hung

Rope hangs from my family tree
Dangling from a heavy limb
It used to hold a tire swing
Swaying, wavering with wind

Rope hangs from my family tree
Swaying, wavering with wind
Noose hung— tempting tauntingly
Hanging since a time back then

anything but

Hyper focused on
anything but
Without notice— gone
Back in your rut

You have so much to love
As such, so much to lose
When push comes to shove
It’s never love you choose

Conjure up your newest plan
Desperate— never justified
As you...

another year

Another year
Another chance
To overcome
The circumstance

Another year
Another chance
For you to rise
And to advance

Another year
Another choice
Stay miserable
Perhaps rejoice

Another year
Another choice
Remain unheard
Or share...

grey

I watched your plants flourish
As your garden grew
Greener than green
Now I’m bluer than blue

Nobody will nourish
My mind quite like you
Greener than green
Brightest soul that I...

barely

skeleton
calcified bones
toxic shock syndrome
organ grown stones

flaming black plastic heart
emotions out of whack
schizophrenic mindset
a hypochondriac

sped so high then higher
had dreams that I was flying
dead...

pillow

All I want to do is lay
My head down on your pillow
I know
It will
not ever be the same

Each and every single day
I shed tears for you still though
Forgo
Living
I play the waiting game...

AATB

As cool winds whistle,
the trees' limbs dance.
As day's light darkens,
alone, in trance,
it's all about the boy.

The thunder crashes
while lightning flickers.
Pessimism--
self fearing bickers,
it was about the boy.

A sleeping dream...

sans roots

nurtured by nature
maternal despair
age knew no father
thus limited, bare

found footing in mountains
sans roots, still I grow
beneath water's depths
I rise from below

explored & exploited
layers naked, unsealed
defined...

gunshot!

Perhaps it is to lure
My mother upstairs
It’s better to be sure
So I’m sent up there

Terrified of father
Past validates fears
But me, he won’t bother
Month shy of six years

 
He’s not dead— just sleeping
A comb is in his hand
To fix...

mass of self

hair dances
upon my arms
wind gently loves my body—
my skin

when wading
while waiting
water waves wildly

it crashes
my island—
flooded

my miniature mass of self
of flesh—
trembling

my earth quakes
along no fault...

not like you

It’s early morning when you peek
Into the living room
Expecting that you’ll find me there
It’s to the point that I don’t speak
To stall impending doom
Neglecting what’s in disrepair

If only I was just like you

I love you
Truly love...
