Too Sad to Talk Right Now
Too sad to talk. Paint on a smile. Blank as we walk. Seek distraction. Idle chatter. Thoughts an intrusion. Drive to escape. Dark roads pull me back miles, decades. Painful feelings. Too much emotion is overwhelming. Fly high, far away. Seek out the light of a fresh new day. 🌻

It’s my party …
Seated at campfire, Flames leaping, high. Excuse me while I hug My bottle of wine. Sing, rousing chorus. Parts harmonize. Bitter-sweet melody draws tears from my eyes. Wine-soaked, glass empty. Numbness, relief?Unanswerable questions. No end to this grief. 🌻

Two parts
** Trigger warning ** This poem is about trans generational (physical, emotional and sexual) trauma and abuse Two exiled parts buried, Thrust down so deep. I knew all along. That’s why no sleep. Peace of mind eluded me. How could it not? When I had denied myself and forgot. Two protective parts of me, both…

A Seat At The Table
Too bright! Light dimming. Too much! Retreating. A Jack-in-the-box, coiled, locked up, exiled. Love sparks Release! Fireworks! Relief. Hold sacred space, of beauty and grace.

Gift of Uniqueness – Finding Completeness.…

Just breathe … Transformational. Feel at one. 🌻 Happy Thanksgiving! Today I am grateful to have my dear, patient husband…

I find speaking to you terrifying
I find speaking to you terrifying, Because my fear of abandonment Looms menacingly over me. My neck on the guillotine. I find speaking to you terrifying, ‘Cause I find your anger triggering. If I fail to show up perfectly, I might trigger your wrath. I find speaking to you terrifying. One wrong word and I’d…

Just Be Happy
Such high expectation, That happiness is waiting Around the next corner, The natural order. As if years of suffering Could yield to offerings Of love and abundance. Not my inheritance. Tender years, innocence, A gift of resilience, Amidst the dysfunction, Devoid of affection. Despite high-achieving, No Praise receiving, Until a necessity, A public formality. Belatedly…

Just the way it is
A lesson in toxicity. Enabling. Apathy. Overwhelm. Monumental effort. Nobody cares. Exhaustion. Too little? Too much. Pointless. What to do? Accept Defeat. It’s just the way it it. Does No One Care Enough To change? 🌻

Love
To be seen, To be heard, A community of love. To feel whole, Just be me. No more searching for love. To arrive, Open arms. Showering me with love. Oh to be Together, United, forever in love.
