Each day, a new pattern
of stormy weather
requiring expert navigation
in unchartered waters
with no direction or guidance
only the hope that
we will make it out together.

Like a blanket of snow
Laying upon the frozen ground
During the early morning
No movement nor a sound
Asleep for time unknown
Beneath a frosty sheath
Waiting for the spring
The life waits underneath.

“Don’t you have a backbone?”
I don’t know how this means that you have guts!
And how does having guts make you stronger? Don’t all people have guts?
Does having guts mean you are careless since you might try stuff other people won’t?
If you “have no backbone” how are you surviving?
When I think of no backbone I think of jellyfish but then I wonder how anyone can say that a jellyfish is a wimp? Have you ever been stung by a jellyfish? They might not have a backbone but they sure do get you good!
This then makes me think of all the other things that don’t have backbones but that could still kill you, like a snake.
Do spiders have backbones? I don’t think so but they sure are brave going wherever the hell they want regardless of who cares or not.

When I look at you, I feel it.
When I think of you, I feel it.
When I talk to you, I feel it.
The spark that you ignited
when you told me you love me
burns so brightly
and feels so good.

I wear one to hide my shame
I wear one to keep me safe
I wear one to stay alone
I wear one to block my fears
Take one off to show the world who you are
Take one off to feel pride in who you are
Take one off to come together with others
Take one off to say you will survive
hiding from myself
living close always alone
wishing acceptance

aquiline:
The view from up here
is pretty you know.
You can tell where it’s sunny
and where there is snow.
You see the forest of green
and the oceans of blue
And you get all of this
from an aquiline view.

Just a little tidbit
Of info for you both
You think that you are funny
I think that you need growth
Your comedy’s not that funny
And has a lot to go
But if you go and take my stand
Your act is sure to grow.

a hook used to fasten cloth on a drying frame or tenter – https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2020/11/03/rdp-tuesday-tenterhooks/
The phrase “on tenterhooks” means “waiting nervously for something to happen.” A tenterhook is literally a sharp hook that fastens cloth to a tenter, a frame on which cloth is stretched, like a tent, for even drying to prevent shrinkage.
The sound of silence is deafening
as the country waits
on tenterhooks
for the outcome of
today’s Presidential Election.

When I walk out, I leave it there…
I leave my thoughts
I leave my feelings
I leave my hopes
I leave my dreams
I leave them in an empty room
And hope they might be there
When I return.

With each passing week
my heart still aches
remembering my son
is all that it takes
to bring me to tears
with each brand new day
why won’t this pain
just go away?
