ReUnion

stepping softly

you trod the path

to my front door

never rang the bell

played favourite songs

over and over until

senses on overload

surrounded by romance

you kissed me quick

heart pumped electric

singing over barriers

erected years ago

against pain and hurt

welcomed as veins

formed highways

joined the chorus

I’m losing my mind.

Don’t you understand?

I’m desperately reaching out for your hand.

Don’t leave me hanging, slipping, falling…

down into the endless abyss of darkness,

Never destined to land.

You’ve saved me once before,

But this time there are no safety ropes.

I’m free-falling, plummeting, going down…

My only hope Is for you to save me now.

I’m losing my ...

He had lips like a

lips that made my

As his eyes

But his words

Life isn't what we

Because life can be

filled with hurt, pain,

sickness, death, lying,

cheating and

bamboozled with

that only seems to

It's strange how

you for so long now

Because in your

anything besides

loving you 
 

But I've paid my

{Once}

Once I held his love

and affections so

deeply embedded

into my heart so it

would never apart 

Until the day my brown

the heart of perfection

left my side when an

horrible accident

happened that's when

my heart was ripped

straight out of my chest

(His Love) 

His love had grabbed

to fall in love with

this man because

faster and faster

My love, I need you.

Here I am falling in love with the beauty of the world.

Waiting for you, as if it were the end of the world.

I do not mind the wait,

I have the time.

But I have to be honest,

I need you.

I've felt you before,

and that's fine

Someday I'll see you,

and I'll know.

And even if you do not know, it's fine.

I have love to give and loves will ...

I found a picture of you in my arms,

Sleeping securely, safe from harm,

As you knew it, anyway.

Your trust for me was complete,

You wanted for nothing

And thought of my love only

As often as a bird thinks of sky.

You didn’t yet know people

Can go away or even die.

I know how things changed,

But I can’t bear to think of it.

I picture you now, with your love

Not exactly dressed for the kill-

Hell, she can’t even walk

In a straight line-

But she’ll still be able to find her way

To you.

In these heels,

In those thoughts,

She dances with wine bottles

While headphones play

Some song

That had nothing to do with you.

Bare feet circle bare floors;

Bare hands hang onto

Bare walls-

Or the toilet seat.

She feels poet...

At an unprogrammed Quaker meeting

The spirit moved someone

To remind us to find our Joy.

After, a friend said she would

Find joy in a nice boy toy.

Or maybe it was a toy boy.

She said one is a boy

You’d like as a toy

And the other is something

A boy would like to play with.

We giggled at that,

And I was reminded of a joke

About a party where everyone

Why won’t you write me…
Lay me down on paper…
Like your time on a string…?

Don’t speak of me…
Just, lay me down…
Not for glory, or money…
But just to help me be…

Let me be your song…
Your poem…
Let me be your love…

Let every word be your sword…
Every verse your dagger…

Bakers and coffee shops

Line the streets,

And I find myself

Nestling inside a few

To find a comfort

Only coffee beans and bacon

Can provide.

Warming cold hands

From frost;

Warming strangers to the

Idea of companionship

And togetherness.

Wholeness.

Mugs and teaspoons

Hold a special place

In my heart;

Teapots and saucers have

A special kind of solac...

Roadside Shop

Two fans enthusiastically spin amongst

a pile of rubbish waiting for pick up,

roadside.

Through wind and rain, even thunder,

“Look at me!” but nothing moves.

Clever stack.

Unlike No 2’s plant pots. Scattered

colourful rattles voicing the gusts.

Messy!

Drive-bys;  inspection opportunists.

The answers you gave,
the truth you didn't speak,
were the things I wanted to hear.

We still have our habits,
we still live our old lives,
hiding the things that shouldn't be seen.

What do we get if our feelings hide in secrecy,
what do we do when the things we love aren't real...

Somehow I love you,
I don't know why,
I need you.

{Fear} 

The morning dew is

on my shoes the birds

are chirping and singing

their tunes as the

morning sun brightens

up the sky with warm

crisper air that made

you take a deep breath

And

Take care too, Friend.

There are times I want

Thing is,

there's so little sun

walking about in the

fresh air seems like a

My white and tan face fades, 

hiding inside of this grayish black smoke. 

I knew they'd use it against us, 

dammit; the tear gas is filling the blue skies around us and as the rub bullets flies past our heads. 

I'm grown I make my own decisions to fight this fight.

Lady Pee

Born just like any other girl, life hardly started

when something happened.

It was the drug’s fault, some type of reaction stopped her

just after she started.

Try to imagine how she went through life

not being able to do what we all can do.

To talk to her computer.

By pure willpower and by logic she managed.

Gigs came along and brought new meaning,

For again i fall
To his charming call
A trap it may be
Its shine captures me

My heart is eaten out
My feelings headed south
Yet my affection is still his
My torture is his bliss

In his web, i lay
There came a girl one day
Ignorant of the danger
Behind the charms that linger

I could not shout
I could not call out
A fate that echos mine
A victim, next in line

‘I used to enjoy knitting…’

clacking as they struck against each

other plunging between stitches, metal

spearing and separating through soft wool.

Fingers swayed in a romantic dance above

the work to create a loop around its prey.

The whole hand grasps and manipulates,

Oh how they torment me

Feel like I'm flying in a biplane

Made of rags and wood and wire

Trying to dodge weapons that will kill me

Neo Soviet Satan 2 ICBMs

Solid state lasers

Exotic alloy rail guns

All this and more aims for me

Corrupt

The old woman says the system only works for certain people

She's right for the system really fricking sucks

In the worst possible damn way

Some people waltz right on in there

And get what they want with no worries

Like thieves in broad daylight

Not giving a hoot about being caught

While those on the list are stuck in limbo

Caught up in a system that doesn't work

Satire

Why do I care for the dead more than the living?

Is it because the living are moody

Can double cross me

Always lie to me

Ruin my day in a thousand ways

Make unreasonable demands of me

Want all my time for their demands

And so much fricking more

I made the right choice

Prioritize the dead

And satirize the living

Who will all be dead in 100 years

This is the audio/video of my reading of the poem

"Before you..."  https://youtu.be/JSnBORlfTsk

Before you, I slept in

a bed without creases.

Only pulled up sheets

to straighten - smooth,

no effort at all!  Ready

for the next dreamtime.

Now, I love my wrinkles...

numbers do not the soul touch
or rouse from depths of reverie
whose shallow sepulchral beauty
surface deep revelations aplenty
plead with matrimonial vows
parchment scribbles & ceremonies
do not a marriage make and
neither will ice cream make us
any colder after calories kick in
poetry’s soul may ride its form
but it transcends empirical parts
its triumph: Pinocchio shedding his strings

Its okay if you don't want to fall again

Love was hurtful

So you said again

Maybe its true

I feel your pain

How will I know

When I always abstain

Make me experience love

My heart cries

My soul dies

Alone I have been

Looking like a Wanderer

Not like a Slumberer

Searching for the perfect heart

Time for Ghosts and Goblins and fear!

Look for witches who take to the air.

Time to see who'll scare first, who'll be yelling.

I run through tall grasses

that outline your garden.

Allow passage through your gates.

Run over me with shear silk waters

so I can taste the bud of your flowers,

swaying in the warmth of the sun.

I climb to their top

Stare down all the paths that lead from here to there.

Take time to read the labels - be aware.

Distinguish the ones that are easy

from the ones that have no air.

Read the signs for every care.

Maybe you should take that path over there.

Now imagine, throw seed to the air

Let the wind lay them where.

I glue on paper faces

Painted paper emotions

Youthful expressions

Air brushed lines

That time erases

I look at my faces

Paper crayon images

Hollowed traces of me

Paper-cuts in deeper places

Finding it is no longer me I see

Dog-eared moments torn away

Pages of pulp fiction

Trapped to the hooks on your lines

Tied to your string

I must have a reason to be here

If there is a There to be.

If I didn’t need to be here

So I could be There

There I would already breath.

So

If there is a There

But

My focus is here

With no time for thought of There
