Volcabulary of the Dead

i’m cooking these words on the stove,  
hoping they won’t burn—  
but they burst into flames,  
fierce with laser focus,  
only to be choked on  
when spoon-fed,  
and regurgitated  
when swallowed.  

served like fast food—  
empty calories filling the gaps  
meant to comfort,  
to

Verbal Saint-Gaudens

It only takes one
as words rise together
It only takes one
new phrases release

It only takes one
to carve out a memory
It only takes one
— your words in relief

Writing Poetry

Writing poetry is never easy.
Starting has always been hard.
Ideas rarely flow smoothly
Distractions leave the paper marred.

Thoughts confuse the writing
And never let me think.
Contradictions result from this
And drive me to the brink.

Meter and tone must be perfectly right
And rhyme must be even better.
“Proper Form” should be used,
On down to every letter.

The most difficult part of all
As

Listen to the Wind

I listen to the wind as it dries my tears 
     because its flowing current is wiser than all my years.
                              

Meeting somewhere in the middle

face to face worlds apart
words go quiet when sad eyes meet
it's hearts' turn to speak

My Longing Heart

Mesmerized by you 
Your sway is okay all the way, I’m left to pray 
I appreciate you too
Your day is slay and now, you want me away…
There’s a distance between
You and I in the evergreen 

My longing heart can’t take any more of this predicament 
My longing heart can’t shake off the silly and scary

LISTEN to the Wind

"LISTEN to the Wind as it sparks your imagination giving life to the words you write." By Poet
 
LISTEN to the wind as it softy blows,
so soft it can barely be felt as I write.
As I find gentle words for my pen to write with,
words filled with love and peace for my reader.

LISTEN to the

Feel your Feelings

Allow yourself to go
beyond numbing disappointment
and put words to how you feel

Stop brushing everything aside like nothing matters
Bring your emotions out in daylight
Don’t hide and gloss them over ~ analyze them

Do away with self censorship
Dig deeper ~ know you’re entitled 
to feelings and to express them

No longer silence the inner child
who gets offended and wants

Poetic Ballet

As if by magic the words appear
like gentle whispers that I hear
they blend together like perfect paint
sometimes whispering ever so faint.

With each brush stroke or tip of pen
the magic flows like peaceful Zen
ink pirouettes upon my page
like a Prima ballerina upon her stage.

Stanzas created as words come to play
forming together like poetic ballet
sometimes moving with

When did his words become mine?

"I'm a good person."
HA! 


"I'm strong because I'm surviving."
Or you're weak and complacent... But ok girl... sure. 


"It isn't my fault this happened."
Sorry. . . Did someone else say yes for you when he proposed?


"I am not enabling him anymore. I am not a bad woman."
Jesus Christ... You STAYED with him. HIM! Do you think

Prostitutes and Lovers

I. Prostitutes 
Poets words are prostitutes,
Used for any writer’s pleasure,
‘Love’ and ‘death,’ ‘light’ and ‘dark,’
Among my worst offenders.

Unlike a painting’s virgin virtue,
With shapes like never seen before,
In colours just that very shade,
Unique in each of form.

Love and death are my whores too,
Whose rates are precious pain,
Never free the words we use,
Piercing time and time again.

ponder your own words

Good advice! I liked it, but, some need it more than others, in my view.
