Poems and Prose
Divinity reaches down from the sky, or maybe right up through the ground, there really isn’t any way to tell, it happens so fast, the rug gets pulled out from under me, my soul is wearing thin and my heart is quaking from everything unknown. The sun isn’t really rising and setting, we’re spinning around … Continue reading Smoke and Mirrors
A must read!
When it gets into me, I grind my teeth and stoop over until my nose bleeds. When the blood trickles through my fingers, I grin and bite and chew and those who get too close are reduced to mere ashes. When the fluid is in my belly one version recedeswhile the other comes racing to the surface. This thing inside of me, it calls out your name. It wants you more than you could ever know. It puts you on a pedestal, makes you an icon. Maybe a jewel. Maybe a lamb. Maybe the lexicon of these secrets that keep bubbling away unseen. And how they bubble and pop each second of every day along with every drop of saliva that drips from my mouth into the palms of these dirty hands so it swirls with my blood and sweat creating portals that resemble the part of your body I…

I will no longer let my power be taken by self-absorbed and uncompassionate people. I matter too much.
I found myself Walking in my sleep Feet at the edge A nightmare reality Making it’s way to the surface From beyond the deep My mind a raging storm Faces and memories torn Away in a frenzy Dazed and confused What’s in my head Grasping at bits and pieces I can see a light But … Continue reading Knife to my Back
Nervous breakdown? I’m unremarkably placid But I am broken down So many pieces lost in calamity A bloody breadcrumb trail Made from shards of my soul A being less than whole Squandered in violence, lies and tragedy Fathomless I can feel the heat Of where it all started Established in hell Endured in the inferno … Continue reading Shining Silver Friend
The Last Day Broken furniture Flying telephone Slammed doors Clenched fists Crying children Yelling man Terrified woman Quiet neighbors Police sirens Divorce papers #brave10objectchallenge
“No” slips off your tongue like gravy How you do that amazes me I say “yes” because then I think Just maybe I will belong But for how long Listen to the creak of the door Your t-shirt has holes in it but you keep it anyway I’ve been in your house Tried to leave … Continue reading Legacy
Then Then, the day to day All I could do was go Away Fear clouded memory Duck and cover Mind fucked like A ravenous lover Leaving me helpless Weak On the floor A sobbing heap My truth Should be a lie Just let me be free The shape of fear The shape of me Hollowed … Continue reading Away Then

Hell bent on wiping me out
You’ve seen me fall before
Reached out and offered a hand
Now you shove me out the door
Desperate attempt to even the score
Radio silence
You aren’t right all the time
Living on urban vapors
Poisoning your mind
Evaporating
Hearts of the kind
A story of revenge
Veiled in resurrection
Force you to look in my direction
Fiery Armageddon
Made a sovereign decision
Retracted my open invitation
This isn’t a journey
It’s a runaway train
Tracks rusted and eroded
Mirroring damaged brain
No light at the end of the tunnel
The temple has been set on fire
Crucifix burned across my chest
Tortuous desire
There is no day of rest
This isn’t a test
Rooted in utero
Nourished with disease
Fed on sacramental fear
Born to bleed
I cannot descend any further
Screams heard only by the captive
We speak in secret tongues
