Kaleidoscopic ChildLet a child’s gleaming face
be that kaleidoscope,
of blue sea pearl ripples,
spreading green tides of hope,
to dry land hearts in drought
needing tot’s tears to cope...

Not So SupermanYou left your seed
You just walked away from your child
To climb to the mountain top
Is your head stuck in the clouds
You left your gift from GOD
And you never turned back around
To check for a pulse
Or to see if a heartbeat could be found

No Gentle HandsThe master cracks his whip
across the horse’s trembling flank,
pushing the beast to its limits
until the wildness snaps and the horse reacts,
a flurry of chaos beneath the sting.
When silence falls, the master
believes the animal has learned,
believes the wounds are healed.
He reaches out with clean hands,
petting the horse's weary muzzle,
his fingers gentle, but not soft enough.
The horse,...

Betrayal of The SunThere was a time
when you stood at the center of my sky,
and I, small, humble,
gazed upward in awe,
letting your brilliance shape my world.
Every word you spoke carved meaning into silence,
every gesture gave weight to the air.
I was nothing
but a shadow you cast,
grateful for the light.
But I see now
what I could not see then—
the sun blinds...

poof and the pain is goneWho takes brain hits diabolic?
The child of an alcoholic!
With the mind’s botox
Pain’s now in a box
Not flummoxed the kid can frolic

TrustHow can True trust Faith when lies begin to escape,
You are the reason why I hide my face with a Smile or a Cape,
Because I can't forget what you Took and what you keep Taking,
My Heart keeps on breaking daily, that is why I am Inhaling,
These Drugs I Breath,
I just can't Believe,
Life is full of...

A Kid Should Be A KidI know kids should be kids
Too many parents will not allow it
Be quiet whenever you are around
Don’t play too hard or get dirty
And above all, never ever smile too big
I feel so sorry for kids like that
They do not have parents
They have wardens and guards
I say we should just let a kid be a kid
That...

The Doors Of Memories
Wandering in the corridors of my heart
Somewhere in a mystical part
I came across a curious door
But It felt like the life's core
It was decorated with joyful lights
Which had brighten my dark sight
On opening the door, the new world emerge
I entered it as my heart urge
After entering I...

Girly-GirlCrown of gold curls in rainbow wrappers.
Girly-girl, at two, favored to be beautiful.
Eyelids delight to be painted baby-girl green.
Dolly’s lascivious lashes soaked in black ink.
Innocent strawberries dot baby-blue sleeveless top.
Soon, she’ll be strapless, primping at the vanity.
For now, she holds a mirror with her eyes closed;
her reflection not quite perfected; a natural blush
of lips, cherub-cheeks...

Dear MotherFor Dwina, in celebration of Talia's
graduation from high school.
Dear mother, warm around me--
tender home for just this while;
so close together, you and I
I feel good when you smile.
Dear mother, here you've brought me
to this world so vast and bright;
oh, hold me close, protect me
and we'll rest here, for the night.
Dear mother, I'm so hungry--
right away,...

Best FriendBe your own best friend,
Your together till the end,
Let those wounds mend,
Send yourself some love,
It's already been through enough,
It's never given up,
And emptied its cup,
So you could grow up.
Hold a better view of you,
There's really two,
Look deeper, you'll know what to do,
Your...

Disturbing Untold StoryI heard a story today, it felt just like mine,
In this scary, monster city, it made my heart pine.
Someone hurt themselves, tore their own skin, you see.
Yes, a story just like mine, it came right back to me.
You are brave, so much braver than I.
You told your hurt out loud, under the open sky.
My pain,...

Confronting shadowsWhy can't I walk in the garden at night?
Horrible shadows keep blurring my sight ~
They make me run like a man with no balls.
Each time I trip and get bruised from my falls.
These shadows whisper cold fears in my ear,
Now I understand the songs sung by fear,
Yet I must confront these fiery shadows,
But each new...

Body Hate
A stranger lives beneath my skin,
A twisted thing, a grinning sin.
It pulls and prods, it makes me sick,
Another bite, another trick.
The porcelain mocks my face,
A painted lie, a shameful space.
I heave and choke, a bitter tide,
Trying to wash the hate inside.
Each inch I pinch, each bone I crave,
A hollow shell inside this grave.
Duct tape binds,...

Child of LightSmall hands, reaching for a sun,
That hides behind a world undone.
Child of light, with eyes so bright,
Now dimmed by shadows of the night.
A tiny seed of hope remains,
Through bitter winds and pouring rains.
A fragile bloom, it struggles on,
A silent plea, before it's gone.
Remember now, this tender face,
Lost in a world, devoid of grace.
Protect the flame,...
