downy feathers caught in breeze ~

Motionless I stand

Silently I wait

Passionless I watch

Master of your fate

Helplessly you run

Hopelessly you fight

I take you by day

And take you by night...

Here the loss:
Those visions that were fragments
Then, are sparkling now; 
And these same streets
I criss-crossed as a child
Helplessly filled with ghosts....

An injured bird falls
to depths of a giant tree
birdie watches helplessly.

Man rushes to help
picks up bird with folded knees,
both of his arms are missing.

Loved you selflessly,
Loved you unconditionally,
Loved you endlessly,
Loved you sincerely,
Loved you so deeply,
Loved you indefinitely,
Loved you helplessly,
Oh how madly, 
I loved you!...

Giddy as a schoolgirl picking lipstick,
giggling helplessly and hopelessly in love
as joyously she taunts him with her towel, 
blissfully aware that this is Sunday,
and it's just the two of them!...

I question my own existence
Weaned from the breast milk 
of doubt.
Blinded by the sunshine
of my insecurities, I stumble
Helplessly,
I ask for proof
A universal sign of my significance
Am I real?...

Next to me
Is a boy who left her helplessly
In a situation blessed by He
On a lonely road to pregnancy
And a child left in infancy
Who will cry longingly just to be
Loved by the boy you see
Next to me...

My man 
with the forbidden fruit in his hand. 
My beautiful hunter....
as I am your willing prey. 
My murderous lover...
I'm helplessly locked 
to your kiss of death. 
How you entangle me in your web.....

broken branches 
of a tree 
fuzzy faces 
unclear to me

 painfully imprints
genetically strand
imprint illusions 
alone being banned 

Helplessly hoping 
 a final breath 
timorously taunting 
 wishing for death...

I have the pills,
I have the knife,
and I have the gun in my hand,
I can't shoot,
I can't cut,
and my throat's to dry to swallow,
my heart,
won't stop beating,
I'm still living,
helplessly alive,
somebody take this life....

They who do not study history
are doomed to repeat it repeatedly.
I do study history and I'm doomed to helplessly,
stand by and watch history get repeated by so many so blindly.
All in all, it's definitely a no win situation for me....

Cut me cut me! Oh scalpel of thy surgeon,
Expose my inner organs to the world to see,
As I lay on the operating table helplessly,
My life now lies in the hands of those standing over me,
I live if they did right and I die if they don’t....

Jan 9 2023 poem 

Heavy 
My body 
Is bricks 
My breath 
Shallow 
I sink 
Deeper
Too Heavy 
For My legs
To hold Me
Thoughts 
Like a
Weighted blanket 
Trapped and 
Tingling
Too Heavy
Helplessly 
Sinking

bottleneck
gridlock
no go
five miles to the rest stops
tense grumbling

vultures are gathering
there are people out of their cars
screaming incoherently
like zombies

inside an in-car video game
avatars turn helplessly
in small jerky circles...

I look to the sky,
sometimes 
I wonder why,
Why? I have to cry.
I wonder why
some people have to lie,
To break a heart, 
then deny love's gone by,
Why?  to make another 
begin to helplessly sigh!
or to just say good-bye.
