A frenzy of words descend Inexhaustibly streaming Torrents, rivulets, dripples, a drop A trickling faucet tapped wordless Setting my mind adrift to places other than this Unmoored, untethered from tidings Waves lapping at memories Drifting on watercolor dreams A yachter catapulted To distant shores of amour A sigh, a breath, a fluttering sail Blue waters…

A Leap of Faith
Notoriously, her own worst enemy Riddled with ongoing insecurities I can’t I’m not good enough What a farce She chides Frozen in self-doubt A hindrance no doubt She wavers Dizzyingly on the edge Dangling on the precipice Of change Clashing affirmations and negations A powerful mental tide I can’t You can Just do it A falter,…
Unbelievable!
He spoke freely Unapologetically No expert collaboration Hoping words weren’t taken literally Thoughts expressed Without a qualm Words exploding like a bomb No rhyme or reason Just a whimsical Shalm Flowing like the Somme An uncontainable river Lapping capriciously Without a qualm On brazen shores Of his tongue His aplomb Unbelievable!

A second, yet imperfect draft Pursuant a wordless funk A haze of psychedelic pink Blocks cerebral mazes She sighs Yawns And stretches Pen pinging table Another cup of coffee…
A Vulnerable Writer

Song of Defiance
Defiance reared its might Opposing misogynistic Narcissistic Childish tantrums A malignancy uprooting civil liberties Dividing communities Families Friends Forging factions of divergent citizens Defeated . . . defeat We panicked Joining forces A multitude of cultures Concerned voices Singed defiance Of new rule and executive orders It’s been a rough 100 days Mr. President Now…
The Pursuit of Happiness
None Other than you can fulfill your dreams Nor drive your passions Everything you need resides internally
Tempted
