Why did
we exile
that child that
always smiled?

I implore you,
get riled!

Find your child,
when your imagination
ran wild and wasn't at all
styled.

Beguile,
you cannot be
misfiled,
as an adaptive,
creative child.

Frustration's representations

Frustration is only a sensation
Don't let it change what you think

If you do so,
then it only shows
where you're weak.

Your motivation
will shrink
when you feel
you're on the brink.

Regroup, get in sync.
Sensation comes
and goes
with a blink
of an eye

Hold your breath
and continue to try.

Why are you frustrated?
It's because of how you've
decided to classify.
What do you think
that signifies?

Identify then simplify.
Irrigate your irritation's
stimuli.

Instead of frustration,
look towards it with
gratification.

Bouquet's Applique

I was thinking about you today
the expression on my face?
a dead give a way.
Cheerful as a
wild bouquet.
Like an ice-cream sundae
in the middle of the workday.

When it’s a gust, in a rush
I could still feel you, making like a breeze.
the paralyzing, never-ending brain freeze.
the tinge down each of my small vertebrae
Because of YOU, i felt like the light of the day.
Ahh yes, the foreplay, always underway...

Thank you for being my sleeve’s sweet appliqué.

mountain puddle

nature springs
springs my step
to take a breath
and understand.

He has planned.
This land,
your land, MY land.

Only requirement?
grains of sand.

Masking Tape

They told her she was just a face.

So all the creases & blemishes

made her mind race.

They said she could fix it,

just press erase.

With a brush, make it up just right:

sweep it under the rug

or go under the knife,

it’s just a tug,

and less bags

to lug.

***? that’s not how to give yourself a hug.

Take it off. remove it from sight.

why are you afraid for your face

to see the light?

whisping wishes

kiss me like the wind,

because i know you won’t dwell.

but i will wait for the leaves to spin again

and fall under your spell.

**For we are Twinned.

orange you, blu

My color is orange, like the rising sun.
impulsive and creative every day i've begun
it can be seen in every little thing i've done.
my love isn't gone,
its just like the dawn.
i can play the swan,
or i can play the spawn.
Either way,
life and love is always about fun
and a chance
no matter how bad it hurt.
i hope you still dance.
