Just renewed my domain. Three year anniversary, after a dark, nameless slump of antagonostic blank pages. The brief turned into a chapter into an epic Carolyn Forche style. 3 years ago My pen alive again So inspired I kissed you And every time my lips parted Words tumbled secrets Buried into your beard The greatest…

(this love is homemade) [micropoem]
There’s a warmth in your mouth, your kiss, unlike others – a sense of belonging, fitting; you taste like home.
Pumpkin Spice [micropoem]
Like the discarded jack o lanterns Marking the season, I walk, a woman carved out, Without love or reason.
[rhythmic winds] [a micropoem]
So quieted Even my soul can’t fathom The sound of music So I dance to the songs of the earth [Her daughter]
you called for me (a micropoem)
I awoke snuggled into your mind, Clutching your brain close under me, My pillow. Let me stroke ease into your heart, Kiss your third eye, And straddle your [root] chakra To bring you back into the heavens Of our personal dimension. Skin to skin, Soul in soul, I’m here to hold. . . . ….
(They ask me how is my husband) [a micropoem]
Wrapped up in a type of permanence No alloy band or stamped certificate Could ever every convey, We made camp in one another But, accidentally, called it “home.”
(I don’t sleep with the lights on) [a micro poem]

A Poem a Day, Pt. II
This throwback Thursday tosses backwards a little over two weeks to thank Unfold for publishing another one of my micropoems, (broken). If you haven’t much time but still an appetite for poetry, I, again, recommend checking them out for your dose of prose. In the meantime, the poem as published with them is featured below….
see you as I [a micropoem]
We will be lost of each other In the next world If we don’t learn to recognize ourselves Beyond these bodies we visit. You’ve seen mine – Show you yours.
The Danger of Loving is that You Learn to Live in Truth [micropoems]
I’ve seen monuments built to strength Crumble and fall Bring men to their knees In anger of the pain I know it all too well For even the soundest of structures Cannot emulate the courage Of a beating heart. It’s okay to stand up, darling The Phoenix is no myth But what becomes of a…
love does not exist in this world where people live by fear and ego.
(Black and white) I shared my soul, opened mind, arms, and heart and in the end, lost those too: I didn’t look the part. (warfare) Fatalities: Hope. Love. Faith. They lie here Struck down by the failure of believing In the beauty of one’s spirit To transcend the beauty of the shell for its journey….
