The Stranger Woman



Lingering about
Suddenly motionless
An exaggerating wind
Swims around
The very ends
Of threads that hang off skin.
Clasping your arms
Around an invisible charm
Unnoticeably peering at the world that engulfs us.
The eye keeps his watchful stare
On a thick dream.
With lurking movements
Shifting and swooping
Making your way towards the bottomless pit
Imploring an inexcusable wish.
An eye keeping his notions clear
Summons the song be heeded
And the dream is slipping through time.
Keeping the essence of a harvesting world
Grasp the soul of the eye close
Clutch the dream closer.

Sestina

Everyone is handed a secret life
Some may be way and some maybe hard
But everyone has the chance to be bright
That is where our individual’s lives break
The broken bits that you cannot tie
But we can get closer; we surely can

For our lives our empty like a tin can
That begins to fill all thought our life
We cannot choke ourselves with a small tie
And yet our lives aren’t always free; but hard
The task in our life is to just take a break
And to breathe in the sun fumes; charming and bright

Every child has the potential to be bright
When someone says they can’t; we know they can
Though something in the process may shockingly break
That is exactly what we call life
Some expect it to never be this hard
But life can never be a smooth musical tie

Some expect life to be an even tie
Where birds are chirping and the sun is bright
People are smiling and looks are never hard
And the only answer is yes you can
They wake up every morning loving life
And their hearts can never quiver or break

Let me be the one to interrupt and break
This fantasy world with no knots or ties
People need to realize this is life
This is no TV. show; where stars are bright
So why are we here? To prove that we can
To move away the rocks; heavy and hard

So let the concrete thought in your might set hard
Let the perfectionist grasp easily break
But don’t waste your whole life sitting on the can
Find the middle of the rope where it meets and ties
Then finally your mindset can be bright
Then you will find the balance in your life

The world is hard; it’s not like tying a tie
Sometimes we will break; feel helpless and not bright
It is then that we must say we can; for this is life.

Exquisite

How can you be so blind?
Blind and exquisite are your flaws
Flaws although few, you brighten with a smile
Smile; for you are exquisite
Exquisite and yet do you flaunt this? You don't

Don't hush me
Me, who is your eye and look
Look at what we are created
Created this turbulence of what we are

Are we happy? They ask
Ask since I've been upheld
Upheld and have glided like you

You are exquisite

A name

A black and white woman stands on the edge
Feet buried, water still, coming up to the shore.
Footprints surround her, stamped by each one.
She displays a short skirt, held by a white button
A U.S Navy shirt, received from her lover.
Hair, pulled back away from her glowing face by a head band,
Rests bountifully on her neck; full, wavy, dark.
Her figure is divine, stocky legs broad chest
Decadent chin and check bones.
She stares down while her lover snaps;
His gaze upon her.
A smile; knowing she is loved
A smile filled in their world.

I am

I am a tea woman
I am a photograph woman
I am a Pisces woman
I am a giraffe woman
I am a green woman
I am a sweets woman
I am a singing woman
I am a curly woman
I am a low maintenance woman
I am a morning woman
I am a strawberry woman
I am a future woman
I am a cougar woman
I am a daisy woman
I am a Sunday woman
I am a new woman
I am a turtle woman
I am a summer woman
I am a dog woman
I am a working woman
I am a music woman
I am a words woman
I am a sign woman
I am a walking woman
I am a faith woman
I am a hand-me-down woman
I am a living woman
I am a Blackbird woman
I am a water woman
I am a big dipper woman.

Reveille

The overwhelming truth and awareness shocks your senses
You don't dare widen your view
Averse at what will be discovered
Muscles tense; beg to be stretched
You breath, as your upper body lifts to the ceiling
Exhale and sink back into your cave
Toes reach for the cold exposure
Arms extend to clutch the air
Then again compress your body like a slinky being pulled and pushed back together
The informer howls in your ear, a never ending sharp reminder
But you treat it as the if the wind just swept through the window
Immersing yourself into the dark oblivion
You feel the warmth of your body and breath
The time elapsed is unknown
But your mind, body, and soul pleads for more and laments.

Dormir

Goodnight.
Give everything I need to make the children smile
Filled with the knowledge to have them never look down.

Goodnight.
Let the happiness that will sustain me for the rest of my life rush through me like a coaster drop.
That the grasp of untangled fingers is the completeness millions seek.

Goodnight.
A nomad on the earth, time after time through the slick burning sky,
with the never ending push for whats to come.

Goodnight.
Find the passion that's hidden under the skin.
Find the hardship that's worth the work.

Goodnight.
Let the days melt upon you with hope and self-worth.
Let the world see what i see in our reflection.

Goodnight.
