Valentines Day

Dressing up, styling hair, feeling fine
Card and presents, wait to be opened, all in a line
Roses, chocolates and bottles of red wine
Celebrating Valentines Day, its just a matter of time
Happiness shown, whether it be rain or shine
Cupid wasn't so stupid, sending his arrow as a sign
The restaurant booked, we drink and then we dine
Thinking that when we met, he must of made you mine

New Years 2023

As the year of 2023 comes to a relieving close
We think over the good and bad times we chose
Memories stack up again and then begin to fade
Thinking up New Years Resolutions to be made
We begin to look to the joys of a fresh New Year
Where we start to wave a huge good-bye to fear
Tears and worries that consumed part of 2023
Are left behind as the New Year brings a new me
With the help of R...

Written in Stone

an epitaph
covered in overgrown grass
numbers and a letter encrypted,
written to the deceased,
for only those who knew him
you’d truly understand

Hot Spring

the plumes of a caldera,
and the dark clouds,
sun overshadowed,
at its core a scalding heat turned colder
because of similarities
shared this simile
for the changing of seasons, anew
an unforgiven embrace

Table Manners

he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal

had to-go

then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back

the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress

I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic

Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

size them up

had me my hand me downs
and, we all know too well known
if the shoe fits wear it

nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house
her chores, get done…
one bra in the wash and no panties on

The first steps
commemorated with expensive shoes,
soles being broken in,
a mash of burning glass,
molten sand and in it,
it’s silica content

approach with caution

veered off, routine stop, in the shoulder…
looking over your paper work,
keep your hands on the steering wheel,
“I’m not going to ask again”
repeated offenses
respect my authority

police officers
a ford mustang and dodge charger

government funded electric vehicles
take a look inside the hood, it
purrs like a street cat with a scratchy throat

cut the lights on and off
I’m just try...

love-hate relationship

obsession …
— envy us
in the way they stay upsetting
themselves.

you’re setting yourself up for failure

possible optimism

two glasses
my other, half
fully blurry vision
they’re prescription
usually she has to squint
and hadn’t felt the planets tilt till now

Red Dye Number 40

in pursuit of riches
snapped twigs, and

exhausted —
all my resources …

Rhetoric

attacking my integrity

questioning… me

myself,

I, was taught there was no such thing as a stupid question

second guessing…

why?

you were impolite.

Infinitesimal

dimensional
cellular division
the genomic sequence

time is a light matrix
encoded in
0’s & 1’s
goes on forever …
and, in that order
10, 9.

A singularity
and absolute zero

the big freeze or heat death

he said no one can help us
when, asking the universe
for answers

what, times any number
… is nothing other than zero

like a spider
checking in on his victim
tied up, entangled …

smooth...

They say he has his way with the ladies
the bruiser at the door
thought to himself
hey, let’s not get carried away

what a light weight ...
they had been seen leaving together
after a fight—being broken up
over a year at least

she said to all her girlfriends
“it was like I was blinking
then my eyes rolled back
into my head and everything went black”

Dark Side of the Moon

prophesied
the premonitions
foreshadow people
who live lives with
similarities parallel to our very own

when your third eye intakes light
and all the shades disappear in the night
their life is vibrant
the dream seen as an auric phenomenon
it’s either that
Or, are you completely isolated
in the back of the black of your eyelids

see an oracle or dream interpreter,

We are Human

That’s what makes us human,

that we tell our stories;

we tell not just theirs,

not those of the powerful,

but those of the women

and those of the men,

who all but survive,

in our stinking back-alleys;

so out I now venture,

I, who have been sheltered,

who am warm and well-fed,

to collect from the shop

poems written by many,

for you and for you,

for the muc...

reincarceration

serving consecutive life sentences
three meals,
the confines of jail time
three strikes,
and they are never letting you get out
they throw the book at you
like a caged animal
preying,
...as it lands on a page that says
a message from god
sins written on — listed off, and then
sent across the hall to your distant friend again

a life of recycling license plates
crime pays for the chip...

Scenarios

Every night i lie in bed

dozen scenarios in my head

thinkin bout how and what and when and where

every night you'll find me there

 

in my head

my secret place

in my mind 

my safest space

 

all those things i never find

confidence? 

i'd rather hide 

brave enough? not the case 

 

but in my mind 

my safest space 

 

i can be what i cannot
