San Francisco

 Our history together is complex

Nothing in bound I detest

For the passion and sights

And wonderful nights

Are memories that call for respect


My youth was when I knew of you

In age was when I came through

Was but for a short time

In feelings sublime 

And smiles crept with the rear view


The thought lingered and months passed

I returned once more steady fast

Though this time and in visit

Was nothing exquisite

Returned to the south like life asked


Years had ventured to which I was called

A new found passion which to enthrall

I worked day and night

And the feeling felt right

There's no way in which I would fall


A new years was spent with you

And though not really wanting to

The tequila train came rushin’

And we kept on chuggin’

A headache then dawned that’s true


Returned once more during COVID

The tension that lingered was morbid

Though hints were then dropped

That I shouldn't stop

Perception that was truly noted


Now ten years have passed and I hear

Calls to return upon this year

To enter again

And choose to now spend

The memories that I hold so dear

The Last Clock: Therapy Session

  “I killed him,” the words came out of Jude with what felt to be the most honest statement she’s said in some time. “Who did you kill?” Her therapist Miriam responded with obvious words of concern. Miriam tried to catch Jude's eyes, but her gaze was locked onto the floor.  For a moment, only silence filled the room. It was only ten seconds, but both Jude and Miriam felt that it was time so thick that it needed to be severed with a knife.  “My dad,” she said at last, with a hollow tone. “Under normal circumstances I would have to report any acts of violence, but Jude, your father passed away in an unfortunate plane accident. It is normal for people to bear the guilt of responsibility during their time of grief, but you did not in anyway contribute to–” “Have you ever heard of The Last Clock?” Jude quickly interrupted. The look upon her face was one of distress, as if pleading for someone to finally connect with her. Yet, even with this plea, her focus never left from the spot on th

One of the Lucky Ones

Born to a generation of limited technology Scorned by the realization of growing calamity I'm the first of my kind Living mentally blind A pioneer through my annals of time Hard work is what it took To live like a storybook But this concept's now hollow Taken away by those that don't follow Robbing all of us whole As we keep paying the toll Life quickly becomes static, pragmatic, and dull Siphoned of all including the soul But I'm one of the lucky ones I was not dealt the hardships of war Merely made poor, something I abhor Yet still, I'm one of the lucky ones I was not jailed because of my skin My gender didn't call the beatings to begin My sexuality never viewed as a sin Born a minority with issues within This culture acceptance came from my appearance Non-threatening they say allowed for perseverance No weapon was drawn through my incoherence No worries to grow about a disappearance. I was jailed for my ignorance, Beaten for
