Are we but a nib, writing out life's storms?
Penning for better days with ink as our life force expressing our wishes upon a page?

Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war
Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war
My sister, she ran off and got married
Never was heard of any more

Progress On Road Of Life
The jester who animates my stoic heart
urges me to progress on road of life
while I conserve my basic principles
that maintain integral spirit of faith
which guides my journey to the Promised Land
where I build

“Oh, my mind / let’s sit down tonight and speak in silence, / for the noise inside is louder than bombs, / and the smoke of worry / has blurred my view of the stars.”
- from Saudade: A Poem of Grief and Resilience by Taqwa Al Wawi, #Gaza Poets Society

Geeze, it takes way longer for things to go up on Hoopla (library app) than everything else I've putting my books out onto. I only just realized the other day that my first novel Bloodloss isn't on Hoopla yet (just my poetry book From The Depths) when a coworker tried to find my stuff. Well, my crazy scifi detective psychological thriller Making Contact should be up on most platforms this weekend, so if you're looking for something different to read, it'll be on more than just Amazon very soon.

How To Unface The Mind
Clear eye of truth that sees the great beyond
describes exigency of divine fate
that we invent from ripples in the pond
when storms of sorrow suddenly abate,
which leaves us stranded on the beach of hope
to clutch

In English we say: "Stay close"
But in poetry we say: "Distance becomes unbearable once you've learned the exact temperature of someone's skin against yours." #poetry
On a planet
in a far off corner
of the Milky Way galaxy
single cell organisms
form in #primordial ooze
Step one
of the evolutionary process
When conditions are right
these building blocks of life
will rise and one day wreck the planet
taking us back from whence we began
Well, my back has been to the wall for so long, it seems like it’s stuck
Why don’t you break my heart one more time just for good luck

This is a poem I wrote today I got inspired to write poetry again after I watched the series Ginny and Georgia #poetry #poem #queerpoetry #queer #disabledqueer
If there really is a playbook of love - please get me a hint.
