This thing of beauty,
This sweet-scented orange rose,
Tenderly I kiss.

If silence was a language—
I’d speak it for you.
Words can’t replace the feeling,
inside this beautiful turmoil—
the uncertainty of the storm,
as I sit centered and calm,
patient with silence, keeping faith—
a caged bird, refusing to leave;
a stray dog, waiting at the crossing.
I’ve started falling
into your embrace,
the only harbor I wish for
to see the end of days.

People sometimes say that ‘two minds are better than one’
and this is especially true when they are having some fun.
They take pleasure in the joy that to each other bring
and if the heart is involved it’s a highly valued thing.

I try swimming in the deep end
Y
Am I kidding
When I can barely crawl?
Aim high to feel low
Shoot for the stars; I'm somewhat moronic
hypochondriac psychotic asthmatic
Can you tell by the scars I've drawn on
And my masochistic vehicle?
Got a list of what I'm tryna do
Tryna reach my goals;
An exaggeration of my fragmented mind
onethingtwothingthreebacktoonethingbecauseIcantforgetonething
My perilous thoughts.
No concentration makes for just conversation
In that I lose myself

You had obsession with cats
You found cats cute
You remembered three cats from your childhood
They started visiting me in my dreams
A big cat visited me in my dreams when I started falling for you
And ten cats visited me yesterday when I started falling out of love with you
Yo mucho en amo contigo

I am having an affair
with life
cheating on my married
state
which was committed
to ticking the boxes
of social norms
and not a partner
per say

A thing is a thing, isn’t a thing
What makes a thing, a thing?
Is a thing, a thing because
We call it
A thing?
What then of things that
Haven’t found a name?
Does discovery make
A thing?
Then who made us
A thing
Can a thing
Make a thing a thing?
Light is a thing
I see it
Fragrance is a thing
I smell it
Music is a thing
I hear it
Dark is a thing
No thing
Is not having a thing make
A thing?
is a no thing, a thing?
Is
Love
A thing?

early morn (5:00am) scanning, scrolling,
unrehearsed searching and the question
appears in a “loves that got away” column,
*(why do all these descriptors start eith S,
I think I know!)*
and off on another self-effacing, investigative determination, a mental biopsy of another hopeless cause,
that results in poems too long
though the body and mind are rested,
with six hours of uninterrupted sleep,
and volumes of dreams,
the quest bags a burr in the bed,
(yes, rhymes with head)
but n o t h i n g pops in with a grin,
and a bell ring, stating presumptuously,
why that’s me
and the fault failure fear
in me
engorges
this really distresses,
with & in a deep sense of awful,
how can I not recall this momentous
illustrative precious precision
proof of why life is worth living,
and worser still,
don’t I get to choose,
isn't this an interrogatory,
suitable for a pre-provided
Multiple Choice Answer?
a pause to collect myself from a
falling into a hole of nefarious negativity spiraling,
*suddenly
recalling so many
kind and gentle touching brushes
of your comments re my poetry,
which provoked warm tears*
^***and one more tine,
poetry has saved
a life***^

“I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, he's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more“
<•>
ladies
you know ~ I know
these lyrics and the deep cut
and the familiar rut,
they unsecret in our inner chambers
and there is no bandage to
rip off, which/why the cut
never heals
despite your careful care to never
actively seek out the
irritant
but it finds you
in a rom-com
a particular intersection
a advertisement for half zip sweaters
when saying no to a
particular restaurant automatically
and the emotional shake,
not a smoothie,
part horseradish sweet sad,
part bitter herbs, tasteless bread,
spiced with a blend of
angry, self-loathing, regret,
and rage that your emotions
abduct your composure,
and that it still happens
way too often
a pale of regret,
that it was a lost chance,
the kind that come more infrequent,
and you mourn
the building up inside,
an intolerance for risk taking
which once
was your
most favorite
single characteristic
you liked,
about yourself

Every good thing, Lord, comes
Every good thing comes from you
Every day is showered in blessings
Every morning your graces are new
Every night you watch over us
Lord, keep us safe from harm
Every thing I have is from you
Every thing I am is who you are
Every beat of my heart beats for you
Without your love I fall apart
So when life is only clouds and rain
And all I can feel is sorrow and pain
Give me the eyes to see your rainbow
Give me hope and help me to grow
For, in the ultimate act of derision
Came a far more perfect vision
You took the cross designed for shame
And made a bridge out of the same
In death you destroyed sin and death
And in the span of the very next breath
You restored us to life and made all things new
For, every good thing Lord, comes from you

Look out,
across time, go
windborn in our mind being,
look out,
into the depths of ever being,
rethink the processes time used,
reimagine the silence at the moment.
All for us to have our own being in,
confined in common sense of the we
the one we of us since ever was a time,
before now, and later, still,
this same concurrency of events…
our crossing point in time.
Instants of peaceable knowing, growing
into states of conscious knowing use.

~ one more for patty m. ~
slept late after dancing with my devils, from,
from the wee, until a pealing pearl from the Earl of Dawn,
recovering from an intrusion~invasion~brain~regurgitation,
and it’s nearly 9am, sipping my first cuppa Hawaiian,
& woke to a repost of a ten year old wondering plea(1)
makes me think “This old thing,” poem, like a fav
frock/suit that still drapes perfectly, and yet draws the
***** admiration and drippy drawling yummy compliments,
gracefully, gratefully demurred with them three words,
& it’s 8:39am, Bruce pitching in with “Born in the USA”
recipe for a new thank u Gawd poem to make room for
a fast~break diet for an old man with a rebuilt ticker, this
very emission~transmission of a verbal politesse writ going
some where, cooked on a medium slow burner fueling dressed up seeds of heartfelt appreciation made of ancient oat grasses
birthing a poem~child of thanks to the Lawd for one more day,
opportunity, the five sense’s delivery gratitude and gratifications, and the desire to intertwine the sights, music, a crisp blue November Sky, the need to bleed brew these words into a fulfilling,
second moment mug, for the pearls and Earls
of poetic humans

You love me,
But I don't love you,
I love him,
But he doesn't love me.
What goes around,
comes back around.
I guess I deserve that,
I stabbed you in your back,
And look he has done the same,
All I have is shame.
What goes around,
comes back around.
You gave me everything,
I gave you something,
He gave me nothing,
And I gave him everything.

I guess I am in my bag,
I hate to be a drag,
I do not want to nag,
I just need a rag.

When we met I thought I felt something
When we kissed I swore I felt a zing
But I was wrong about everything
Because you left me like I was nothing

i trust no more,
my body is torn,
and my heart on the floor.
betrayal has a bitter taste,
my time was a waste,
and you left without a trace.
fool i am,
my love was not worth a ****
and your care was not even a milligram.

To what died by my own hands
Dreams reduced to sand
