A Colonized Mind
In the chambers where thoughts are supposed to roam free, Foreign voices echo, not belonging to me. Words planted like flags on conquered territory, Thoughts that flower in soil not my own. I speak in tongues my ancestors never knew, See through lenses ground by hands I never touched. My dreams are shaped by stories I did not choose, Yet they...

Premium Member Between The Lines - excerpt
Stirred. Blurred. Deferred. A haze of thoughts. In the raw. Unprocessed unpolished. Ethereal feral. Impulses really. I might drown. A sea of ambiguity. Random content in my private universe. At times, I want to scream and be heard. But all in time that can’t be rushed ~ Excerpt from Collaboration with Kirk Tierney, based on my poem 'Writing Is How I Connect'/ Painting by Suzanne Van Bebber AP: Honorable...

A Mother By Heart, A Woman By Mind
A mother by heart, a woman by mind A dual nature she presents She is glad to be a mother But who cares to bother? That she is also a woman She also works at home and at work She wonders her time of peace Perhaps it was because she never felt A bit of rest And a bit of appreciation is what she...

Hey
In case I never write another poem again, here's what I've been thinking I've had a rough time wrestling with the rigid grooves inside my red hard, head - heading nowhere really, getting no place clearly, drearily coming to a head - where spine meets brain and runs its creviced terrain it spent too many hours of my life building. Beautiful though, isn't it? All of it...

A Mind Blowing Miracle
My children this is one miracle testimony Of the many that I've seen God do. As your father I would not share it, If any part of it were not true. We needed to relocate from Denver, I planned for us to drive from there. Took the car to a local mechanic, The price of inspection and Analyzer was fair. I returned for...

Where do thoughts come from, these uninvited guests that silently creep into my mind like shadows? Do they sneak from corners of my soul I dare not visit, dark and unknown places? They sit in my mind like unwanted visitors, asking questions I cannot answer, rearranging the furniture of my peace, Leaving before I notice what's missing, leaving...

Chambers of the Mind
Within the skull, a labyrinth unfolds, Chambers of the mind where story molds. One room, a sunlit gallery of days, Where laughter echoes in a golden haze. Another, shadowed, holds the weight of years, Regrets like portraits blurred by silent tears. A library vast with volumes yet unread, Ideas like whispers softly overhead. A workshop hums where concepts take their form, From fleeting notions...

The storm in my mind
I saw myself upon a lonely road— Night fell, and cold winds stirred. Like a soldier taking the night watch, I wandered the wild in silence. Fair enough, they say: “You must be a man.” But what of it? Do not heroes fall sometimes? Even lions miss their prey. Yet I am heavy-laden By the thoughts that live in my head. Two voices speak to...

Premium Member Spinning Stories
("Lonesome Day Blues", 2025, original encaustic) Spinning Stories Waking or sleeping Continuously we spin believable stories Ideal or terrible Or just simply boring or strange. Obviously It’s what our minds habitually do And we believe them Even when it’s clear we shouldn’t Because they are our stories Spun into a web To hold our attention, hold us up And hold something, A lack at...

Runner
I’ve been runnin' Out of breath, cold sweat, lungs burnin' But these legs, they move but they aint goin’ - no place, no distance can be found between the chased and the chaser cuz they’re one and the same The hunter the hunted, the stalker the stalked, the predator the prey, they’re all the same Maybe someday, I'll be free, but it’s hard to run from...
