Suffocating,
leave me alone

Good morning, Mrs. Hummingbird,
It’s nice you came this way
Come on in and join me
Let’s greet a brand new day
The air is fresh and cool now
We sip our early brew
It’s coffee in . . .

Smoky wired banter,
Hanging crepe, raucous laughter,
Whispered asides unveiled.
Dreams flapping in the wind,
Like pages of unread books.
Books stained with coffee,
Dreams stained by fear.
Inhaling . . .

How much pain can the average heart bear?
The pain is so heavy.
Intense.
Overwhelming.
Tears flow like rivers seeking the ocean.
The pain remains.
Deep are the breaths.
Hot are the tears.

My world I examine through scrutinous eyes
All is merely will and representation
Unabated longings of the heart
Passing through the womb of possibility
Potentiality transformed into actuality

He moistens his lips
Raises his brow
Masters the art
Of seducing the page
Sheds a tear for longing
Wipes his eyes with shame
Gently rubs his temples
Sacred ink stained pain

Have you ever tried to help someone,
and end up making them more alone?
The anger, the hurt, the pain,
You make it all your own!
You try so hard
You want to be there
nothing matters,
nothing . . .

Where I Am From
I am from two loving parents
My mother image, my father’s athletic skill
I come from many places
Sometimes confusing
98.6 degrees and chilled to the bone

Dear Diary,
I crash into the iceberg
Oceans spill within my veins
A flood of thoughts pour forth
Salty tears; tides of insight
Snapshots of the ebb and flow
Immortalize these colored moments
Of angst, . . .

I sometimes fly below the radar
That is my private lane
I keep my quiet tone mellow
In silence I sustain
The gentle wind blows on my face
It makes me feel so free
The yellow sun casts . . .

Simple words are all we need
Like flowers started from a seed
They flourish with tender love and care
Without it they hold quite bare
And simply leave us standing there
Wondering why…
