How quickly
We forget
After birth,
After crawling,
After
Walking,
That we were born to
Hold one another.
To comfort and lift,
To help one another.
And as it was, is,
And ever will be;
Love.

On
Heartbeats stop
Teardrops
Drop.
The world keeps moving
On and on.
Nov28
Hit
You
Knocked the breath out of her.
Hands hit skin,
Words hit heart.
She was fearful
Of everyone.
Scared to speak.
Scared to move.
To say the wrong word,
To give the wrong look.
Her legs always shaking step by step.
Heaven forbid a tear should fall
(You damn crybaby)
Her voice so small
(Speak up! Speak up! But only when I tell you to!).
Eyes on the floor.
Walk so very softly.
(Become the wallpaper upon the wall
Your fingers never touch)
When She breathes, if she breathes,
Hold it, listen.
(What the hell are you wearing?)
Do not move another step
Until
Television volume up high
To mask the sound of her
Existence.
(They walk among us)
The controllers and abusers,
The controlled and abused.
And Momma always said
You never know what goes on behind
Closed doors.

Intimate
These most intimate moments
Cannot be put into words.
They do not need to be shared
With others.
They remain here,
Weightless yet filling
The heart.
Nov24
Word
I have felt every word
He writes.
I collect each letter;
Capital and lower case,
Exclamation points,
Question marks and all.
I put them in my heart.
Little folded notes of love and disdain.
Magic spells to remind
Me
I am not alone.
And I tiptoe and
Dance to his lyrics
When I am solitaire.
Sometimes
In the forest
Under the moonlight too,
With a passion free.
Just me
And his
Smile when I close my eyes.
Tingling and giddy I cannot help but
Fall into an endless spiral.
Down into the
Moss beneath my feet.
Secret bliss.

Oblivion
He is the sun,
Sometimes a storm.
Either way he warms my heart;
Heat shared in
Solar flares
And
Static lightening.
And he restarts my heart
With a word or a touch,
When my breath has caught in
My throat.
When he sees the uncertainty
In my eyes.
Embracing,
We disappear
Into oblivion.
Nov17
Shook
We all have to be shook
Up
In different ways to
Awaken.
And then the choice is yours;
To stay awake
Or go back to sleep.
Nov16
Playground
Cold.
Winter time on the
Playground.
The
Metal bars hurt my bare skin
But I would keep playing.
Keep swinging, moving.
Laughing out loud just to see
The mist appear from my lungs.
It was like magic.
Forgetting my fingers were now numb.
Because the joy overrode
The hurt.
Life.
Nov15
True
True believer.
Love.
Transparent skin.
Vulnerable heart
Visible within.
Keep beating,
Keep loving.
Do not allow the
Naysayers
To get in your head.
Nov14
Other
Don’t break
down don’t
break down
Going round and round
In my head.
My other self
Laughing at me in my mind.
Hold it steady.
Be ready to bolt.
No
Looking back.
Keeping my eyes on the
Closest exit;
The path
Is clear and free of obstructions.
Chole Into Diamonds
