death of a gorgon
so I become this wrought iron
that I have forged with my own two hands.
I sharpen myself,
tip to hilt.
but
my mouth,
the very blade that can cut the sky,
chose to speak in a healers' tone instead.
I remind myself
of the violence it took
to becomeĀ
this gentle.
this cup of earth in my hands,
with home beneath
my fingernails.
I remind myself
what it means to be
pierced to the marrow

bee keepers waltz (03/15/2024)
you make me feel
like a bee in a dandelion fieldĀ Ā
Ā
nourished and sunny
and
scattered to the warmth of the wind
that carried the ocean to the plainsĀ
to above the lakes
to the cracks I'm the sidewalks
Ā where we met
where we keep meetingĀ
where you held my handĀ
and keep holdingĀ
through the rain

you were okay with that . (it's just a shower) 12/19/2023
by the flicker of my spark
by the cooling coals
beneath the hearth
by eyelids,
flittering then frozen still
where the snowflakes fall, today
where the Ash tomorrow will
our snuffed will lay to rest
a sediment of misspent youths
the rest will weigh fate's dander
o'er paths of long forgotten truths
brights buried
in moonlight
in alien sun in long-tread lost ways tr...

Flame-Licked Heels
Iāve been working on
Coming back from
The dead
Realising reality
Living in this world
Becoming me
I donāt have to know who I am
But I must know that I am
I am, I am, I am
I donāt have to know what I am
To deserve to be
Iām working on being,
Just being
Because Iāve been existing
Mindless, automatic, numb
Best autopilot, me
Coming back from the dead

Overconsumption
We go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
Itās easy to live in comfort and abundance
But maybe you drown,
Donāt live
And you just exist
Strip away luxuryā¦
Could you be with just yourself,
And basic needs?
With only your thoughts for company?
Because we go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
We consume with our mouths
Pack, squeeze, cram...

Being a parent
Jump in puddles and make a messĀ
This life is to be lived at its best
Play in the sunshine and dance in the rain
Share in the joy and guide them through pain
We teach them to listen, we teach them to talk
We carry and hold them and teach them to walk
For all the manners we teach them useĀ
We must remember to use them too
We must stop and listen and see through their eyes

Where You Begin
The first time
Is a pin prick
To unstitch
Your skin
To feel yourself
Begin
You search your being
You are it:
Coursing through yourself
The second time
You search inside
A stranger
Behind the corner shop
You find where he begins
Adrenaline!
But come back,
Stinking of rot
Void of thought
To feel what?
What are you searching for?
To begin ag...

We Feel
Some time ago
My skin turned wooden
My feet moulded into one
Foot
I slipped
And smudged the painted grid
On the marble floor
Another time I fell
And did not stop
I rolled right off the board
It was not a conscious decision
To spectate rather than participate
But it happened
As it does to many
Who give up on giving
When you undertake solely seeing
You relinquish being
But not feeli...

Against
Your boot is pressed against my neck
While you peer into the horizon,
A beautiful symphony of warm and cool colorsĀ
Creating a mesmerizing dawn.
My gasps of anguish are muffled by your song.
I don't know how to get to my knees,
Let alone stand, but I'll try.
My face grinds against the ground
Attempting to make sand of stone.
You press down harder against my neck.
The pressure is astoundi...

HELP!!
Ā
Ā
Ā
Ā
Is it a Curse .. or God's GraceĀ
To live alone heart and placeĀ
Suffering what I always faceĀ
Hopeless to be myself againĀ
Ā
Are these changes good for meĀ
To be lonely always or not to beĀ
To live away of what I seeĀ
I lost my hope and brainĀ
Ā
Sadly to wake up and sleepĀ
Painful to feel yourself cheapĀ
Living alone hurts in deepĀ
I wish to know why, but i...

Laugh to Live.
Ā
Happiness, in hands for you.
If you decided, not to be sad.
As a cup of water, to drink.
To clean your thoughts, to be glad.
Ā
Sadness, does not need to broach.
It always knocks, worried heart.
But Happiness, with a golden coach.
Asks, to ride happiness cart.

The Brain is yours, āto make useā.
Positively, think of your own.
Feel your value, never abuse.

Feel It
Feel it with all your might
Feel it with all thatās insight
Feel it tonight
Feel it regardless of your fight
Feel the laughter and pain hitting right
Feel it like the wind lashing off the winter night
Feel it again
Feel it over and over again
Feel it like you canāt pretend
Feel life like itās your friend
Feel it for all thatās lost with no end
Feel it again
Feel it while delivering...

The Shield
How can I say how I feel,
Describe words to you that you will understand,
If I myself don't understand...
Ā
There are days I just want to scream.
When all I crave is to be heard,
For someone to simply understand how I feel.
Someone who grabs my hand without needing to be asked,
Simply because I need to feel the support.
Ā
It is so easy for me to say everything's okay...

Nothing...?...
My pain, guilt are nothing ...Ā if comparedĀ
With your miraclish feel "self-value"
