I am desperation’s surrender—silence.
I spent an eternity in love’s shadow, brokenness. Painful aberrations, noiseless hallways and nightmare promises—fear. Emerging into being, trauma-trapped body remembers the feeling.

I rest my head
in a catalyst of stars
a blanket
nourishing the mind
and the body
the result
of a cherished, and
vulnerable heart
are
memories
brought about
by the sun’s paradox
a song
of complete, and incomplete
and everything
in between

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Dagmara K, and the team at Spillwords Press for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.
A Field Full of Flowers
a field full of flowers…
dreams wake me from beyond, telling tales
of hope and despair
lost
to the stars
as they linger in the sky, just like the last time,
we said goodbye, holding you
close to heart, becomes
needed, and
necessary,
reminiscent….
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the entire poem. Thank you!

I cross cross the earth
in search of something fleeting
knowing
the unknown
is a place of peace
of mind, and of body
a souls destination
housed
within a fractured
system
of thoughts, and of feelings
coming home
a respite from the storm
sitting
in the center of silence
watching
things come, and go
attraction
to the poles of
opposites
the healing of ego
and of the soul’s companion
on the way home

I am always honored when a piece of my poetry is published at MasticadoresIndia and MasticadoresUSA. It’s such a joy, and this publication at MasticadoresIndia is no different. Thank you, Terveen, for always supporting my work. I am beyond grateful.
I would be honored if you would go here, and read my new poem.
If you’ve not yet submitted to either of these fine publications, I invite you to; it’s an amazing experience.
Last week, I visited Justin and Izzy in Portland, and we had a great time. We went to a boutique event supporting local small business, ate some wonderful food at Blossoming Lotus, and then went to the Portland Trailblazers game on Sunday evening. It was grand.
I wish you all a wonderful week; see you next weekend!
All my love and blessings,
Jeff

I am excited to announce that my poem, Hidden Inside, is now available at Spillwords Press. A big thank you to Dagmara K., and the whole team at Spillwords for publishing this piece, and for their continued support.
Hidden Inside
I crumble like stone
into a void with no home
falling
I try to understand the pain
and trauma coming up
within a body and mind, a disease
no one can find
hidden
inside the elements of being
swimming upcurrent…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
