Grief paints me
In  misplaced moss
Where hazy stars are red with lace
Feeble and sunken into the  rain
Hollow hopes tangling the edge
My seam is frail and coarse
Ivory flesh with a dose of despair
My voice lies dormant stamped with reprieve
I quilt and stitch my tears together
The dismay of change keeps me restrained
The stains of winter confine my grief
I unravel as I unfold
The layers of youth
Go so untold
I handle your soul with the tips of my fingers
Holding your heart as it falls into a million little parts
Let go face the truth
Own your voice and what is real
Why forsake what you deserve?
The question is forgotten and we get left behind
Then my insides will scream
Not to be divine
Devastate
Tolerate
Infuriate
Procasinate it's what you do
A fetus dressed like a blue bird at night
Lungs that don't have a fight
Wings that cannot take flight
Sweet face with delicate feathers
Touching an spirit with  gods mouth
Magic upon the clouds
With a heart that will not die
But the will to survive
I have a 9 yr old son who has many developmental delays and sensory processing disorders to many to name.  He was 5 weeks premature and paralyzed on one side. I had an emergency c-section do to kidney failure and H.E.L.L.P syndrome. He was like a bird blue like the sky before a storm comes  and the wind comes and sweeps it all away. They brought him back to life two times that day. The pain that day that still resides in my heart. The constant guilt that I sustain. Did I lift something that was to heavy for me? Why did he separate from me in the womb? Did he want away from me that bad? He can move both sides of his body and can play. He gets very angry at me. I have to keep my home safe keep him away from knives. Mental health issues are never nice. As a mother I want to hold him and embrace. Its not been a easy road but life is never easy or so I have been told. We move forward day to day dance on the clouds if we may. The only thing that is blue is his eyes that take me so far away. Thank you for reading this I have never told my story and how close death was for him and I . Peace
His muse
Gently sweeps her heart
A poet with mystery
Gone behind the shadows
Opens the soul
Creating magic by love
The way of the wind
Shines upon us
Like a gypsy I move
Dancing around in the light
Feeling the fallen night
I uproot all that I believe
Pound my fists just to prove my point
I anger so quickly since you went away
Parts of me feel so free
Yet if I had you it would only be you and me  
What is this I made what did I create?
I feel so feverish I’m so weak
I use to read you like my favorite book
I would  trace your face with my finger tips
Now it all seems so dim
I cant leave you alone
I need to inhale your scent
Maybe I’m wrong
But what is it that people need to know
You know me best
You make me tick
I don’t want to pretend anymore that you don’t exist
I know the truth and that’s all that matters
Swimming eyelids,  fracture my sleep
Sadness has never been so beautiful
Yet so dangerous
How can you expect me to accept my own skin?
It left  when I started to sin
Ran from the remains of my childhood parts
Gave them to you in the silence of the dark
Let me tell you there is no drug that will dull this pain
Yet I would do it again
As you traced the freckles that cross my back
Like small ants hunting for grub
I felt special and pretty and small
I have never experienced that feeling since
Kisses that made me weak
I never felt robbed of my youth
That was how you manipulated me so
I made such a good wife in your make belief
I carry the burden for two
These bones of mine with no core left
My search for love is so unfair
Lust is all I knew
But you took it with you
Hallway of moon beams
The valley of your ribs
Shadows under my depression
A journey of immortal growth
Climbing your vertebrae
I'm the silhouette on the trapeze into space
Drinking from your collarbone
Hollowed space in between hips
Tissues of your joints
Your curtains of skin that uncover letting me in
Settled in your lungs is seaweed
As you waited long in the bottom of the sea
It burned my little petal
But the gun was cold on my face
I was not afraid
I was in another place
My imagination escaped  
I ran through fields of flowers
Catching butterflies and smelling daffodils
I blew bubbles slowly into the air
Chased the dog across the yard
I had a vanilla ice cream and it was just right
The sun was warm against my skin
I was not inside a cage
God of the winds
Flying out of vanilla trees
Closing my eyes for the shadows to see
Battered poverty swallowing my youth
Hopeless staggering fractures  
The voice of anguish
Encloses the elements
As the oppression fades
I reach inside to pull out the taste of faith
Your velvet breath comes
As the morning sky is born
Celebrate and devour peace
The broken timid breeze
Lingers and torn
At your young wild steel heart
That is on your sleeve
A naked prisoner that has no way
Stream through the secret desire
Into the ocean glass up into the free
Filling cups with generations of pain,
Refusing to drink it anymore
Segregation, deprivation, invasion
I'm barely breathing
Scrap me from this earth
As I taste it
Secrets dance across the horizons
Spiraling and writhing with afoul intentions
Unhealed lovers whimpering in the valley of dreams
A whirlwind  of provocative skies expanding  and gliding
Hushed woes  ancient  and burned with wonder
As I look at the headstone that holds your name
The heavens are blue since you went away
The wind is vicious beside me
Wanting to shout that nothing seems the same
I recall so vividly the way your voice sounds to me
Reaching out my hands to the sky
I can’t help but ask why
Can you hear me or hear the cries?
This is in memory of my brother Dave who passed away almost 1 yr ago June 9. I should also add that cancer *****.
Broken shards of wind and rain succumb to dust
As the jar of poetry is upon the Crystal moonlight
A cracked blur that is declining yet shining
My form has withered  my raw lost thoughts
As  I await for secrets
I get swayed  into the twilight
Your skin radiates next to my lips
I shall dry your tears of saliva
Your violin voice makes me feel  mystical  
As the daisy's  begin to thirst,  for the purest hope of spring
The evening begins to ascend on a blue jays wing
I'm immersed into this reality
Arched into ecstasy with a exquisite sensation
I erupt into a wave that is the ground of love
Fireflies and lullabies
Make me think of the past goodbyes
When I was young  and would lay in the grass
That’s when everything seem to last
The clouds would dance up above
With visions of rainbows in my head
This was before things were dead
Things were not cold
I didn’t have voices in my head
So damaged and decayed  
Crawling inside me ear is fear
I can feel it move feel it near
I have nightmares while I’m awake
I know something is trying to overcome me
Ripping at the very seams of what I’m made
Wanting to slash my skin to see how much I can take
With a spoonful at a time you consume me
Quietly into this moment this haze
My eyes try and follow but don’t know the way
My mind tries to center but that don’t last
In your perfect world  this don’t exist
When the only thing you need is one more hit
Sadistic and sick I cant help but drown
I’m so tired of living this way
Ruptured the way of the ground
Down is the only turn I take  
What a dishonor you call yourself a soul
You refuse to understand others need
Look at this skeletal frame of mine
Did I chose this life of mine?
Do I like to inject in my veins ?
Hide behind my mask that’s attacking
Its swallowing me whole
Vomiting me out through my nose
As blood appears and says words again
That nobody knows
Unborn fingers in the womb, dipped in sap
Upon emerald shores collecting in the cracks of my heart
Painted valleys with a warriors thirst
Braided flowers waltzing with hymns
Amniotic carcass with small town blues
Kindling wood stamped with an antique sunset
Pulling my heart into the whistling shores
I scrap and peel the patchwork of the earth
Half written dreams dust the floor
In the crook of her neck we drown
Secrets eat away the floor
The petal of her taste nips the winter pain
Bird travelers taste the treetops
Torn like a page from the language of your touch
I'd split my bones to place you indside
The day seemed so young as the floors begin to moan
A hummingbird sobbing in the deepness of time
As the night dreams
Any suggestions for a better name for this poem.Stuck in a rut.
A crippled hysteria
Suffering is the discovery
That one is nothing but a worthless antique
Left in the filth with the fragments to  be burned
I shall decease
Submissiveness and somber
Passions to high
Intolerable sobriety
Inhaling razors at 3 am
Graceful drunk, worthless
Shattered with enslavement
Starving for a bottle of you
Wishing for a fairy-tale life
Submissiveness and somber
Passions to high
Intolerable sobriety
Inhaling razors at 3 am
Graceful drunk, worthless
Shattered with enslavement
Starving for a bottle of you
Wishing for a fairy-tale life
A delicate fabric
Developing into me
Pursuing promises of light
As my lungs begin to  perforate
A rebel moon uninvited
Spitting pieces of ropes into the wasted clouds
I become frantic with the thought of relapse
With reflections of vulnerability
Starless twisting my departure
Boiling my foundations as the ashes bleed
The remorse of my demise seeping out my integrity
I have stolen from everyone I know
I rip at the soul until it bleeds
On the ocean in the breeze
I swim frantically although I can’t move
I can no longer see
I hear the drumming of that old guitar
I look around but your to far
A ways into the wind
The deafening silence where no words are spoke
And sound is not my friend
Twirling gravel weeping in puddles of sorrow
Raging and flipping in the stream of life
Sharp stones that eat away at the flesh
Left abandoned descending into the earth
Concrete jukeboxes, gas station photographs
Thunderbolt shackles
Smoky tongues singing the blues
Unwritten manuscripts whirling in my brain
Star filled cemeteries vanishing into the whimsical woods
Keep me at home
Swallow all my thoughts away
Watch my mind disappear
Keep my hands busy so I don't slash my face apart
I come down from the ozone
So I can see me
I don't like to feel
It's much to real
So I take another sip
Down a handful of pills
Close my eyes and scream
As my thoughts spin me around
Then I'm on the ground
Consuming the dirt and debris
That lives inside of me
As weeds sprout inside my stomach
With vines that choke my innards and intrude
I have skin that I use a cover
To protect my sins
I would give you my wings if they would help you fly
In your darkest hour
I will whisper your name
Covered in shades that only we knew
This may be the link to your release
Needing you as the wind grazes your blues
If I had words that could make you belong
They would be long
As I stay here with you
The question I have is simply quite easy
Why would you love someone less ?
If they didn’t conform to your ideas
Why can’t others believe what they want ?
Who are we to say what is right and what is wrong
Is the color of your skin different than mine?
That’s alright we will be fine
I would help you in a instant
If I love the same *** will you hate me?
Looking at me with shame?
Lets all come together
Get and love what we desire
Whiskey beats  my neurons to hell
With the layers of the shadows
I wear to feel safe
Enduring hours of pain
Quietly and secretly tormenting me
Every time my chest forces me to breathe
This war is my inner ache  
Fathers hands researching all that I have
A craving I call my thighs
Sheltering in the fields of what remains
Praying with my forgotten  youth
Completely apart to soon  
Asphyxiating in a accumulation of body parts and debris
It was only tonight
That while kissing my husband
That I remembered that I despise wet lips and kisses
I removed his saliva with the back of my hand
Whiskers rubs is what he called them
At first it was playful
Eskimo kisses
Daddy's lap
His tight jeans
Some soft lotion
A movie
But why again tonight?
Beautiful darkness
Lighting strikes the stones
As my mouth unpeels
Liquefy on the edge of hope
Descending toward imagines of my ghost
My weapons are my words

Spiritually sickened
Convulsing with electritcy as it undresses my wounds
Comatose hallucantions howled
Unhinged  calamity of the naked shivered sky
As the womb needs its whiskey high
Birdlike flapping my anxieties away
The twine is weak morally I will drown
My bones begin to find me as I go down
Arms and legs that no longer move
As my eye lashes begin to kiss the night
My teeth and lips will never feel a kiss
Looking out the windshield of sobriety
Entwined lovers drunken mourners
I beg of you to slit my tears
Just a quick note I do not believe in drinking while pregnant. I do however feel what its like to struggle with this problem. I have been clean for 287 days . I also never drank well pregnant. Also sorry about the pronunciation.
He wrote plays and tears them up
Smoked to much and talked to fast
I would curl up on his chest as he spoke of old  English literature
I admired his mind and lusted for his knowledge
His skin was defined  every furrow told a tale
Deepset eyes with a whiskey tint
As I lay  in the ditch
With whiskey tingling my breath
A chill rained into me, as I  drown  into my hair
Tall grass swirls around entrapping me
Plant me like a seed, with melting whispers
As whiskey trees made of  fireworks, unfold my despairs
Don’t be silly yes I adore you
I drown myself in the days that I’m away from you
I recall when I couldn’t sleep without you by my side
But I often feel this heave of sadness invade my heart
So suddenly tearing me apart
I want you I would also like my mind
Perhaps you float inside of me
Swim in my stomach with the whiskey and pills
That at one time I never knew
But pain is so real since you been gone
Everything seemed to lose its appeal
Except when I’m numb because then I feel
My lips are coated with white coated pills
But they desire your kiss
My eyes have no sparkle and my voice has no sound
You were the only thing I never did wrong
Why
Why
Writing gives me a reason why

It gives me a reason to survive

Putting my words on paper

Perhaps I shall not die

The purpose is to reveal the  truth

That hides inside and masks the lies

Words form to be my salvation

You tell me why
The secrets penetrated the lips of townspeople
Painted widow's weeds, now sketched with despair
Flames in the cellar, stale with wool pansies
Suppressed as weeping willows
Lipstick streets
Chinese  lullabies
Grooving reminisming
Playing and delaying
Hide and seek with a lunatic
A minefield in my mind  
Attractive perceptive
Discarded,battered
Wine hair weeping
Spoken and used
I'm waiting desperately
To have a human connection with life
A mortal syringe delicious on drunk desire
Drifting in this desolate universe
Wings on the shadows of faded vigor
With a syringe of confidence that don't last
A purging of delicious poetry
As I get lost in the twilight
Stamping,  splintered,  limbs, with sins of temptation
Clinging to the flesh of demise
The taste of compulsion asking for asphyxiation
Painting winters wind, on pieces of a angels breeze
Wearing pride into the dancing sea
Unfolding the bruises  into thee
Lonely clouds descending with winter teeth
As sorrows are born into my voice  
Tiny birds are blindly stripped of wings
Hands with cracks, crushing the depths of rewired love
Blue sugar reflects the breath
Inhaling seeded secrets, of the splintering death
Painted with exhaustion, gasping with the pressure of expectations
Flesh stamped with grief ,misplaced with a hollow seam
Walls of bruises blistering the demons in my dreams
Just a quick note I have had no sleep don't mind the punctuation and oddity
I ate my lover bones
With shards inside of me
I feel him next to me when I sleep
I saved a bone to wish upon
Perhaps it will come true
As a tree has ripened  inside me
Twigs of fatigue
That are soulless
Raw and released
My hands are oppressed
My reasoning is heavy
I'm aware that I'm,  ready to succumb
My flesh is inflamed, frenzied, and moist
A fervent appetite for you scorching inside
Our lips fasten as I ****** your mouth
Your hands are greedy and anxious
My fingers trace and roll on your face
Suckling your neck as I  worship you
Your seductive eyes glistening
Inviting lips pouty and full
Curvaceous and refined,  I touch your milky skin
I want to flow into you

My ******* become firm as you pinch and feast
Glistening from your taste
Peeling back my needs
As your tongue spirals around my heat
Hips rotating and lifting
Clamping unto you as you tease
A tide ruptures in the middle of me
Provoking lascivious thoughts
Whimpers escape gripping you

Your majestic body flushed
As your inviting lips kiss my womanhood
A unity for our  intimacy
Your virility entering inside my mouth
Taunting as you pull me near
I savor your flesh as you thrive

Filling the center of me
Your rising inside my passage melting inside
The dampness from our devotion
Interweaves you into me
The raw sunlight pounding on my neck
Throbbing air, painfully cloudy
Wooden lips that rip my tongue
Hands that grain pieces of deception
Clattering roots, with pounding bones
Polluted words giving me blisters in my head
A blind stillness,  captured me
Portions of creations, harboring hate
Callous and raw fists fluttering
Eyes trembling into my skull
With a sadness that I shall not have at all
