Just a poet who's lost in the sauce.
The key to a good sauce though,
Is to keep stirring

Poetry | Spoken word | Story telling | Writing |
My thoughts can only be pierced with the tip of my pen
Because at the tip of my tongue they are lost and... found again Just as the tip of my tongue starts to tease she moans
Just as she knows she's going to leave as quickly as she...comes

The Ivy has been
#creeping up
the sides of
this home

They're as old
as I am and cling
like a fine tooth
comb

I am being difficult.
Basically I confuse others.
Speaking in short sentences
While noting the flawed logic.

I have read a bit.
Learned nothing.
Lost the grip
Of poetry and reality.

I am not even here.
I am impatient,
Rushing to the end.
I have no true
Idea what I am doing.

Today I heard...

Such a lovely
Little lyrical
Notion

A tale of whitty
Whimsical
Passion

No less, no more
Than Mystical
#Devotion

PSA: If you’re on this app, attacking those on your side who are also on this app, because they’re choosing to remain on another app at the same time, the other side wins.

And that side happens to be full of fascist, rapist, traitor, criminals, who REALLY want us fighting each other.

And not them.

Injected adrenaline
Chasing the dragon
Deadly addiction
Holding a needle like a pen Imagination fades
Replaced with chemicals
Withered botanicals
The dust settles

I want to forget
That I'm not supposed to
Pretend that I am Ninja
Hoping from pillow to couch Cause the floor is lava
Just for a few moments
Let me climb a tree
Or build a spaceship
I want to remember
What it was like to be a #child

Down deep in South Caroline Standing beneath giant pine

Sipping tea from evergreen thistle Entertained by a soothing whistle

Songbirds whisper good morning
Brandnew day presents a yearning

Last sip deep breath count to ten Then listen again to the Carolina #Wren

Whoever stole
my gosh
darn bagel
from the
break room
table
Know this!
I am able and
petty enough
to stoop
to your level
You little
immature knable
I will end your
stable existintence
You shall know
my wrath
and vengeance
Thus will
be the
office fable

Her honeyed voice
were the strings on
her well worn harp

Devilishly angelic yet
so soothingly sweet

The singing siren
playing every note
as if were
my sinking soul

The storm came thundering through
I sat & reminisced thoughts of you Oak trees bended to wind but did not break
My skys fell & raged for heavens' sake
Nothing but the rain clouds and doubt beyond my windows
Trying to decipher the meaning behind each pane, but God only knows

We have written
our own stories
Weathered with
Foolishness and pride

We are well
worn with scars
that we tried
to erase

Yet, with all of these
years behind us
We've taken
them in stride

We have found
ourselves together
my old friend
Once again in
Our rightful place

Familiar girl, I did not know
Similar soul, where'd she go?

A stolen smile is all we remember A broken heart in mid September

Caught between the day dreams Brought back to the folded seams

Lovely world, I thought I knew Vanity lost in autumn's hue

Sweet like
Summertime
Popsicle drips
Sticky fingers
Sweet like
The last sip Of kool-aid Honeysuckle
Picking and
Finger licking
Sweet like
Homemade Ice cream
With fresh
Crushed Cherries
Sweet like
Saturday Morning
Cartoons
And free Afternoons

How awful it is to ban all of these wonderful books
You snarling, sniveling, and conniving crooks
How pitiful it must be to be you
To have your narrow minded worldview be so shook
By the ABCs of LGBTs and Qs
