Welted Poems

The Salted Knee

...She felt the tepid skin of her thigh against her face
a teardrop straddling from her cheek
looking for hope in a dream
that always ended
as his slaps left
her welted skin...

Assurity After Storms

...Sea of searching tore hope without explanation 
Crucified crests cascaded, crazed static fall crashing
Thrown spontaneous needs, unclean situations 
Wayward waltz of flotsam incongruity, faith att...

Euphoria of a Rainbow

...Euphoria exploiting like sunshine
A rainbow starts to occur
Colors happily emerging 
Mist soon to expose thyself from a fierce-looking nimbostratus
Welted roses wait patiently for more than a dri...

Desire

...Crooked teeth love rings
Bloody nose offerings
Carpet burns shivering
My little bruised thing

You are mine

Eye vessels busted
Hidden skin welted
Your pulled hair twisted
Burning love cyst...

The Ropes

...I'm a beautiful mess in a dress or some sweats
I confess life is hectic right now and I'm stressed
Wont forget that I'm blessed but it's hard to remember. When I'm stayin at the shelter
With my so...

The Bond

...For a moment, I thought
that we were sisters.
I always see you at family functions.
We share the same skin.  Your voice,
your eyes are the same as mine.
Your shoulders are broad and sturdy.

If I Can

...If I can raise a new sun at dawn in dark horizon
I'll color shadows of your broken heart crimson.

If l can become the unfurling petals of flower
I'll bloom as smile in your welted face of despai...

Tarnished Reflections

...The razor strap always welted my skin
And quickly crippled my soul as a child
Balled flesh of a hand to my head a sin
The angry pain over time I have exiled
No tears fall now from my time of beat...

Weather Forecast

...The New Year has come wafting on the wings of winter
The high latitudinal areas of the northern hemisphere
Would be in the grip of frequent snowstorms severe
Throwing life in desolate isolation an...

Oppressed People

...Their bodies stumble
 through the dark,
No mist of air to keep them high...
No circling the beaten ground  tonight. 
Voices  won’t sing, 
they will not feed 
on single bough of welted tree

Inked In Red Upon My Blue

...Your hands extended from you wrists.....the clench of them around my arms

in welted need... never anger

has a scent that will never fade 
leaves a beauty mark far more indelible than any tatto...

Concertina: Sonnet For Yom Hashoah

...Tonight, I miss God, though I doubt he IS;
All sense of Providence stripped away
Like my wife’s gray smock last time I saw her
Walking naked and welted to showers
From whence the sole cleansing i...

Into the Blue

...Into the Blue


Pain faded into the blue
purplish clots
pooling beneath welted skin

interstitial fluids coalescing,
coagulating, collecting
swallowed tears.

Day had broken the grasp

Just Another Valentines Day

...Half eaten box of chocolates
A card never read
Welted roses
Burnt toast left from breakfast in bed
Eating a rubber steak
With a no label wine
Such a lovely holiday
To be a valentine
Going thr...

Untouched

...A welted flower picked and tossed aside unnoticed and to the earth it soaks in.

My traces and finger prints left behind A name spoken so delicate, A replay of broken words said twice and over agai...
