When Leadership Forgot Her NameLeadership once stood tall,
but somewhere along the corridor,
she traded her spine for shadows.
She no longer knocked on doors—
she simply erased names from the walls.
Silence became her secretary,
whispering commands into group chats,
tapping shoulders not with words,
but with the cold breath of removal.
Silence, that quiet tyrant,
sat beside me and said nothing,
as my seat was given away.
Respect—
oh, Respect...

In the Arms of DarknessNight wraps me softly in her arms,
Whispering secrets, weaving charms.
She cradles echoes in my chest,
A quiet breath, a gentle rest.
Her cloak conceals my hidden scars,
Each one a story traced by stars.
She treads with footsteps calm and slow,
Through empty halls where shadows grow.
By day, she hides behind the sun,
But when the world is overrun,
She dons my...

Springs CradleEarth yawns as she
cradles Nature,
swaying gently
her limbs in quiet search
of Hope,
tilting in smothered rays
she sighs, listening to the
breaths of loves breeze,
without voice she hums
her melodies, as lullabies
gently rock her world back
to sleep,
smiling at her reflection
In your eyes.

someone smashed me into the mud
my whisps flew off and I turned into a butterfly
I soared above a rose bush, a bridge and an oak tree
where I heard squirrels giggling...

Lovelove has no conditions
no contract
no absolutes
no rules or regulations
love is automatic
she cannot be thwarted or obliterated
you cannot talk her out of herself
love demands freedom
she loves who she loves
she owes no one an explanation
or an apology
love is a soul feeling
she cannot help herself

JealousyJealousy plunked down in one giant splat
Angry with blue, green, red and yellow
Especially yellow who thought she was all that
Jealousy was enraged to her toes
Her hatred easily seen
Yellow had no idea

mother cereal boxI have to constantly outguess, outrun and outfox
Because I am their mother said my crunchy cereal box
This mystified me; I was blank, wordless at best
I read her advertisements again, thinking this was a test....

selfishness Looked out for HerselfSelfishness looked out for herself
She was thrilled to do what she wanted
When she wanted
In the way she wanted
Without censorship, suggestions or having to please anyone else
Selfishness did not buy into funerals, graduations or weddings
She spent no time with her family.
She did not care to make a friend.
She never felt lonely or sad.
She loved her alone...

Awaken SpringSpring did not want to appear
as winter kept her nice and warm
covered by his coat of white
it was to comfortable to wake up
it meant work for her
she had gotten to comfortable
the trees began to bud slowly
upset with spring unwillingness
the flower bulbs peeked out
wondering what was keeping spring
the sun shone brightly to wake her
so slowly...

my animated nose burgerHave you ever met an animated nose burger?
Wait. She might spell herself as bugger.
Anyway, I have one.
She wears a diamond tiara and puts on airs.
She makes me call her “your majesty”.
I had to buy her a furry robe.
It makes me sneeze, but she cares not.
She refuses to let me dig her out.
I am terrified of...

POMPEIII look at my work. I look down on the valley.
I'm proud of its richness, of its green fertile fields,
And each time I do, I can count up the tally.
My sacrificial top's loss produces great yield.
There's beauty in the valley, in its farms and trees.
Morning fog gives it a mythical seduction.
Yet though I remember how...

Summer and SpringSublime summer is arriving,
The darling daisies are gossiping
Laying on the sill of the silly window,
The sun is complimenting them excessively,
The blush is lustrous and lurking.
Summer is shimmering on its way,
Spring is packing her suitcase,
Ready to leave,
She doesn't get along with her sister,
Summer's soar sight
Can make Spring blind.
Spring loves her eyes
So she's absolutely...

Hey there dope fiends,
It’s me, your addiction. The thing you can’t
live without. Your job has tied you to me.
The out of town family would think
something was all wrong if you didn’t stroke
me on a daily. My superficial voice lets them
know in no uncertain terms that you’re alive.
But they really don’t go past...
