Write to me dear loveless
and write to me, the loved
and tell me all the stories
that you’re dreaming of
Tell me when you wake
and tell me when you sleep
each passing breath and moment
please share, for me to keep
Write to me the reckless
and write, the pensive too
letters of your passions
and what you love to do
Sign it with an “X”
or sign it with an “O”
write to me dear humans
and let those feelings go.

Happy Valentine's Day
Roses are dead
violets are too
cliche love poems
don’t remind me of you
I tried oh so hard
to fall flat on my face
so next time I see yours
I’ll greet it with mace.
Just keep going,
the blood pulses in your ears,
you can barely see,
adrenalin pushes you an inch further, one after another.
You can taste the mud and sweat,
your head is clearing and you hear them,
they are screaming for you,
the crowd is wild, but you try to focus.
Pushing yourself to the limit,
revving the engine, you kick it up a gear,
the speed,
your body buzzes with the heat.
Helmet of black and green,
goggles to match,
the dust sticks to the perspiration around your mouth,
time for the last round.
The crowd wasn’t a crowd,
not more than a dozen people,
hit the donuts hard and don’t slide into the barbed wire,
the camera

The wind is gone,
You feel your wings failing,
Every movement requires precise control.
Your strength is fleeting.
You begin to fall as you flutter your wings.
Just keep going.
Push yourself.
Like a butterfly in the rain.
Another wall to strike you down,
To collapse your confidence,
as you desperately try to stay afloat.
Just one more.
Fly on little sparrow.
Be tenacious.“Flappy bird”
The sun has finally fled again,
and thus fall comes around.
Pumpkin, spices, cinnamon,
orange leaves litter the ground.
When I think of fall time, dear,
my thoughts, they turn to you.
and caramel apple lollipops,
thanksgiving turkey stew.
A fire roaring in the home,
a big overstuffed chair.
A book, a poem, written work,
a warmth that we can share.
Well my dear, as you may feel,
October bites your nose.
November tries to cure that bite,
as turkey tummies grow.
Every year the memories,
of Autumn county fairs,
excite me, even now, my dear,
Though grey, has turned your hair.
And so we sleep a long, cold night
for winters coming soon.

The moment before the curtain went up I felt my heart flutter, and tightened my grip on the silk cloth draped around my shoulders. The cape was the same violet color as the sequined leotard I wore. The crowd cheered, and the deep red (the color of blood, I think now) curtain rose. As i strutted on stage I smiled until it hurt, and threw my little cape to the floor. “My lovely assistant everyone!” More applause and whooping. The magician took my hand and kissed my cheek. As he led me to the box which I had “disappeared” in so many times, I thought this will be my last show. No more of this. I can go b

New Mother said we’re going to a new home tonight.
Only moments ago, she came into our girls’ room, and woke up Sisters, crying. Brother was next, and I could hear her voice crack as she called us to the hall. My two older sisters went, and Brother too, I stayed on Youngest Sister’s bed, quietly sitting, and listening.
Younger Sister hadn’t been in bed, and now I could hear New Mother sobbing. She said us children were leaving tonight, to live with someone named Auntie. I didn’t like to hear Mother cry so. I also didn’t want to leave her behind.

Hello all you little sparrows and fishes, I just wanted to tell you that when you're having a bad day, or week, or chapter in your life, there's always someone there to listen. Even when you don't think there is...just keep your head up,  vent in a healthy way, paint, write, play an instrument. Use what hurts you to inspire you, if you fall keep going, please, pick yourself up.
So, I've been on a haiku hit for the last few days, and probably have like 10 already in my sta.sh waiting to be submitted to this virtual world of art we call
Good idea the dream journal. Are these really dreams that you've had? I kept a dream journal for about three years until family life intervened and had to stop. I have heaps of weird and wonderful stories.
