  • Poem: Not Like This

    I will not end up like you. No way will I let this happen.Not now, not ever, not in any form.I have many reminders of the pain.The images can blur together.You weren’t there?Are you sure? Trust me.I wasn’t there.I wish I had been where you were.I didn’t taste the local food.My lips ate dry food.The…

  • Poem: Fire Burns

    Something imaginable is about to happen. Call on about your weak condition. Help you, please? Help me, instead. Why all the confusion? Don’t know how to feel. You should feel the burning. The long line creates a stretched line. Sadness and fear allows surviving another step. If I am wrong, I will report my own…

  • Poem: Disfigured Much

    You do not make sense.I said to him, “Why don’t you listen to me?I have many good things to say about you.”He only stared at me,not saying one word, not giving me any clue to how he felt.I start to think I am inferior.I thought, “What do I have to do to matter?”Maybe, rip off…

  • Poem: The Cars Go By

    They are all different colorsSome flashier than othersSome rusty on their doorsOthers with snow stuck underneathClouded purple in the backseatCut black moving fast in the frontLike the speed of bright lightThe people gather around the sceneThe scene of many photosThey got there all right The empty circle filled with gossipThe number of people amazedThey whiz…

  • Poem: Ready or Not

    I can’t feel my emptinessDays have bleed into one block of cheeseMy life stinks like the blue around meThere is no way to rip it apartThe solid rock has done its jobNobody knows what might happenI can’t hear the whispersThe stars are bright tonightBright as car headlights on these streetsThis messiness belongs to usEveryone is…

  • Poem: Hunger

    My appetite is as high as the stars.I am hungry today.The big dipper is my guide.This is a full-blown empty stomach.All this growling and groaning must be heard.I am hungrier than ever before.My mouth is certain.You are not what I crave.This is not a luxury to fantasize.The weekend if not my enemy.I have to see…

  • Poem: I’ve Never Been

    As a one-day explorer as those before me that didn’t perishafter a few months of toiling the soil and praying for sunshine.They closed their eyes and dreamt of better days ahead.The frigid air sliced through my clothes because I didn’t think properly that morning. I haven’t been in this kind of weatherfor a while and…

  • Poem: Under the Full Moon

    As I stand under the moon, I imagine it pulsing, out and in, full of life, a kind of life I can’t see but knows deep inside me that it is there, out and in. It has to be there because alien life can’t be any other way than what is in my mind from…

  • Poem: Wrap Me Around the Year Coming Up

    When the chill comes over me, I know I’m not alone.I see you coming behind me and catching me when I want to fall.Thank you for being there for me tonight.It’s not every night when I feel safe around you.The nights where you are missing in action, I wonder where you are.If you are out…

  • Poem: Next Flight

    This is a bumpy ride.I expect nothing else.This is how life moves.The worst.I strap on my seatbelt.Tilt my head back.Close my tired eyes.I am in pain.The dread.My teeth ache.The person next to me sleeps.I am glad.No one needs to know.My body weakens.The future is in the back.The purity.I touch my face.It is cold.I expect more.This…

  • Poem: Now is Not the Right Time

    The big screen on the wall shows a different time.Now is the not the right time to get all scared.The stage you’re standing is the big league.Stick that gum or chew into your mouth.Don’t swallow either one because it will make you sick.Open your mouth and start making sense with your words.The weak light in…
