This whole gardening theme is growing on me.I can see things approaching with more clarity.I’m starting to appreciate similarities and differences equally.Observing between saplings and weeds with more discretion.I’ve let heavy steps crush things in the process of growingMade necessary mistakes that cultivated new things in me.leaving bloodied battlefields in my wake no time to…

Idiosyncrasy: A Poem
Secret gardens blossoming on the outer sleeve.What have we been planting? Rolling up my cuffs gonna tackle this stuff,It’s time for some internal weeding.Digging deep, going for broke, aiming for the root this time. Tap in just in time to catch the battle cry…shifting wind blowing in from all sides, so many tides rising just…
Self-Reflection: A Meditative Poem
Indulge me, are you listening?Tell me what do you see? Breath in, breath out… I see…A sea turtle swimming through space clueless,disrupting little schools of fish just trying to exist, mmhmm, breathe in, breathe outkeep going… I spy…An Orca swept in with a smack of floating jellies,again disturbing the peaceaccidentally blown in by the current… interesting….
The Machiavelli in Me (A Poem in Progress)
Dear Diary… It’s just meback again for some conspiring.Sorry for slash and burning so often,Some versions are better left between you and me… This stage has me rearing for the next page,A brand new phase to turn in through. The sands digging in have been a perfect irritation.Ready for some Mother of Pearl irrigation, Please…
Heartstrings and Poetry

The Beauty of Oranges
While I was scrubbing floors this morning I found myself thinking of oranges. -> The simple elegance of a perfectly contained vessel full of fiber and mineral water. -> The ‘behind the scenes’ dance between the trees and environments that lead to their best production. As I scrubbed at an especially tough spot, I pondered…
… Dwarfs and Dragons: Chapter 2
Figures tall and short, young and old gathered in the town square. Their long lost leader had returned home! For the first time in some time a sense of hope seemed to rekindle among them. The growing crowd buzzed with sleepy conversation as the villagers rubbed the sleep from their eyes and readied themselves for…

Little Boy Blue
Think about it sometimes,all the time…the days and nights sitting at your bedside,watching you fight for life in a war waged from a vicious place.A nemesis with a billion faces raging against my guy.Caught between darkness and lightfighting for breath and basic rightsin a war, you never asked for. The enemy sure knows how to…
Between The Myrtles: Jailhouse Blues (3)
Beatrice: Journal entry #1 So, a lot has happened since the last time I opened one of these things. I don’t know what to think, and since I have nothing but time here, it’s time for me to stop mopping and get to work. No one else was going to pick me up by the…
