A hermit at heart. When in the mood I love meeting new people. Don’t be shy to say “hello”. I am a mom of four and I am in a loving relationship. I want to become a better writer. I love to analyze and decode difficult or hidden, between the lines, reads. I love looking deep into human behavior, it is all very interesting to me. I love to learn from All people, especially odd or quirky fellows. :)

The Parents

Who stole thy heart my darling

What trickery was there done?

The Mother of All Living 
Forgot about The Sun.
 He was a little devious and Wanted to have fun.


The Father was put to punishing

Under Mother’s bitter shun.


He whimpered for...

Virgo Rising

Rising Virgo your innocence is shining. A look in your eyes has invited me to come and play with you. Your beautiful lines don an Oliver Twist that hides a hot burning fire.

The sun dims in shadow when you smile.
The flickering stars shimmer...

Love Plea

Feel my voice call gently, like a Peaceful Dove.
Sparks of life will enter Time to gather Love.
My love, come lay upon my pale naked chest,
We are freed from Eden’s green and idled rest.
Let not the dark powers burn your passion dead,
Black and...

I am not laughing anymore.

The child throws mittens against the wall.
Mom, or no mom, she was cool and withholding.
Daddy use to care until he got the stare.
Purple mittens got lost in the snow.
The repercussion would be too hard to bare.
Knots of worry held the child...

Bubble Gum Ice Cream

When I was little my mom liked to drive her car with an opened can of cold sweaty beer in her center console. My three year old brother, Jay, would always be begging for a taste and I always wondered what they liked about it. That was the...

I look up to Katie Porters and her whiteboard. Also Hana Rawhiti Maipi Clark, New Zealand’s youngest and newest MP. Check her out. Moana vibes for sure. Great poem! I feel sad for the level of ignorance I hold for politics, but through time I will grow.

This is hard for me because I find happiness in the middle of being sad. While whaling out I'll snort a certain way and end up laughing at myself or I'll see an act of mercy so kind I’ll forget the despair. Life is ocean, a wave moving constantly, each change is an emotion, a feeling, an experience. This is happiness to me. Definitely not a place to chase because, yes that is elusive.

I did not grow up with my birth father because he was afraid to be the kind of father his father was to him. My dad is an angry drunk when he drinks, and I only know this because he told me his stories. Only my oldest brother out of us four kids knows our dad’s anger personally. I love your poem. It is raw and beautifully written.

I like a drink every now and again myself, but as you may have guessed from my poem, Cracked Blame, I played with a different poison. My mom tried everything under the sun. Shooting heroin was her favorite. In just the last year I thought I would try smoking everything she tried just to see why. Lol. I have not touched anything for about month and I know I will stay that way. I am happy to understand her a lot better. She passed in 2013 from a heart attack. She was clean five years prior. I have my whole family worried. And one can’t play with fire or will burn.

Well my comment did not post. Lol. I think what I said was this: Every loss of love is worth Its journey. I appreciate you very much for your deeply felt remarks. You are a true gem.

Thank you dear. I love your comments just as they are. I summited this a day or two after we met here. I did not explain myself in this one, did I? It is about my awakening to the monster within. I was naïvely happy before I realized there was not much to be happy about at that conjuncture in my life. Reality had a way of slapping me into perspective. I am very greatful to the Devil, I am. ;)

Your images are so clear and beautifully put. I love reading your words, your stories. It feels as if I am there with you. My tears won’t stop flowing down my cheeks. Ugh…

Yes, yes and yes! I have so many regrets as a young mother and oh how I wish I could rewind time and do it over again for my little seedlings. Your words are so beautifully put. Thank you.
