Two hobbling in the rains

They were drenched
Man in his
Mechanized chair
One leg gone.
Doggy skipping alongside
On three.
Happy tongue lolling.
So proud of that
Plaid rainwear
From last Christmas
All was exceptional
Exercise plan.
Minding not downpour
Or grim...

Back From The Dead

I feel my confidence fade as the
Angels of death slice through my
Heart with venomous words poisoning
My aura draining every ounce of
Energy from my body while
Suffocating the scent of beauty
In the heartlands drowning me in
The black hole...

Long Country Roads

Driving long country roads at the start of Spring
the dirt doesn’t billow and hover
coating everything and everyone like in heat of Summer,

Winter’s blanket removed – the fields are
greening – the earth is breathing;
the palpitating earth...

The Prophetic Word

We do not follow any myths,
When we had made known unto you;
No fable as told that uplifts,
Rather witnessed accounts as true.

The power coming from the Lord,
Eyewitnessed of His Majesty;
That cannot ever be ignored,
Which is holding a...

My dead garden

A silent rain drop forms in the corner of my eye,
Stilly watering the dead garden that I’ve created around me.

Drip,
Drip,

The crunchy sticks of dried up dreams,
mixed with the dead flowers of hopes long gone,
Or maybe ones...

The Deep End

Swimming in the deep end.
Got you feeling distressed up to your neck.
Cheating death just a little beneath the waves.

Kick and push you fight, trying to stay afloat.
Water going inside your head.
Got you feeling struggling in the deep...

Dirt

Only the ruthless want to tear one down
There is no true strength in shoving others to the ground
Weak individuals feel power when inflicting pain
Strong men will hold you through the rain
Only a fool will tear a real woman apart
We have been...

Depression: The Grand Puppet Master

Depression: The Grand Puppet Master

With a smile upon my face and love in my eyes, I am drowning;
Darkness and despair all around, everything hopeless and pointless.
As I go through the motions, I am the master of pretending;
Surrounded by...

A cat “Lost in Time”

“Lost in Time”

She’d lost track of time and was missing for days, for spring had arrived and enticed her away, but her tummy was rumbling and she needed a rest; the green dewy grass didn’t taste the best.

So, dancing through the bluebells...

Hora de Ir

Perdido em um oceano de sombras profundas
À deriva nas ondas da saudade e das horas turvas
Onde está a primavera que outrora prometeste?
Onde reside o calor que outrora me aqueceste?

Sei que não me amavas, isso é certo
E que já não habitas...

Posture

Somehow in my adult years I
Began to slouch without
Awareness that would help me try
To figure that thing out.

While in the Air Force I was told,
"Roll both your shoulders back."
But maybe I was much too bold
To change and I lost track
