**The Country Kind of Love** In the beginning, there was a love that blossomed in the heart of the countryside. We would lie in an old hammock, sheltered by the sycamore trees, feeling the cool breeze brush against our skin. Those moments were a glimpse of the joys of country living: a large pitcher...

Side-By-Side
Shagged in the back of a shotgun shack at night by moonlight peeping past curtains of burlap sack such a sore sight surrounded by fields of green willing as she'd been tho' torn she surely wasn't about to be seen with a child out of wedlock born so with a bun in the oven she had her Dad invite he who did the dirty deed and plant...

Ghosts of Havana: A Letter from the Other Side
I speak now, not with breath, But through the bones of history, Through palms that never bore fruit Because your embargo starved the soil. You feared not our weapons— We had none to match your bombs. You feared our ideas, Because they burned too brightly in the dark. Sixty-two winters and summers, My people have walked in chains— Not of iron, But of isolation, hunger, and...

The Other Side of the Pillow
In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom, and silence reigns in my shadowed room, my pillow waits, serene, composed, awaiting my sleepy head to doze. Beneath my head it yields its form, to cradle my crown from day’s storm, and offer a sweet night’s repose, yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows? She seems so sweet, pretends to care, yet every night disturbs...

At The Side
Dark days have come and gone and I am still lingering on the lawn, long painful nights have robbed me of my sleep and sometimes it makes my spirit weep. I have already ran a thousand mile and the shadows moving in the sky understands my innate cry but the moment quickly fades away and...

Sneezing again, Somewhat lost control over me. Again. And now the seasons changed, Summer’s walking out on me. Again. The nicotine chain, Forcing down another twenty. Again. Wheezing refrain, I feel the rain pouring down on me. Yet again. Reminisce again of the roof above, Something that once held over me. But the sky now drops tears, Joyless tears, Again. Love washed over me. Again. Pointlessly...

I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s enough, I just need someone to lift me out of the mud. I just want to be loved, Even for five minutes, Passed over, I’m fine with being lost in the flood. I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s...

a coin, a vinyl recording a mirror, a leaf, a door a picture, a photo of the wall a day, dawn, moon, clouds alive, awake, eyes open, floating ahead, today, tomorrow, a shadow growing old, a diary, a tombstone onward, upward, hands up, face up, bottoms up going forward, with no reverse gear, timely a book open, uncovered, a calendar, a clock facing up,...

you tell me you love me— though only after i give you something. “go to the bathroom” “it’ll be fast” “it’s okay” you say when i tell you i’m scared yet, it’s not okay. i didn’t want love, i wanted to be loved. i wasn’t getting that from you, yet this still made me feel wanted. like someone finally wanted me. wanted us. in reality i was...

Every child knows the moon has a face that looks down kindly on the human race. But can anyone ever calm the screams of the frightened child who constantly dreams of the demon face that's never shewn on the dark side of that self-same moon?...

THE CHOICE
THE CHOICE here I arrived, breath away boldly stepped out of a Blue Train, not waiting for fellow passengers with tedious conversations about Hemingway, Trump or Berlin not that these were served on gilded plate, croissant hot excitement dissolved into foreboding, pain shattered into peace ~ bliss on cards an endless journey had end after...
