Shadow Dancing
I live with myself full-time
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business

Perfectionism
From a young age
I was terrified
I would reach my full potential
And there would be nothing left of me
I was terrified
I would reach my full potential
And there would be nothing left of me

This is Me
This is me, Louise
For those who knew me
Call me Missy
Remember me
In conversations and smiles
Remember me in memories
Make ‘em funny
Cat momma
Osie and Salem, my joy
After my cat babies…
Cigarettes and casinos
Classic rock and roll
Wheel of Fortune
Kohl’s, Aldi’s and The Dollar Store
Those were my jams
Lalalalalalalala
I can’t hear you
Those head phones weren’t just for my music
I didn’t need to hear your...

The Lifespan of Stars
The lifespan of a star
Completely depends on its mass…
I’ve always wanted to be a priority
To be so large in someone’s life
Shine so bright
Their love for me would last forever
————-
I wrapped your adversaries in caution tape
I questioned your thought process
I overstepped my bounds
In the name of insulating you
Keeping you safe and warm
Is a priority to me
You didn’t see it that way
————-
It never occurred to me
To wish
To remain...

These Days - A Collaboration With WillowsWhimsies
Where are the real souls
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity

I’m Not Alright
Mmm, mmm
We go round and round
Always making too much about
The things we know too much about
I want things the way they used to be
When it was just you and me
And life wasn’t so crazy
I’m tired
Just talk to me
I can’t believe
You stood there like that
Looking at me like that
Like I should know
What you meant
I’m not alright
I don’t want to fight
With you
Mmm, mmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Why do we keep doing this?
We...
We go round and round

I can’t believe
You stood there like that
Looking at me like that

I’m not alright
I don’t want to fight

Mmm, mmm, hmm

Like Endless Starlight, A Lover’s Dream (Naajir)
He’s going to Feng Shui your interior
Until you can’t think clearly
And girl, your shower is going to become your best friend
His way with words is otherworldly
He makes you want to be HER
His muse
I never want it to end
He has a higher calling
A man who knows his worth
Refining himself
Pouring back into himself
A quest to be real
I’m honored to read his mind ...

He’s Hot, Hot, Hot (Panter896)
Sizzling
With just the right amount
Of tenderness
Ohh, weeee
Girl, go see what I mean
His writes bring you
To his erotic days and nights
My friend Panter lets me loose myself
Let’s my mind roam free
And believe you me
Sometimes I need that
The special brand of romantic
That is He
I’m grateful he came back
This poet who joined in 2014
His work
Is like finding a pot of gold
At the end of a rainbow
As soon as I read him
I was enriched
With just the right amount
Of tenderness
Ohh, weeee
Girl, go see what I mean
His writes bring you
To his erotic days and nights
My friend Panter lets me loose myself
Let’s my mind roam free
And believe you me
Sometimes I need that
The special brand of romantic
That is He
I’m grateful he came back
This poet who joined in 2014
His work
Is like finding a pot of gold
At the end of a rainbow
As soon as I read him
I was enriched

To See Through His Eyes…(MagicVisionz)
I tripped over my tongue
On my first read
He’s a smooth poetic lyricist
The way he moves that pen
His reverence of women
Mm hmm
His erotic senryu style
Has garnered many a smile
I’m pretty sure he set my panties on fire once
And his rhyming is ridiculous
My kind of bliss
He hasn’t been around in a while
133 days to be exact
But you can be damn sure
I’ll be one of the first
To welcome him back
My friend MagicVisionz
The man who’s poems
Hit with precision

My Guy, Mrd
A true lover of poetry
He’s experienced more than I can imagine
He knew Butkowski
He’s had a life I can only imagine
Not glamorous by any means
But he lived
He’s an excellent poet
And interesting as all get out
Sometimes mistakes make the man
We’ve had profound discussions
It’s been a while since he and I have talked
I miss him
My eighty year old friend
I’ll let his work speak for itself
Go to his pages
Read his work
Let your heart be touched like mine
By his brilliant mind
