Outrage
This stick named Outrage
Is what stirs the masses
Rousing them in anger
Rail against injustices
Wolves in Yellowstones
Gangs in L.A.
Genocide in Africa
Trouble in Latvia, or
Slums in Mumbai.
And while anger is better than fear
This focus remains on the problems
And so the problems remain.
How then to drop that stick,
And let our focus be guided
To solutions?
To set our sails instead

Solitude
I'm constricted by the fact, that life is to share,
I just see poor judgment, and a silly content,
of stay where you were hand, to raised and to forget.
Over bed or on couch, your time shall come next,
As the rest of your days, bad-thoughts, hopes and prays.
It is said that's not true, for you to be alone,
So to them I should say, my half never became.
I've been thinking ...

PILLOW
I needed a pillow under my head
to support me
Not to cover my face
smothering me
Can't you see
that's what you did to me?
---
I did not run to be mean
or control you
I ran because I could not breath...
---
But I needed a pillow
so I kept coming back
Hoping you would learn
to be by my side
Equal beings
neither better or worse
Existing to support e...

Love me this way, if you love me too
Often have seen you stuck
Amid being smart and schmuck
Here’s my answer to how should you?
Love me this way, if you love me too
Wake up with me at the dawn-break
Yawn, smile and kiss my forehead
Wish a good morning before I do
Love me this way, if you love me too
Avoiding me is a gross mistake
In a quick second, respond me back
At least twice a day, say “I miss you”
Love me this way...

HO HO HO
Tis Christmas
thru the land
of forgiveness
and love
We should travel
---
Grudges should stay
with the Grinch
---
If not forever
at least for today
---
Hold your friends
and family
near
Know that they
are ever so
dear
---
Let go of anger
and resentment
Enter the world
of contentment
---
If not forever
at least for today

Love Yourself
I'm my own worst enemy,
It's funny how that works.
To see nothing great in me,
To question, "what's my worth?"
Looking in the mirror,
All I see is filth,
But the mirror isn't dirty,
It's just the figures spilth.
People try to compliment me,
But I only disagree,
Not seeing what they see,
They must say not what they mean.
I need more motivation.
My job is nothing great.
I need to...

Cold Hearted
Cold Hearted
the calming time
cotton wool squeak
beneath my feet
the air
crisp with cold
crystal palaces
cut from ice
nose and mouth
streaming mist
vivid blue sky
the lake cupped
by mountain hands
in a caring gesture
frozen feet deep
covered with snow
the calming time
distant voices
carried on a
biting breeze
cheeks frost rouged

Muddle Puddle
Eyes and lips
which
blossom from your carved face,
sugar skull, sherbert fizz.
To Mr, from Mz,
we really wanted to fuck this.
Turned my brain insane,
my tongue inside
out.
Caught in fog,
in haze, like cloudy lemonade;
a gaze, let's misbehave.
Infatuated,
I won't make it.
Too intense:
this forever pretence,
can't do more pretend.
Beg.
Take a hot hit,
bit by bit,
I got...

Things I'll Never Tell You
You're exasperating sometimes.
You can be obsessive and it can be annoying.
I sometimes get annoyed at you for no reason.
I get upset when you imply that you don't think you're handsome.
Because you are.
Sometimes I worry that you don't really care about me.
That you're only with me to make me feel better.
Because I've had that before.
Sometimes I think I don't deserve you.
Becaus...

WORDS
Where were the words
why couldn't we talk
So much I wanted to say
but the words got caught in my throat
---
Why did the magnet push us apart
when there were words to say
---
Could it be different at a different time
was it just the timing
I don't know
---
So awkward
So off beat
---
We couldn't get the timing
of the dance
---
Yet the magnet d...

Excited
Do you every get that giddy feeling?
Like a child who just woke up on Christmas morning
looking at the presents that Santa brought.
Or like a student who just auditioned for her schools’s play,
and now is waiting for the cast list to be posted.
Yah, I do too.
It’s a wonderful feeling of hope and desire.
It’s driving at 70 mph with the windows down on an open road.
It’s rare...
