Bekah

I am the fire they set,
The one they can’t contain
The whisper on the wind
That calls out your name

I will not break
Or bend, or crack
Paranoia will seep in
Waiting for my attack

I will not go gently
Into the night
I will lurk the dark corners
Deep in your mind

I am the water
That washes away
The sins that you buried
To hide all your shame

Under Cover

Under Cover

There is a mood that digs in deep.
It keeps its head inside my sleep.
Every day it wakes up bright
The rays of knowledge led to my plight.

I opened them, these lines of glee
And saw them piercing inside of me
But the gnat came crawling,
out of my nose….
And began to wash, all my clothes.

Notes – there’s a deep meaning to this…….

World Traveler

An aroma soared.
A French Man’s foot.
The evil eye.
Remove thyne boot….

From peoples’ eyes,
It’s in their face.
My only disguise,
Is a fall from your grace.

A notable – I have no idea what it is…..

Me worry?

1d Peter Garrett

Drab

Me worry?

Why worry about being miserable now?
When I’m supposed to be miserable forever after now.
Seems counter-productive.

Fading disguise

Fading disguise

Smiling for the screen,
my disguise held tight.
Hiding cracks
beneath the light.
Inside, I break,
worn and bare.
A fragile truth
too hard to share.
Drowned in the tide
of distant stares,
A sea of strangers,
unaware.
The real me crumbles
beneath the weight,
A soul adrift,
Resigned to fate.

the last of my kind

the last of my kind

I cried
yesterday

and what little
was buried inside

got out—

spilled all over
the floor,

flooding the walls,
the windows,
and the doors,
dripping from tables,
chairs,
and pillows

at my feet.

And how I stood
there in silence,

hearing the clock
tick and talk,

waiting for
someone—
anyone—

to come and
save me.

It's only been
thirty years.

I want to fall in love, I do

2d Peter Garrett

naomi

I want to fall in love, I do

I want to fall in love, I do
But I know it’ll make you cry
When I don’t say it back
You’ll still smile
Say “it's fine”
I know it’s not—
I can’t even say it to my mom.

I want to fall in love, I do
I know it’ll be easy
Right at the first touch
But you’ll be left picking up the pieces
Of someone who self-destructs.

Moneyball, let’s play two….

Moneyball, let’s play two….

Throw the money
Into the sea.
Run real fast.
Away from me.

NOTE – Unless we are talking badmitton…..

RIP E. Banks (Let's play two!")

Non- medical Advice (disclaimer)

The doctor said I have “floating bodies” in my knee.
They were going to do surgery, but felt some of them might still be alive.
They didn’t want to take a chance.
Neither did I.
