To My Mother
God couldn't be everywhere, and so he created mothers. Anonymous.
A red headed little girl were you
Special to this world

Hair with bouncing . . .

Morning Sounds All Around: Catalog Poem
Maddening ring of the clock that was not turned off.
Television mumbling in the next room.
Wheezing cough.
Grumbling of a late night teenager.

Frustration
Searching for answers
Blindness leads the way
Hands outstretched and feeling
Through the crooked maze
At the end of the line
Solutions hoped by the seeker
Remedies of comfort . . .

Hush Now
Hush now don't you cry
Try so hard and laugh through pain
All will go away

Emotions come like the tides

Were do we come from
Dysfunctional childhood cry
Mad, spitting violence
Soul born into world
Silence leaves one all alone
Sadness sweeps like tides

I am from two loving parents
My mother image, my father’s athletic skill
I come from many places
Sometimes confusing

These eyes can only
From afar observe
The tales of hearts
True love she deserves
Sweet and gentle
An angel face
Sharing her soul
Unfaithfulness shooks its base

Liking the passing of our hands
Over your . . .

You all know I'm crazy
Therefore I must be right
When I plead and beckon . . .

You were my turning point
Nudging me to the top of the mountain
I saw the summit.
Everyday a training ground
Together we stumbled, new strength gained
With richness developing . . .

I deluged you with affection
Bestirred your bathetic soul
There was erotic, sexual passion
Two hearts merged into a whole
I your inamorata
Was ravishing to your . . .

Implosive depression fills the . . .

Heads bobbing in unison
The air is hazy from smoke
Inhale deeply to ride the wind
Jack burns sliding down my throat
Swallowing down reality

Dear Father
Daddy, on this father's day
There are so many words to say
For all the things
I've needed to survive
In this adult world
I've so endlessly tried
So sorry . . .

Therefore, I am from brilliance
Pigs are smart
I am from dead brain cells
From many nights of drugs . . .
