WaterlilyBetrayal
Like a phoenix
Except
I’m rising from the water
Taking flame when I touch air
Redemption
Like a hero
Except
I’m no better
Than the enemy now
Fire
In my eyes
Except
The flames of my hatred
Will last for eternity
Loathing
Can change you
Except
I don’t feel changed
I feel free
Betrayal
Can only get you so far
Redemption
Will only give you so much
Fire
Can only...

Ordinary days Beautiful recirculation of my lifeWakey, wakey!
The buzz from my advanced THRITY THREE TEN seem to yell
Opened windows slapped aging mango leaves on my face
Monday already? Morning already?
Granny’s creaking chair again!
Savoring with folks of mine the bland toast with juicy old gossip, mom’s warm smile
Welcomed into my everyday worn out NIKE with pain
Unending miles, but starts with a mile.
The...

ingThe sun is burning
Population growing
Poverty pulsing
Rich repeating
Man-beating
One meeting
Fleeting
Ding.
Phone alerts ringing
The chorus is singing
Fear is clawing
Up our throats, feasting
Least of all, dying
The moon is rising
While the Earth is spinning
Heads are pounding
Bosses are hounding
No more housing
Delousing
Ping.
The microwave meal is ready for eating
Time for feeding
Has your skin been shedding?
How’s the fat shredding?
Oh you’re still driving?
No that’s not...

So, and so, or soSo creeped out by my own ideas,
So I am so bad as I seemed, because
So and so said so, and
So and so sees it, and I'm
So scared to be what I'm scared of, what
So and so is said to be, what is
So so bad, so bad as it seems, she's
So creeped out said so and...

Cycling O'er and O'erThe kind ones, the mean ones,
the big ones, the lean ones-
Some try, some don't,
and some cry, but some don't.
Actions and reactions,
what are they but events,
cycling o'er and o'er?
We laugh, we cry,
we live, we die;
cycling o'er and o'er.
The poor ones, the rich ones,
the happy ones, the sad ones,
"Why does money even matter?"
Cycling o'er and o'er.
History repeats,...

Violence, the screamed threats as she cries.
I try not to panic.

Violence, is his word true beyond a doubt?
Violence, he tells us that he’s sorry.
I try to believe it.

An Up for Each DownSometimes I only feel sad
Sometimes I can just cry
Sometimes I lose all hope
Sometimes I am all alone
And sometimes I smile wide
Life certainly has its downs
Sometimes I drown above water
But there’s also a future
There’s friends to be made

Not ReallyI could write five million words about you
And all of them would be true
But none of it would be enough
Not really.
I could write five million poems about you
Sonnets, limericks, haikus
But none of it would be enough
Not really.
I could draw five million pictures about you
And with every single kind of color, too
But none of it would...

I used to PrayIn the quiet of the night
When the sun decides to save its light for someone worthy
When the stars twinkle in its wake
When the moon chases after her lover
I used to pray
But not with the whispered devotion of a Sister
No my prayers stirred something ugly in me
Something that festered slowly
And ripped
Something raw and heavy from...

Filling CavernsCaverns of patterns,
Awaiting your return,
A cliff at every turn,
For you to fall and burn,
Slipping into your pattern.
It repeats until you discern,
There's a reason for concern,
Earning a new lesson,
Life is in constant progression.
Filling the cavern again,
With every little win,
Catching the pattern in motion,
Slowly filling through devotion,
Allowing a new path to open.
One that you have chosen,
A choice...

The Repetition of Time
(A lone voice whispers)
Loss covers many different paradigms.
From relationships, family, and friends, but one pivotal thought sometimes gets forgotten in grief.
When someone suddenly has died.
The love you both once shared, will live forever.
Just hidden in a Repetition of Time, as you suddenly remember this 17 syllable drop of bliss.
In five, seven, five.
As those...

DisciplineDiscipline is doing what you hate like you love it
Asking for more when you are past the point of quit
The dying of an old spirit to let a new one in
Forcing progression with a bittersweet grin
Just when it seems completely futile
When all you can feel seems abysmal
That is autophagy taking over
Out will come thyself leaner...
