You were walking along a path
that led through
enchanted lands of illusions.
You have traversed subsequent ways
to reach the beginning of
your earthly existence.
The right to pain helps you
discover the hills behind which
no sky hides.
Your tears are too salty
to quench your thirst.
Your sadness is too perfect to reveal
the other side of light.
Kiss me right in the center of
my heart, give me a pen
and a clean piece of paper
so that I can write the introduction
to my plagiarized...

"Today, we cried, but maybe they will sing for us, tomorrow. Toy soldiers died, in hopes of ending worldly sorrow. Should I let go or follow, as I am so consumed by this, realistic child's play? It seems, my tricycle is stuck in this sandbox, until the end of this birth day. And as I push away from grains of sand so stained with blood and covered up by I-owe-yous, I find clues through labyrinth of views that lead me to plateau of higher truth. I live to love and die to...

She sits.
She ponders.
She makes herself busy.
Spirit not fed.
She works.
She interacts.
She clocks out.
“Man it’s time for bed.”
Dazed when I don’t know my purpose.
Eyes wide open,
I know I’m not dead.
But instead, she pretends it’s all okay,
Choking back the dread.
Spirit tucked behind the light.
Light not so bright.
Light not so bright.
Light not so bright.
Talk about themselves, trying to play it safe.
Why are they staring at my face?
Why are they talking to my face?
Who put you in...

A jagged edge, a tortured soul
Darkness clouds, no thought control
None so bleak, as man alone
A roseless thorn, a silent tone ..read more

They got upset with me again...
It's still ringing in my ears.
I feel anxious. I can't breathe.
No energy. No movement.
I don't want to do anything.
I don't want to get hurt again.
I don't have a choice...
It is my duty to support.
To be the best I can be.
To not be a burden or liability.
To do what must be done.
To not let myself interfere.
No opinions. No complaints.
No demands. No exceptions.
That's the way it oughta be.
But should it be?
Should it always feel this heavy?
On my...

Such Dreams
Fitzgerald’s dreams
Under the influence of Kerouac’s drinks,
Here I am
With a pen in my hand
While the night is still keen.

Howdy, girl!
You know the masters,
The masters of literature,
And people still think
Your neck is red
And pure.
You devour poems
Like a drunk genius,
And you howl…
From your pick-up truck.
You drink cola in the morning,
Cherry pies in the afternoon
And bourbon at night.
Let me be by your sight,
My world is light…
When I’m by your side.
At 1.a.m. you write like a maniac,
You write like a genius,
So outragedly writing in your room
That them people think
You’re cooking up bad things.
So...

Profane verses
Of poetry
Coming outta her mouth
Like oxygen and love.

Softly planted doe prints
Excite the smooth blanket of snow.
Light powder
Patterned
With nervous starts and fearful leaps
ears twitching to hear better
Non-symmetrical pawprints
In the snow.
Scattered hunters,
Mad dogs
Chasing her down.
Curled nearby under cover
Little fawn awaits comfort.
Small hopes.
Time waits.
Incessant snow melts on the
Fawns white spots ..read more

The Greatest Distance
A million miles
Might separate us
A distance
that can be
Overcome
A phone call
Puts you
Right next to me
I miss our talks
A few short words
Would brighten
My whole week
But you have moved on
A greater gap between
One that cannot be
Overcome
No matter how hard
I try
Even though it's a mere
Six feet ..read more
