New Orleans Lover of life, music, food, and passion. Believer in love and happiness. Realistic enough to know there must be rain to have rainbows and Darkness to have stars and moon glow. Hopeful enough to be a romantic while having a scholars mind.
Laying here lethargically listless remote uninterested My Heart cowers in the corner Begs my Brain to fix it Make it all right again And it wants to; It does. When Heart hurts Brain wants to take up arms To defend Heart's purity But here we all sit uncurious apathetic stupefied Brain is callous to the world But won't let the world take Heart. She is still the princess in the gardens Playing with the butterflies. Heart will be protected. So Brain sends out the anesthetics To try and settle Hearts palpitations. But when that happens, The vivaciousness is lost. And we sit here dazed detached aloof Maybe tomorrow Brain thinks, We can try and bring her back. Make her Lively Spirited SPARKLING, again. But it must be a little at a time These things can't be rushed Where Heart is concerned, They take time. So for now, indifferent melancholy torpid is how she must be.

They come from all sides So many wounds So much torture The compression seems endless As do the tears Some of the attacks for seen, But could not be denied But those to the outlying sentries that always stand tall.. The senseless assault No warning, no reason at all Those for seen Don't hurt less Just compound the pain Focus it to a sharp point To ****** between by ******* There is no breath To yell or to scream To beg or to humble Whisper or mumble An ask for help It wouldn't come It can't It doesn't know how Or what to do To make right So all the warrior queen can do Is throw back her shoulders Stand tall and proud Knowing she will survive this too And be stronger for her tenacity tomorrow

Torment
Beep Chirp Random Melody Plays Notifications But none of them say what I want them to say So much information And yet I am not clear on the answer Do I even know the question? How can we be so unknowing in the information age? So many places to look Most right at our fingertips Lord knows we stare at that small glowing screen all day We shouldn't need to question anything Ring Buzz Chimes Too bad our hearts can't just download the perfect app So we'd know which one is ours So we'd know what to say When to say When it's all okay When you really can be you Soft Jazz Tune Funny Line Doorbell Maybe one of them is it this time

Heart beats fast Blood pressures up Buzz in your head Every cell & follicle stands up Peace on contact Fire still burns Laughter in conversation Passion still churns Knowledge & ideas shared Desire holds tight So much binds them Yet fear divides Unknown outcomes Past mistakes Current situations Comfortable yet uncomfortable space Knowing that now Liked or not Seems easier to stay in Than giving the uncharted a shot What if it's not All that they dream But what if it's more Than just what's been seen Should it be bottled And left on a shelf To molder and crumble And shrink on itself Or should they shirk off The old ties that bind And find out what happens When they give it a try No one wants to hurt And no one wants to wound But what if denial Brings just what they fear The loss of someone Who has become so dear A favorite line comes to mind At these times Fear is the mind killer Perhaps the heart also withers

Fear
floating breathing in out heartbeat rustle of leaves ****** of river on rock slap of wave drip one two three more Shower Applause of water from the sky light flash Explosion Excitement Banging Barrage Purples Blues Heart Racing Water Streaming Running somewhere in there... one little drop got lost
