Transcendent Love
Dear Lord, please find me
somebody to love.
God replied, no,
not just one love.
I give you an ocean
of eternal love
found only in faith,
poetry and music.
From this special place,
you will find love
like you have never known,
from kindred spirits
around the world,
transcending
space and time,
to give you a glimpse
of the divine.

Resilient Soul
The past is haunting:
heartbreaking memories,
unbearable loss,
scars, seeping wounds.
The present is daunting:
deadly viruses, illness, disease,
affecting everything - livelihood,
relationships, life.
The future is uncertain:
climate change,
conspiracy theories,
political upheaval,
civil unrest.
We ask why:
amid confusion,

Kiss Me
Kiss me
in the strawberry fields
of your mind.
Kiss me
in rhythm
and rhyme.
Kiss me
until darkness
becomes sunshine.
Kiss me
from pain
to pleasure divine.
Kiss me
through sands
of time.
Kiss me
beyond death
to life sublime.

PoHo
When I read your poems,
I fall in love with you.
Then I read his poems,
and fall in love with him too.
I admit it,
I can’t quit it.
I’m a PoHo,
like Phoebe Snow!

Malignant Love
I can feel you,
thick in my throat,
threatening to consume me,
slithering through my mind and body,
wielding your alpha power,
making me weak.
I curse you, drown you,
in sunshine and sweet elixirs,
but you refuse to leave.
I am stronger than you think.
I order you and your invisible army
of pain, heartbreak, misery,
away from my cosmic energy.
I did not manifest you.
You...

toxic from the start
A series of self reflection
unhealthy questions
our rose colored phase with twisted lessons and a mutual obsession our souls connected as I throw a cruel test in
how much of me can you take or is this fate I’m lost in a paradise I refuse to break

Matriarch
What is this dark energy
cloaking the universe
threatening to consume me,
wrap me in a weighted blanket
of silent abyss.
Some days I’m tempted
to dive into the black hole,
see what all the fuss is about,
but I know if I do, I will take
a generation or two of
fragile minds with me.
Weakness is not my legacy.
I have to stay strong,
be my family’s guiding li...

Whine or Shine
Is there a poem or song to describe the melancholy that washes over me, unexpectedly?
One to suppress or express, dark desires
to put myself first, at all costs.
Let my needy family
fend for themselves,
betray those that have betrayed me,
including my own body.
Throw my arms up in despair,
one more time,
or...
take a deep breath,

Falling
Another crisp Autumn morning.
I wake before dawn,
hoping I won't think of you,
but I do. I always do.
Though you are not with me,
I feel you, in the brisk breeze,
spreading golden leaves,
on sacred ground.

I Am Poetry
I am the hunter of whispers.
I am the gatherer of brothers and sisters.
I am wind beneath wings, soaring in a summer sky.
I am the chiseled smile.
I am sparkles on snow.
I am a symphonic echo.
I am the horns and halo.
I am afterglow.
I am the you everyone wants to know.
I am everywhere you go.
I am the aha of heartbreak.
I am gamma rays beaming through dark days.

Gravity
We are as different
as the sun and moon,
circling the same universe,
with an omnificent God
you don’t believe in,
for adventures in love,
you among the trees,
me with my muse,
who today, lives in you.

Deflowered
I see you flowering her
the way you once did me.
Playing virtual footsies,
oozing lyrical chemistry.
Move on they say,
look the other way.
And so it shall be,
my focus is on me.
Sowing wildflower seeds,
shining in the rain,
dancing through the pain,
singing in a field of weeds.

Just a Bit Torn
My whole body reacts
to the image of you in my head,
As I lay impassioned in bed.
I have never been more aware of the material that encapsulates the mounds on my chest.
My hips move involuntarily, my cl*t pulsates,
seemingly to my quickened heart and shallow rapid breaths.
I can see clearly your lips, your mouth,
those discerning eyes that I love and hate in equal amounts.

Oh to call you daddy...
What a thrill that would be
Oh to call you daddy...
To have you spank and reprimand me
Oh to call you daddy...
How I would giggle and squeal with delight and glee
Oh to call you daddy...
Mmm...the ecstasy.

After the Pandemic
After the pandemic,
I hope we remove our masks,
find more reasons to smile,
forgive faster,
have more patience,
keep the faith,
help each other however we can.
Gather more,
hug more,
kiss more,
remember what we're here for,
live, laugh, love.
I hope you find strength
to move your mountains,
courage to carry on,
seize every opportunity
to live the After now.

A Song of Frigidity and Desire
Feeling sweet, flying high, you between caramel thighs
Latent passion, burns bright, red hot in the middle of the night
Never grappled with such emotions, had desire with such devotion
Thankfully, rationality quells the ache in the waking hour, logic turns sweet sour
Forbidden thoughts tantalize, it's torment to fantasize
Futile to take action, never to fruition comes satisfact...

Love Looks Good on You
You thought love
abandoned you,
knocked you down,
for the last time.
No music, no melody, no rhyme,
lights out on your doe eyes.
Lips that forgot
how to smile.
Heart on lockdown,
soul exiled.
Now here you are,
back on the wagon.
Your world spins again,
everything starts anew.
Glowing, singing happy tunes,
love looks good on you.

The Thief of Breath and Hugs (part 1)
She'd been told with much conviction
How the window was a shield.
For outside there lurked a wicked thief
And her breath this thief would steal
But, her family stood beyond the pane
A daughter, granddaughter & son
Who'd send out smiles like rays of light
And through the glass they'd come
She blows them kisses, and shakes her fist
In case this thief's about

Modus Operandi
Deny, deny, deny,
modus operandi,
when caught in a lie.
Can pass a polygraph
while looking you in the eye.
Knowing what’s done in dark
eventually comes to light,
until such time,
deny, deny, deny!

Maybe Next Time
Maybe next time,
I will get it right,
put up more of a fight,
won’t settle,
take control of my life.
Maybe next time,
I will find fortune and fame,
learn how to play the game.
Maybe next time,
I will see it through,
know the right thing to do.
Maybe next time,
you will love me,
as much as I love you.

I Concede
I can't breathe.
I don't want to breathe...

I want to seethe.
Please let me seethe...

I want to feed.
Why can't I feed...
(I want to devour you!)
I have needs.
Don't you have needs...

Let's do the deed.

Imposter Begets Imposter?
Who am I
why do I
when will I
where can I
Answers elude
My identity un-formed and crude
Mother pretends
The show never ends
Until the curtain is drawn
All the doors are closed and simulations suspend
I don't know who I am
Give anything to be sure
Stand firm in my convictions
On both sides of the door
No duplicity here
All masks removed

My Super man
Panic setting in
For reasons unknown everything is unsettling
I wished I could kick my heels and disappear
But, instead, he appears
Through the haze his face is clear
I fight the urge to will him near
Oh God, did he sense my fear
Or my emotions churning and my tears near
How does he do it, what exactly does he hear
Me quietly praying, daring him to care
My vulnerabili...

Transference and its counter
Am I making an impression...
Do I leave you bewildered with every expression...
Do you look forward like I do to our weekly sessions...
Or are my scribbled musings akin to aggression...
An unbecoming, pathetic vie for attention...
I find you delightful and have a genuine fascination...
I am curiously eager, feelings bordering on intoxication.

A Client's Woe
When shadows go into hiding
And dreams run wild
I imagine you all stripped down and bare
All facades shed
Thoughts of me invade your head...
Or so I wish, a girl can dream
I miss you, I want you
If only I could scream
These words out loud
Remove the shroud
Say them loud
Say them proud...
But I mustn't disturb the peace
What is unknown must remain ...

The Flame Within
She has a beauty that shines from within
A light that never grows dim
Her candle goes not out by night
And the radiance inside her, ever bright
When the wind blows,
Her flame - it holds
She thrives, she sparks
She glows, she grows.

Broken
We were young 19 and 22
just me and you
we went into this blindly
everything we've gone through wasn't supposed to be taken lightly
three months in
and we found out we're having a kid
we bickered and we fought
that's how relationships were at least so I thought
4 months I was afraid
but for eight years you've stayed
but not without a glitch
you f*** that b****

Beautiful Dreams
I wish for a soulful voice,
a proud father,
reconciled love.
In absence of these things,
I do not despair,
because I have the music,
that makes my unfulfilled wishes,
beautiful dreams.

The Sex
She walked into this world,
Smiled, and parted her thighs,
Loving passion of death,
Burning the flesh to cinders,
Come to me,
Desire has weakened my spirit,
Her words have broken me,
Echos carry deep, dripping with the sex,
Be with me,
Pain and love are one,
The blood-soaked arousal of an evil servant,
The consumate act, the ultimate submission,
Fuck me,
And in the end it ...

Broken
Broken
by the broken.
starting the show.
Broken
by the love
I used to know.
Broken
by circumstances
beyond my control
Broken
with no place to go,
except within,
where I find the strength
to rise again.

It's Not In The Falling
I fell
For the feelings, the flowers, the fantasies.
I fell
For you, for us, for all that we were.
Innocently thinking that was all love could be.
I confused the falling for the force.
But,
Falling was all about me.
And,
Loving is all about you.
Baby, I'm no longer falling
But to you I promise,
I'll always be loving.

Let Me In
Where are you?
Are you wandering
the moors
of your mind
all alone?
I am at the Grange
feeling a little deranged
from the madness
close to home.
Let me in,
to the hearth
of your heart,
so we can slow dance,
into the twilight.

Two in the Morning
Profound sadness
clouds my view

I don’t understand why
my muse avoids me like the flu,
when a simple poem or song will do.
Wise words to help me understand
why true love passed me by
in this lifetime.
Why wrong choices,
that felt right at the time,
left me alone in this abyss
where my better self
silently bears witness

The man and the sea - Part 1: The Stranding
After the ship broke
the man found himself in the middle of the sea
drifting into the unknown in the dark
clinging to a piece of tree
the man is physically strong, he needs to be
cause his mindset is weak
and now that no one can see
he lets out a tiny weep
by daylight, the man spots land on the horizon
he heads off and crawls
but she, the sea, won’t let him ...

Broken Man (Regrets)
Here I stand, a broken man
Trying to cope the best I can
Guys are not supposed to cry
We’re macho with our heads held high
But alone I feel a shivering wreck
With mixed up thoughts and mass regrets
Regrets that I just can’t be me
Regrets of the false man you see
Each tiny thought I try to dissect
But each tiny thought then becomes a threat
A threat that I might be exposed
Exposed to tho...

Why can't you love me the same
I gave you my life
You gave it back
But you live your life
Behind a mask
Hiding a secret
It’s yours to tell
But you should have told me
Before I fell
You are to blame
You caused me pain
Why can't you love me the same
Building years of friendship
Building years of love
Growing strong together
Embracing all we’ve got
But this charade
Is what you made
I see the truth
As it slowly ...

But the path we climb ain’t easy
There are things that stand in our way
Believe in what we’re achieving
And we’ll reach the top someday

Stronger when we're together
As I hold my head in shame
I caused the doubt
I am to blame
If I promise not to cry
Will we get by
I always try
But feelings don't come easy
When I've kept them all inside
From the moment we start talking
When I’ve got nowhere to hide
Will we survive
We are stronger when we’re together
Weaker when we’re apart
I promise to be faithful
I’ll give you all my heart
With you I thrive

I should of kept quite, not swallowed my pride
But how could I live

Emotionally scared
A heart that is bruised

Soul Songs
Your poetic words
bring comfort

Floating in the

Two stars colliding,

The price of discipline

Worries dissolve
with each drum beat,

Transformed.
Hope springs eternal,

Not-So-Happy Father’s Day
Jealousy pokes at me
like a schoolyard bully,
as I scroll social media greetings
professing undying love,
to fathers here and above.
I can’t help but feel cheated
to not have a father’s love.
I cringe at the dissonance
between my children
and their father.
How can fate be so cruel,
to curse multiple generations
with dysfunctional fathers.

Primal Howl
Hurdling moral barriers,
past caution flags of life,
towards red lights,
to feel alive,
something, anything.
Excitement rising
in your second brain,
adrenaline coursing
through collapsed veins,
primal howl,
lost in the now,
while consequences growl,
like a tornado.
