Laying bleeding my insanity
Choking in a pool of my vanity
Blinded by my pride and couldn't see

The End

The world around us is cracking.
I hear the bones of men clacking,
Anxious to start the march onward.
There'll be no olive branch nor word.

From what he said with wise cracking;

Never will receive any of my backing.

he's gone again
off on a crack binge
left her a note
"gone to the lawyer"

Eggs Up Cookies Down

Egg prices are cracking the ceiling,
as, not too well, the birds are feeling,
but you won't see me wear a frown, 
as cupcakes and cookies have gone down.

Overload

Heavily, darkly, cracked by light and
 splintering shadows, cracking,
   scratching out thoughts like
     sandpaper grit,
       popping on the creases of my mind.

Grocery Poem Xvii

cracking like a bat
the summer storm
moves in quick
like ants to aisle nine
where chocolate chips 
litter the floor
& the culprit runs away,
scared of the thunder

Sometimes I Forget His Name

Sometimes
I forget his name
there are cavities 
in love too

dark gaps 
in the cracking heart
where aching
doubt and memories 
pulsate.

cat sharpens her claws on trees

what are those? I ask, my voice cracking a bit.
They are long deep claw marks in my hemlock tree.
Made by a cougar? A mountain lion? a puma?
My cat cannot stop giggling.

Cracking the code

Twirled about by desire and fear,
saw thought apparitions appear,
with the aim to drive us insane,
binding us in attachment’s chain,
blocking God’s light from drawing near.

Killing Empathy

With that pendulum you shatter,
killing empathy with your mood swings;
Slivers remain scattered    
mixed with understanding, 
a pile of rubbish cracking the opulent floor.

I'M So Jealous

~The One That Got Away~


Here I lay weeping

I sing a sad song to sleep 

Fire cracking bones

kicking, screaming, pulling hair

The moment, gone forever

Earthquake

Forceful, unforgiving claws, deep in the earth they dig
Upwards, upwards, breaking more than simply twigs
Cracking crevices, zags, zigs
A roar, a shake, a crick, crig

When all was quiet

she looked up
cracking a little smile
her eyes far into the distance
and thoughts reaching out beyond
like all she needed were the memories
