Forget the Rest - May 29, 2011
Love the world,
Forget the terror.
Love the sinner,
Not the sin.
Love the efforts,
Forget about the pain.
Why is life so difficult?
We hate the lies,
They hypnotize.
We live and learn,
But we always scorn the lovely little person here.
We can't be angels with broken wings,
Who can't rejoice and...

The joy of my being - May 24, 2011
The sun has taken the morning sky, the cold wind still wandering, ticking my hair and playing around, like flirting with my feelings. The night's not yet wanting to go, the moon's still peeping through, the window that's closing. A sweet smell hangs around, the trees so green its hurting! Watching...

Eyes - May 13, 2011
It started out a year ago
When I look into the past
Everything changes
I should've known it wouldn't last
I guess I saw it coming
Tears had stained my face
But you gotta know what you missed out on
Because now you're seen as a disgrace
And if you look into my eyes
All you'll see is
The truth I'd...

I am Fire You are War - May 10, 2011
We both were made to choke off what we thrive off
But if people were paper I’d burn like you-you
flame in the human race that flickers here!-there!
I need you, you need me more
In the infinite bombshells and exploding dust,
Where I was born soldier,
you are a general.
Like the sky hath poured out...

Reflection - May 6, 2011
The pace of on my own
is a quieting and pleasant feeling.
When I feel free of nagging bonds
when the world melts away to only me
and my writing abandon
I feel a connection and link
so strong
that I feel we are one and the same.
I am writing.
Writing is me.
We are both each other.
Both mysterious,...

Because you aren’t my existence - May 6, 2011
I love you less than more of the rest,
I don’t listen to your talk, your heart, your lioness stride,
…the individual rocks that make you up,
or pay attention to your honey bee’s eyes
I don’t cup you in my hand like cool water
because you don’t refresh me, ernestly
you paralyze me, you bother...

Who Will Now Pay The Electicity Bills........ - April 28, 2011
She walks through the dark road, worn and torn, staring at the road blankly.
Today, she got her final payment. Payment of her enitre life's work.
Work she did on bringing up her children.
She fought the city, when she was widowed so that her two liitle sons would make her proud.
She toiled hard,...

I Wish I Were A Monkey - April 27, 2011
I wish I were a monkey,
They do have so much fun!
They're happy, hip and funky,
and tell horrendous puns.
They play all day, the keepers say;
No fees! No pay! That seems okay!
I wish I were a monkey!
I wish I were a monkey,
They do have so much fun!
They're getting fat and chunky,
on...

April 24, 2011
I stumble down the trail
tripping over the boulders
and getting tangled throughout the thorns
The mystery is not how I got here, but what is the secert to get back
My body aches with pain due to the foolish choices I've made
My heart knows no peace as anxiety rules my life
I look out into the...

A Voyage of Discovery - April 23, 2011
A hijacked identity missing from a lost soul
What is the process to reclaim this absent piece or would I even know it in the quiet tenderness
My world reduces me to him or her
Though I struggle to know this darkened heart in a delicate and intimate way
Did he come to steal this identity or did I...
