Celestial Light
Planets aligned like mine
At a different time
Same…inclination(s)
Tour guide
Life guide
When I thought
Spirituality
Belonged…elsewhere
Your patience
Kindness
Acceptance
Encouragement
Showed me
That celestial unity
Community
Spirituality
Resides on a
Much lower plane
I couldn’t be more
Grateful
That you reached
Out to me
From DUP
My found family
Ahavati, I know
You would never judge this
As a winner
Although I believe
That’s
What you are
My Northern Star

Bill (Billy_Snagg)
“All of you ladies out there
Turn up your radios
I’m about to tell you something
You may want to know
You know things
They’re not always what they
Appear to be…”
Listen real close
So you can see what I see
A romantic at heart
He will sweep you off your feet
I know, I know, it’s hard to believe
But trust me
I wouldn’t steer you wrong
Take it from me
A world worn, love weary traveler
I’ve had my share of relationship-defeat
Here’s always there
To wipe away my tears and listen to me
You see…
My friend Billy
Can see
Directly into your heart
Hold out his hand
And help you cross over the jacket he’s laid at your feet
Gallant, trustworthy and sweet
He hides behind humor
Like some men do…
My friend Billy
He’s the best
And
If you hurt him
I will
Hunt
You
Down
Girl
I gotta run
‘Cuz he just saw this
Turn up your radios
I’m about to tell you something
You may want to know
You know things
They’re not always what they
Appear to be…”

On wings of gossamer, light and free,
a butterfly dances, wild and carefree.
Yet on its fragile, silken span,
a drop of blood, a crimson plan.
A delicate bead, so stark, so bright,
against the wings, a haunting sight.
In the garden’s hush,
where flowers bloom,
It flutters softly, dispelling gloom.

Wafflenose
Soft touches of letters
building words
Lightning bolts
shaping phrases
Restarting
metamorphosis
Never too dark
to have a glimpse
of our shadows...

Flutter By LittleDragonFly
Laced with joy, sorrow and pain
her words
the map of an adventurous soul
take us to destinations
unknown
And I, my heart
travel weary and worn
find solace
in her ability
to confess
while professing
she will not
reveal all
leaving just a little
for us to wonder
if her stories are real
or just a tale
that's tall
I often wait
for her next trip
For the words
that will
take my mind
places exotic
and poetic
I long
to be wherever
she roams
through every time zone
to see the photos
she posts from her phone
to comment
and let her know
she may be far away
but she's not alone
then I'll happily be
one of the first
to welcome her home
Don't even
get me started
on her erotica
'cuz that woman can write
And then you'll
never get outta here...

Beer and Cake for Betty
Her ferocity
has been
the shield
for her fragility
My girl, Betty
Her talent oozes
drips right
off the page
as she applies
her makeup
to cover her
heart bruises
her body and words
weapons of destruction
sisters in solidarity
in this war of
love, lust and trust
some days it feels like
the end of us
but carry on
we must
The battlefield
strewn with bodies
battered and bloodied
her white flag torched
My girl, Betty
heart in tact
defeat scorched
Rises

Iberian ink
unstained
he captures flints
word synching
fado flows in fate
soul essence
seer seeker
each rolling wave
a breeze delving
Neptunian nebulas
open never to come
to a finite closure
his azure gaze
holds palmist dreams
he balances
Pablo Neruda
would lend him
his love sonnets
they would make bacalhau
and discuss reinvent
its pronunciation
rekindle etymologies
cadence of a candle
reflecting waterfalls
through words

God is not here
God is away
for the holidays
God owns eleven
fingertips
God says....
God is not here
for good.

Learning to see
Myself
Seeing myself

of my eyes
that learn...
Myself undone.

My Not So Little Debbie (deliabear)
More
Than a site sister
United
In more than pain
Surviving
Deluges of
Wind and rain
She rises
The imagery
Of her words
Dazzles
Transports
Momentarily
I am lifted
Her gift
Transcends
Time
Space
Reason
I am there
Invited
Into her journey
Traveling
Side by side
Arm in arm
Sister
And
Sister
Because
She
And her words
Are
Indispensable
Than a site sister
United
In more than pain
Surviving
Deluges of
Wind and rain

300 Yard Dash (FATBOY300PLUS)
The finish line looms
Yet he isn’t in a hurry
His strut
Solid
His love of words
Women
The coming up
Of the younger generation
As he reflects
And imparts
His wisdom
Solid
The world needs more men
Who are men
Unafraid to say
What’s in their
Hearts
On their
Minds
With the respect
Humility
Patience
And straight up
Truth
That is He
Saying it
How it is
Because that’s
Who he is
Aggressive
Affection
With that
Strut
Yet he isn’t in a hurry
His strut
Solid
His love of words
Women
The coming up
Of the younger generation
As he reflects
And imparts
His wisdom
Solid
The world needs more men
Who are men
Unafraid to say
What’s in their
Hearts
On their
Minds
With the respect
Humility

And straight up
