Snow In April
It is a pitiful display
To belong where you don’t belong
Wanting to rule a former day
A worn out tune of a love song
No longer loved by the crowd

Tumultuous ArchivedBlack and blue memories turn to sunset;
All of the craziness that we’ve survived,
it’s like I’ve been branded by our secret;

My Mom that Didn't Have to BeA mother’s role is not an easy one,
A taxing undertaking, to be sure;

With words of anger and a...

Color Guard GeniusJaunting down a garnet brick road
I admire the diamond treetops
glistening as if it just snowed;
Sky’s alive with sparkles and pops;
Leftovers of silent fireworks
fall to the ground in absurd drops;
Color guard genius in those quirks;
You...

Mountain’s Voice
Still as the moonless night, settling on the hills
reflecting dawn’s gentle light, softly flowing
rustling sighs, music bursting forth, happy thrills
beneath rushing winds, gentling dreams, mind-blowing
breath of autumn paints the skies in healing hues
perfect leaves falling...

the screen upon which life plays
cognised in staid stillness slow” - Unseeking Seeker

Springtime Reveries
Dew glistens, whimsical, over gentle dawn
hues fade beyond the background of sparkly nights

Freckled FinishTripped the electricity in the forest,
tumbled to a faceplate on the ground;
The shock raised the pulse in my wrist;
A storybook vision may confound,
star-crossed sits doomed to diminish;
Ground yourself in nature’s mound;
Let yourself revive and replenish,
kiss...

Just One HitLost inside of a sexy playlist,
made out with a one hit wonder boy;
Vintage crooning with a virgin twist;
Record for an intimate convoy,
the first track behind a one night stand;
I relented and became your toy;
Undercover art...

GIFT OF RECOVERYGIFT OF RECOVERY
When it all appears lost and gone
Hopes and dreams do not survive

General AdmissionTough enough to not look for a fight,
no choice but to watch as it rages;
A candle burns on a starless night;
Hit only if someone engages,

They stay away from well lit stages;
Lingering...

Bone BeachSarcophagus emptied onto white sand.
Knucklebones tossed, like dice, with soul case smarts.
Where she’d end up, this burial unplanned.
Like grinding down teeth, time reclaims cast parts.
Connections to each bone release, unhinge.
Frightful corpse formerly the queen of...

for those who as yet dwell in the dark
but if they wish, they too can be healed
