taking time to know her
involves risking to loss her
the full uncertainty of not knowing
unraveled by her decisions to
either commit to you
or those others whom she had you to believe
where someone else, her friend, her bestie
her relative her, mentor her trusted male friend
and you.
Words that make sense together often are
 paired to the appeasement of the

SINGING SOLO

songer.co/songs/d13xwglmtpey1ifgc5pvm4kc

[Verse 1]
Remember meeting on a whim,
First night stars in the dim,
Loving me, forgetting him,
It felt like lyrics from heaven, a sweet hymn.
Those early days, all together,
Made me light as a feather,
No way on earth to deny,
How you made me so high.
Every cloud above knew my name,
Now I’m wrapped in this pain,
Wishing for those days, driving

A Solo Heart

I was always on my own
even when i was deserted by you
for months, your silence haunted me
and a battle continued to rage in my heart
as i set out to seek the answers-
"are you there? are you alive?"
that futile simmer turned gray
which was meant to be full of love
i held meetings in my mind
my heart was

Premium MemberSolo Heart

Am I wrong? 
Always drifting left when the world turns right,  
Like a compass drawn to storms instead of light.  

Am I wrong? 
For trusting the beat of my own internal song,  
Even if silence is the chorus all along.

I move to the rhythm only I hear,  
Not chasing thrill rides

While Oboes Played Strings were Strummed

Welo and Shewa 
and the Opals of the Region
Darkwin Clouds damped the outdoor festivities leading
the onlookers to go indoors. There these to beautiful women
stood modeling there wears there beautiful bodies and jewelry.

She adored the unquietness of the marbling
it was crafted to gain such attention
it was a wonderfully brilliant
it's shine attracted those
who loved such

Solo

Yesterday filled my cup
Tonight I go solo

Today I refill my soul
Just me and myself

Self-care is today’s business
Recharging my spent innards

Tomorrow back into the wild
Next week back to the pile 

Never alone with faith
Just me and my God

I need today to face tomorrow
Future requires loving the present

Solo

Eating a burger. 
Lettuce falls out. 
A week likes to be that way. 
The sky is like a funeral. 
Uncomfortable. 
Gripping the arm rests. 
On this rocket ship. 

I live alone. 

I have a bag of clothes that I don’t wear much. 
That I used to wear sometimes. 
Means a lot to me. 
That old

K(afka) coughs

Goodbye/Hello: poetry 

a Thesis
just another YouTube video
stuck in profound rain
smirking in beguiling glasses
smoking a chamomile cigar
How sweet it is (was?)!

dangerous road conditions
misfortune detected
K(afka) croaks
Where's his (my) Oscar?
Hello friends!
Failure is the only option

Hello/Goodbye: poetry
in the House of Antithesis
Hell needs help
sticking to shticks in the rain
mostly cloudy
Goodnight & good luck

Solo

Dawn’s come again
Bringing rain by me
I see a friend
Now wand’ring free

I see again
A sun so gold
Nothing can mend
This sorrow never sold

Coming once again
A dark so deep
Away cannot send
The darkness of sleep

Premium MemberLured by East Rock

Alex Honnold free soloed up Half Dome
I watched the video from the comfort of my home
I marveled at Catherine Destivelle, when Verdon's edge she trod,
But in New Haven, East Rock lures the unskilled clod.

That rock was made before the continents split
Dinosaurs once munched the plants that grew on top of it
Fast forward time's tape 200

Today the sun has hidden
Its warmth in the foggy mist
A clever way to fool humans 
And creatures that it is going to rain
Humidity rises but still it’s gray
And dry a nonessential creation
The trees leaves are inverted 
Waiting for showers of water 
To no avail the skies are dry
The flowers petals are closed
Begging for an eruption
