Hello my handsome freind, thank you so much for posting on my thoughts, huggles and warm snuggles from your friend Nica, stay warm

There is a song called, “Everybody wants to rule the world.” But these days everyone wants to save this world of ours.


Here I sit in the sunrise unit, a mental health facility at 5:35 in the morning. My heart is swelling with so much I want to say today, but I know that the best place to say it is right here for now, in my notebook.


Lenny is restless as he talks of testifying and changing the oil prices and shutting down major automobile companies. He came here after me and to be honest he disturbed me and I said so to another patient. I later apologized to him of my discomfort and we became friends. I discussed religion and beliefs with him sparingly instead playing spades with him and Anita and Lee.


Many times in our pasts we as a people have said “We are living in troubled times.” And yet it is now changed to “We are a troubled people.”


We live on the edge of a mission in each of our own hearts. Whether for ill or well we are surrounded by constant signals to improve our lives. But just like candy to a diabetic or an offer of sex to a sex addict things can get out of control, very fast.


Losing control and allowing these things into our lives so easily can ruin us beyond what we can readily comprehend of right away. And yet you know you have heard this before, many times, and so have I.

Thank you very much for your comment on my poem, I appreciate it very much, may your day be blessed. smiles and a hug Nica stay warm.

Sonnet for My Love

I touched your lips with my impassioned kiss
And tasted your tongue and essence of need
You had brought all of our secrets to this
A desire growing that will never recede
What once was an ever confusing thing
Has made the fire lick our hearts clean
The caress of this has made my soul sing
And now entangled in this dream, truth is seen
Of kisses, touches and moments once rare
We find sweet succulent paradise found
Here is a home, together, one pair
Embracing every day that comes around
My hand, my heart, my soul, wrapped around yours
This love is kismet…my love…your love…ours

The wind blew angry
stiring up our minds
at 7 in the night,
smokers and those who needed air
the moon shown white
with some halo around it
and the bare trees were yellow
in the light from the hospital.

I stood on the walkway
looked up into the moonlight
and wished my pain away,
it had been a long few days
and it seemed like forever
since I had seen the sky
and even now I wondered
how real it was,
after all,
how real is real
when you live in the crazy unit,
and how real does it matter,
when it is this late in the game.

A doctor once told me
I would lose my mind
at this age,
so why the hell did I feel like a sage,
no, don't get me wrong,
not saying I'm smart,
just know somethings,
like you know your things,
and somethings that aren't.

I close my eyes
inhale the damn cold air,
I feel the pain lift,
it was too damn near,
I wanna live again,
Like I did before,
back when I didn't know
about pain,
injustice
and war,
but tonight I'll take another pill,
knock my azz out,
gonna dream of somewhere nice,
maybe a beach,
maybe hang out with mom,
wherever I go,
I know I may not want to wake up,
but I will,
cause someone gave me hope,
and I will tell him soon,
I get out tomorrow afternoon.

Slicky Kanicky had them bedroom eyes
he was all doped up
but Anita still liked to stare
would have seemed unfair
if I were there for love
but love wasn't the mission
only getting it right.

Slicky Kanicky left in the afternoon
and was replaced by Wild bill
a long haired oldschool partier
and a loud mouthed 100th time patient.

Guess Kanicky wasn't so slicky afterall
Wild Bill asked me to marry him
and I quickly answered no,
twirled away with coffee in hand
smiling at Lee
my skizo body guard
who tuaght me to play spades
I won every hand for 6 days.

Smoking in the shower
between the 6th and 7th hour
nurse took my matches away

doctor smelt the smoke
what else can I say?
It was worth it anyways.

In Winter
when the days go slow
silence is louder
than you know,
in lonely rooms
and icy streets
in the middle of the night
weakness can creep
into our limbs
bodies, hearts and souls,
be careful
just how far you will go,
to fill the empty
or fill your head with noise
anything to drowned out
the sound of doubt and fear
be careful where you step
my dear,
stupidity don't get no awards
'round here.

The sun set today like a creeping
a seeping in
of the moments I wanted to speak of
but did not.

Speak or don't speak
it was all the same as I grew,
shortened by time
to hold onto what was true.

I sit and I wait
for the pain to negate,

the hellhounds of sorrow
forever salivate
as I stir from within
soundless sin.
