Brambles Of ThoughtFramed moments zoom, a night of review
as vignettes glide on frazzled woodland
of her mindscape like leaves brushed
in violet before moonlight’s pause.
Every motion, every image bursts
into tints of life- stages...
Embers within her flash: a peachy tot
screaming for jelly ; eighth birthday flops,

do you remember
do you remember
do you remember...
there were
empty stairways of two flights or more
the sweet aroma from the candy store
endless chatter floating free
from laughing people…like you and me
stolen kisses in the afternoon
on a borrowed blanket from another room
we lost all track of minutes past
hoping minutes and kisses would forever last
do you remember...
there were
raindrops falling all around
and we...

Mirror's Grab
It's too dark for her.
She daubs mascara on glass.
The mirror has no arms...
Night's just in the morning.
There existing, the eyes ran
Upon former years, tears
The mood stops, reflecting
Make faces, she's mine
Broken embers from limbs
Vice and crash,
Both's empty blood —
She's twisting surfacing
Barbwire that
Blocks out
Shards...

Nine Months Ago Part 2It's only 2:00 am.
I even waited to take the drugs
till midnight,
so I wouldn't have to fight
an extra 2 hours through the night
Not that it makes much of a difference.
In 4.5 hours my alarm will go off
(not that I really need one)
and I'll continue to just survive
each torturous moment.
The only difference is the daytime
doesn't have the...

Nine Months Ago Part 1These next _ minutes are going to be hard...
I open my eyes
Not sure what time it is,
but I bet I can guess.
The drugs never work
for more than 2 hours,
and the distress from the
pressure in my head and throat
has been suppressing more than
2 hours of sleep a night
for months now -
even with the drugs.
They have...

A Cold Chill Consume
A light springtime shower watering each danity little flower
Reminiscing of a time when we sat on the stoop
swinging to and fro on the porch swing of life
Sharing great memories and dreaming of a time, when we could build our own house and plant a garden divine
I'm missing you my love for each day have...

PeaceFull MusEcologyRadically erroneous monotheists
have mistakenly substituted
our co-infested

ANZAC poem 2..they were sent by those
who sat upon pedestals so high
whose life was sheltered and dry
and saw the new days bright shining light
and they were the ones...
who kept their hands fresh and clean
by sending others to do their evil bidding
in a another's land, a land far from home
no...they were not the ones
who saw...

Yam HaShoahYom HaShoah
(Holocaust Remembrance Day)
Sirens will ring in Israel
Small moment in time
To remember six million slaughtered
Has the world forgotten?
Is our memory so short?
Is history not taught?
The evil of antisemitism
Is raising its ugly head
Even in America

ANZAC poemfrom the cities,
from the towns.
from the farms,
and from all around.
they swarmed in their droves
to sign their names away
to a story that was golden.
to a story that was sold.
so it was said to them;
"you`ll be home in time to sit around the Christmas tree."
"don't be touched by the coward's hand."
"stand up and be a...

Words From the Grave"It's all going to be okay" he would say,
with no scent of doubt in his breath,
even as its aroma reeked from mine,
as I'd blurt out "how can you be so sure?"
I never figured out what made my dad so positive in life,
though I'm positively sure his life wasn't free from trial
and the upsetting...

Plagued By MemoriesMemories of whip-lashing words
steeped me deep into a roil of rancid oil
my soul a weeping blistered sore
my heart a gangrene amputee
pus-green-memories rupture to plague me
infection still oozes from core’s moaning cracks
in a pale cringe I sniffled the floor my confidant
a split lip half-wit tamed by the maim of his...
