stomach churning
Her sleep filled with scorning
Her nightmares madly burning

She felt like time was in a deep freeze
No longer could she feel her soul
A threatening force had come to seize
And made...

Liquid Poetry

Liquid Poetry


Pure liquid poetry pours out of my head,
Leaving my will and wishes for dead.
Just cannot stop this crazy mind,
From spitting out another rhyme.


Give it a rest!
Brain please hibernate.
Wake up in the morning, if you’re...

Splits of Pain

You know not
O my dear soul
How many fragments I had
Of my whole
When you bade me
Just before the goal
Ages have passed
In the effort to collect
All those fragments
Yet alas! 
The more I gather
The more they scatter
They have...

Identity

I’m so scared of losing myself.
I’ve switched between so many faces
That I don’t know which one is real.
I keep bending to what others need.

The only thing I recognize is this feeling—
Chasing after some kind of...

The Silent Season

Lay apon the cold dark night
Broken branches and scattered stones
Feel the winter  creeping into your bones
Wrapped in decayed leaves 
Scented pine billowing 
And retrieved  
Over my shoulder I see the signs
For the weary...

Breath

The stone. 
Plain, Dusty, Worn. Full of holes and shortcomings. 
Like me. 

A droplet of water. 
	Changing, transforming. 
		Washing away the dirt, grime, muck.
	Leaving behind a metamorphosized canvas of color.

The stone. 
	Altered forever. Carved and...

Flow

How do I fix a twisted pipe
It's outer layers have erroded
It's been mended time after time
Blood flows through it, but
It's stagnant at time, I can feel the leaks
As it loses a beat
It's blockage is over...

There are words beneath

Watering Time

stepping
I skid
to my lips
I sip
on my boat
I skip
from my arms
I drip
I dive through
I zip
my hands grasp
I slip
bucket with leak
won't fill
my story
doesn't hold water
truth that's weak 
leaks out.

water like time,
slips, slides away, can't be held
makes its...

Please Don'T Judge Me

People fed you with enough
Lies already, and now I think they’ve
Enlightened you on my the traits.
Although some of them are true, 
Some just hurt and break me like shards of glass,
Entirely because you’ve not bothered...

May 9th 2011 Daddy

This fake smile is wearing away,
These happy feelings are beginning to stray
“Stay strong,” is all I’ve been told,
But it’s just not that simple after I lost someone 
I rarely got to hold.

This heart of mine...

Stuff Love

I waited for you,
to be here with me.
My comfort. My life.
My everything.

Forever with you,
that is my place.
I am you; you are me.
We are everything.
You live to die.
I die to live.
Lifelessly laying, limp and light.
Your touch,...
