Darkness falls over the illusion of the woman in the black dress, Her hair short cropped, face dirty, no breath. She steps into the confessional with nothing to confess. I watch her black dress trail along the ground. Her fingers brushing through the flowers with the touch of death. Losing sight of her I look…

MILLIONS OF PAPER, PAPER FOR ME, MILLIONS OF PAPER, PAPER FOR FREE…
Satisfaction is more than paper. Paper checks cashed don’t add up to emotional stability. Problems grow like the stack of holiday wrapping paper left for the recycle bin. On the opposite side of the celebration we find ourselves back in the race to earn more paper to meet next Decembers needs. Time zips by while…
INSTABILITY
Where do American’s turn when censorship hover’s above them, Afraid to say words like boob or suicide, When they are so important to the conversation. How do we wade through events and situations if we cannot express ideas, Even if those ideas may be askew? People are dying, sickened, and darkened, by how the bug…

“A Hero Falls” Once on a hill, there stood a tree, falling leaves surround the sky, as darkness caresses the background. Stars peep through the misty sky while witches fly free. Magic spells cast through shadow Forged in water Cooled in fyre While earth grows bold And air circles them all Giving life to…
A New Journey
Three months ago I set off on a new chapter of life. I’m learning a lot about myself and enjoying the benefits of my move. Doctors have changed, material stuff has been donated to charity, a new roof over my head, enrollment in a new day program, and a lot of company. Depression and anxiety…
Your Passing On
My dear friend, may your night be soft. I hope your passing ensnares the heart, but leaves the memories still. Your expiration has passed, and mine will follow in time. I hope to hear of your exploits, of the beyond, and everything that is highly fashionable. May our love shine up and lift your spirit…
I’m Free To Be
Conjure my thoughts no more for your wicked desire, Let me rest in the bosom of peace, Forget my memories and forsake me, Do not cherish the tragedy that has filled my life, Nothing may justify your presence, Unwelcome being disregard my plea for company, Dwindle not in the forlorn recesses of my minds eye,…
Anger, Depression, Wallow, Forgiveness
Anger over takes us quickly, Turns the mind rabid with desire, Striving to conquer and hold the higher ground, No, Anger does not let one see the tragedy, Nor the blood as one’s words sting like a rapier, It’s not until Anger leaves to let Depression and Wallow take over, That one feels the pain…
Emotional Melody
An emotional hurt is like a song. It lingers in the heart like sweet music floating on the wind. The clashes and melodies drive hard the heart’s reaction. Twisting and flowing it brings emotions through a crescendo then a diminuendo. Till at long last, the song ends, and the baton settles. Then the silence fills…
Lover’s First Kiss
Today I center myself Find myself dancing in the sun Twirling in tall grassy fields Humming as the breeze carries my music away Day dreaming of my lover as I skip Thinking of her warm embrace Fantasizing of our first kiss
