Honesty

surrounded by loud distractions
I await my wings
my pure attraction
my glowing, fiery
strong desire
-my fire

I'm sipping cider
The bar is alive
I wonder how many folks
are wise
I love my eyes
I write with a pen
I do not like
I think my drink is dimming the
lights
In my mind
I wish it would numb
The noise in my ears
I'll sit here waiting
writing
until you return
you're outside having a smoke

sometimes i write like im someone else


I am a secret
You're a tale
Do I believe in what you know?
I have power over you.

Put on your coat and don't frown yo!

It was chilly-ish today. A week ago we were ecstatic to have 15 degree weather, but since we had that summer-hot Saturday & Monday, 15 degrees sucks? Com'on folks, quit complaining. It's annoying and negative. Surely it's nippy, but don't cuss about it. It's April!

I looked fly this morning with my white-as-snow blazer cruising down Taschereau sporting my favorite pink aviators. Took me forever to find those babes. Searched high and low and could not find these shades. Finally found them being sold by a dude in the subway. Paid five bucks. He had two pairs left. I bought both.
Something about white makes me feel fancy. I dryclean this jacket to keep it crisp, which makes me feel fancy too.
I liked my hair today. Au naturel. My lip gloss matched my lenses.
here I walk
along the curb
the traffic is thick
the mass is moving quickly

slowly I follow
dragging my toes
sauntering
my drive is just a little dusty
my confidence a little rusty
I'll merge when I trust you will yield
then you won't pass me
anymore
you will find me
when the time is right

wear socks you stubborn mule


whenever the wind 
licks the inside of my toes

I am cold

how come you never warm me?

oh

I am the one to blame.

notebook rhymes


young one sleep
your heart still beats
with lights alive
your energy jives
but you should know
your youth will go
if you're not wise
with hungry eyes
a love will burn
in your willow
frail and worn
you'll need a pillow

so now you're open 
absorb to see
run to magic
but rest your tree

it's ok to find out what you don't want to be.

they talk and advise 
she smiles but her crease is pursed
uncomfortable she zips
buttons
and ties up the laces
heels stick in every sidewalk crack
confused, she is wanted
joy is born into the heart of her unknowing peers
she's gone into a handbag
beside her lip gloss
a broken mirror

stubborn scurry there's no hurry.


a sleepy head 
won't get some rest
stubborn, stubborn
she forgets
what makes her happy
now she's stressed
her morals are a tangled mess
she thinks she's dealing with her chores
when she knows she's scared of 'bored'
scurry, scurry
she never stops
she needs a stab
she needs a flop

brain farts, but um, good ones, like, explosive little pretty thoughts



A snippet:

Breathing patterns hold
emotions/hiccups, burps,
yawns in motion/blurry eyes may hide your fear but if you do not breathe..



A tale:

In the wind
In the wind
Thoughts are flying in the wind
I cannot catch them
Because they're not mine
But maybe I will learn in time
