The Cold Hutch
Living in the sunless cold hutch of till death do us apart, sits a chipping soul.
Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades.
Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home.
“What? Are you even a man? Your mates are out there...”

THE UNKINDNESS OF LIFE TOWARDS HUMANITY
I thought that it will be as expected.
I thought that everything will be alright.
I thought that what people said will make it better.
Why must I encounter the things I forbid!
Why must I encounter the things I never wished for!
I thought that it will indeed be as I wished!
Oh life! Why are you so unkind to

Misguided Power
In the hollows of power’s grip,
where shadows twist the heart’s cry,
there—mights build thrones on backs bent,
where abuse wears the mask of guidance,
control, a cloak woven with the thread of fear.
Power thrives in silence, feeding on the unspoken.
Manipulation, subtle as the serpent’s whisper,
curls around dreams, tightening,
threats drip, venomous, eroding hope,
indifference, a cold moon, shuns the warmth
of

Dying a Little Every Day
Not the matter of morbidity (matter does matter there!)
But of humanity pushing inhumanity on the Other
We die a little; we die more when we loved the "other" before
Avarice, Impatience, Unkindness, Arrogance ... all that ego
Kills word by word, thought by thought; slashes and red gashes echo
(The Potter's love for clay and art; we pretend we

My Most Powerful Pet Hate Is Unkindness
Unkindness is
My most powerful pet hate
Possibly my only one
This includes
meanness, unfairness, rape, murder,
cruelty to animals, impoliteness,
disrespect, theft, swearing and bad manners
Unless I am really in the swearing mood and no one is around.
I hear you laughing, my sworn enemy.
Oops! Was that unkind? Dhramn!
Disrespect, disdain, disregard, and disapproval
all fit under this umbrella.
Whipping children with yardsticks,
flyswatters,

Faerie Wing Blessings
Faerie wing blessings for the believer girl who lives here
In the forest, inside a giant moss-covered hill, surrounded by
delicate mushrooms with dainty stems, and overgrown meat.
Faeries congregate to watch her sleep, through the tiny round
window she clawed out when she first arrived, escaping a mean
man, who was step-fathering her in an unloving way.
Faeries protect her

Unkindness
Even when we think that we are spiritually mature
and inside God's grace,
that is not always the case.
If your own life isn't right, then often the words
that come out of our mouth can be laced with venom.
God help the gentle soul who is the recipient of that
misplaced poison.
We must learn to be aware

Unkindness
You left me with my broken heart unaided
In your thoughts love is overrated
one word to describe you would be hostile
though no one could forget your beautiful smile
And when I get lost in your lovely blue eyes
I forget all of your terrible lies
You could be my angel sent from above
It's a shame you can't possibly feel love
Every
