Bubble Dweller

When you exhale
Into my life
I become
Nothing more
Than
A bubble dweller

Sometimes you inflate
My dwelling with
gentle whispers
Of wind...

Increasing my self
Esteem with every
Every breath

I rely on you
For my
Habitat

But is this fair?
What if you're not
Conscious?

What if you
Forget
I live here?

What if you get
tired of blowing 
Bubbles?

Will I 
Cease to
exist?


Does my 
happiness
depend on

The strength 
Of your
Lungs?

I long to be
Free
Outside the transparent
Walls

Connected to 
More than
Just you


At last my dwelling 
Has bursted
I'm independent
Of you


Now you are
The proud owner
Of a bursted
bubble

Please morn me
And wish it wasn't
Over

Reload your
bubble making gun
Gently breath
In my solution

Until I pop
Find new life
For I am a bubble dweller

And you are
An engineer
Of bubbles

My Raven, My Alloy

Dear vibrant artist
Magic is bestowed on you
Master transformer
Lead the way through the dark night
Your call illuminates souls

Stock Market

I make profit
I cause loss

I shoot up
I slide down

I change
I remain the same

I get applauses
I get screamed at

I am owned
I am released

Invest in me
I am a stock market

Awaken

Sun dried earth melting
Branches welcome buds of green
Hibernation ends

Kayaking

Out on the water kayaking
Slowly tracking
Gentle movements
Practicing improvements
Suddenly the wind picks up
At first a small hiccup
Must seek solid ground
Before I drowned
Stay focused and unafraid
Good plan laid
Each stroke leads to shore
So I paddle a little more
The storm is here
I feel the fear
Rain comes down
From all around
Making it hard to see
What’s in front of me
So I ask for help
It’s heartfelt
Suddenly a boater appears
Out of nowhere, Cheers
I am saved
This experience engraved

Randy

There once was
A man
named Randy
Night after night
I gave him candy.......

I fell for his
republican
demeanour
It actually made me
Keener

I loved his buttoned
Up shirts
and this is what
drove me
to flirt....

His trifling stare
All his grey hair
Added even more
flare

I begged him to love
me
I begged him
to hug
me....

To which he grinned
and said much
To my chagrin
I need no wife
I have a life!

Relativity

To All you Pythagorean's
I love your triangles
Figuring your area
gives me conclusions.
I reach for the fourth
dimension
And shadows fill my
head,
Welcome guests that
are dead.

Spring

Heart anticipates
Being barefoot again soon
White turns to colour

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Awhile back my Doc suggested
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Would be time well invested

I looked at him and said,
My personality is not defective
Why bother 
Being reflective

So it took awhile for me
To see
All our thoughts
Are key

Avoidance, negativity and
Distorted thinking
Have always left me with
A feeling I was sinking

Now I'm skilled at
Challenging my perception
And this has lead
To a big correction

To My Father

Thine mortgage is a montage 
Teachers, Angels, God
I return to You
Wings clipped
Ready to Heal
Killing egos
Slaying dragons
Thank you
For seeing
Me through
Everything
From sitting
On soggy
Ground to
Wearing my shame
I want You back
For you Saved me
From myself
