Here I will focus the writing on poetry and commentary.

We live our lives in a constant vacuum

Energy sucked dry by outliers needs

How does this happen every continuum?

Each opportunity a conscious soul heeds

This will be

The last

Time

I allow my heart

To be broken by the reality of life

Being taken away

Begin again

Belittle our real life fortunes

And you will be struck down

Like a bolt

Sudden and apparent

Purposeful God-like strength

If God really does exist …

The natural consequence of a patch of ice

On a winter’s morning altered her life

When suddenly a day at school became

A new path that would carry her soul

Beyond the horrific scene on the avenue

That night he played with his options

He inhaled vigorously as his friends

Always told him

Let it smack the brain

Then sit back and quiet the ride

Hold on with your mind

For your physicality won’t hang out

For a few hours, in fact your heart might …

Last week I was playing with beauty

Recognizing every curve

Every notion of seduction

All the right embraces of our desire

A sensual roller coaster of confusion

Drew my every moment of attention

And then today happened …

~

Our mortality wreaked havoc on the week’s results

Everything that mattered become inconsequential

Fodder, frivolous, fragmented, fucked up again.

    In my fairly short forty years, I have lost greatly in this “game” of life. I have drowned myself in grief for a husband/best friend, soul mate, acquaintances, grandfathers, a 12 year old boy and a 3 month old baby cousin. I have survived moments of having my heart beat ceased in pain, while watching these spirits ascertain heights unimaginable to us here on Earth. The one thing that has brought my heart back are those frivolous, nonconsequential moments that made me feel again; that put a light back into my eyes and emotion prick at my skin. If we fail to enjoy those moments, then we fail to live … and are no better off than those we lost. Much love and peace to you yesterday, today and the tomorrows.
