i suppose i really should
write something
exquisitely dainty and
poetic, like:

the breath of butterflies,
moves me beyond
the trials of daily life.

but standing here,
barefoot,
in the kitchen,
on crutches,
with my crying
toddler on the bench
and his breakfast
on the floor, along with
one hundred plus shards
of broken glass and ceramics
all i can truthfully write is:


****!!!

but at least the cat is happy.
broke my leg at end of jan
so this is a broken leg moment
and *** there are many others.

I read a significant amount of poetry each day.

It does not matter if their telling a story, sharing their story or that of a friend.

I don't care if their completely ******* in their feelings... I get it!

It does not matter if their on earth, another planet or in the skies....

We can be some where and everywhere at the same time.

and

I don't care if their
off the wall,
completely insane,
love stricken,
obsessed in love,
obsessed in hate,
belligerent,
spiritual or sane.


Understand

Most of us, is one, if not all of these things.

I praise the creative minds who is able to bare what infects their souls to a world of judges, strangers and on lookers.

There are two
But should be three.
Little he? Little she?
I never knew.
Sometimes it catches me,
A scent of a memory
Taking me back to those first months of joy...
Little girl? Little boy?
I wrote you a journal
Charting happiness and hopes
Dashed in moments
By a still and silent screen,
And a heart wrought silent scream.
The pain has never left,
I still mourn
Ever bereft,
Little lady? Little man?
Where a mother first began.

Love's Duality

tempestuous heartache
   & sundried tears
exhaled whispers
   & combustible caresses

unilateral monogamy
   & bipolar love
singular sensations
   & conjoined sensuality

degrading hopelessness
   & elevated vulnerability
decelerated time
   & soaring spirituality

It was the
RIGHT
Thing to do
Why do I feel so

WRONG?

I just feel as though my heart is broken in a zillion places!

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at ****** are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love

beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to **** you
to **** anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock

their finest art

She's dark, yet
moonlight glows
inside her soft-eyes
& despite her
tragic-aura,
I still want
her blackness,
to taste her magic,
to kiss
the devil inside her.
