No words
Churning gut of worry
Wondering if you are ok
If you are hurt
If you need help
And can’t say
You say that it’s fine
But the word choices aren’t you
And the worry ratchets up
Are you under duress
Or is it some mood I haven’t seen
I’m inches away from doing something foolish
Or brave
You can never tell which
Until after
poetry
Waiting for ascension
She looks
Eyes brushing mine
Begging
Pleading
I’d change it all
If she said Please
If she said
I want what I desire
She deserves so much more
Than she’s settled for
Immobile
I smile
And say
It’s your decision
Yes and I come

A dancers gait
Swirl in golds and green
Livid colors burning
Faces wan with yearning
Dancers take the stage
Each twist
Each turn
In burning
Passion making form
Becoming function
Step into arms
Whirled out
Sun baked breezes
Choice for the choosin

Still dark freeway
Green white letters flashing past
Too quick to read
Beams of light blinding
Mirrors reflecting twin beams of migraine
Slouch not enough to escape
Share this:
Red shift echo
I’m on the last train
Heading anywhere but here
Painful memories steep in the bones of this place
Seeking new horizons
New people to call home
Trailing behind
The ghosts who can’t let me sleep
Dawn’s on the horizon
And I’m not there yet
Small towns too quiet
Without your voice to take up the silence
Running away
Instead of running to
Not sure when I’ll get there
But I know I’ll miss you.

Poor substance substitute
Needing touch
Sequestered in sunlight
Hurt envelopes
Heat permeates
Pressing in
Pressing down
Cats frolic, afraid
Sounds too loud
Alone
Wind shakes green
Off white walls like a seaside resort
Sounds muffled
Incomplete
Resigned
At home
No one is waiting

Adrenaline collapse
Anxiety response stuck on fight
Words come too fast
Tripping
Trying to keep up with
Mind racing
Fighting urge
To leap the desk
Quick
Quick
Quick
Step away
Adrenaline crash
Shakes quiver through hands
Heart racing
Headache tighter and tighter
Strength floods out
Muscle weakness
Fatigue sets in
Feeling like the first time
Odd what time does to us

Discovery of sounds
New music course through veins
Melodies unknown pulse like heartbeat
Falling in love with the unknown
Drink down instrumentals unfamiliar
Best feeling
Finding beauty
All unexpected

Hard to see through the fog(possible trigger)
Controls who you talk to
Controls where you go
Just wants you safe
Doesn’t trust those people
Monitors your messages
Monitors your social media
Just wants you safe
Doesn’t trust your judgment
Treats you with silence
Treats you with derision
Just wants you safe
You make bad decisions
Controls your movements
Controls your access
Just wants you safe
Doesn’t trust you
Monitors your conversations
Monitors your media consumption
Just wants you safe
Can’t have you reaching conclusions
Treats you like furniture
Treats you like a tool that furthers goals
Just wants you safe
Can’t have you knowing your worth

Selling the fiction
Show this paradise
Blown out of proportion
This facile lie
Given shape in our minds
“I need a vacation”
Like that will help
Everything waiting on the way home
Find out the problems
The stressors
The energy vortexes
Pare them away
Until only you remain
Rather walk
Your hand in mine
Than take a thousand trips
Without you
