SENSES
We all have eyes
But it takes time to see
What is good & bad for you and me.
We both have a heart
But it takes time to feel
Process,accept,or reject notions to heal.
We both have ears
Yet we’re reluctant to honestly take heed
2 concerned with transgressions& fears.
We all love the power of touch
Especially if it’s passionately convenient
Not realizing trauma bonding is a crutch.
We too have noses
Blind to the foul stench of stagnation
But even shit can bloom roses.
However, only...
But it takes time to see

We both have ears
Yet we’re reluctant to honestly take heed
2 concerned with transgressions& fears.
We all love the power of touch
Especially if it’s passionately convenient
Not realizing trauma bonding is a crutch.

IJS....
For you love is a possession.
For me love is an expression.
Can we work?
If it can be steady enough to be held; will it be held tightly and in the highest regard?
If it can be brave enough to be expressed; it will be expressed freely, even in the damndest moments.
The anxiety of the unknown makes you prefer staying reserved and thus in control.
To move quickly raises high cautions and restricts the expression of your true feelings.
The deep lines in the sand are comforting, yet scary for me.
The fear of not being to take emotional...
For me love is an expression.
Can we work?
If it can be steady enough to be held; will it be held tightly and in the highest regard?
If it can be brave enough to be expressed; it will be expressed freely, even in the damndest moments.
The anxiety of the unknown makes you prefer staying reserved and thus in control.
To move quickly raises high cautions and restricts the expression of your true feelings.
The deep lines in the sand are comforting, yet scary for me.
The fear of not being to take emotional...

Numbers Don't Lie
Unfair
of one, t(w)o tell
a third party my truth!
Fo(u)r it was mine to share or keep.
Envy
hi fived jealousy six times!
Breaking the seven seals
of intense love.
The end
of one, t(w)o tell
a third party my truth!
Fo(u)r it was mine to share or keep.
Envy
hi fived jealousy six times!
Breaking the seven seals
of intense love.
The end

High School Dropout (Butterfly Cinquain)
Sitting
across; looking
at school. Nothing is taught.
Transformation not an option.
Conform
to all marginalization.
Never knowing thyself,
makes ignorance,
not, bliss.

Repetitious Desire and (OR) Regret...
You stay and you stay....And you just won't GO!
Occupying the upper realms of my mind,
Destroying the patience of my heart.
Forcing my spirit to disconnect from the desiring of you,
In order to save myself... just for you again!
Go, Go, Go... please...especially if you don't want to say that it's me you hate...
For continuing to love you...without conditions!

The DRT Truth
fuck him to FUCK her + Love her to fuck HIM = fuck em' both & LOVE someone else!
2 fucking HEAVY to fuck
+
Too UNDESERVING 2 fuck again
Love someone else & fuck em' BOTH...
Could've worked; too INSECURE to try
Can TRY all I want; too insecure to work
Is it ME? Or what I think I see?
I + Loved you & YOU + betrayed me
Loved you + I ... while... you +betrayed WE
To love me = you betrayed NEGATIVITY.
50/50: God forbid if the numbers should BEND
60/40: so long as it...
2 fucking HEAVY to fuck
+
Too UNDESERVING 2 fuck again
Love someone else & fuck em' BOTH...
Could've worked; too INSECURE to try
Can TRY all I want; too insecure to work
Is it ME? Or what I think I see?
I + Loved you & YOU + betrayed me
Loved you + I ... while... you +betrayed WE
To love me = you betrayed NEGATIVITY.
50/50: God forbid if the numbers should BEND
60/40: so long as it...

Envy lynched love
Deceit enslaved trust because-
Bombs became our balms

A2N1
At times DISTANT, feeling arctic and archaic; time giving no clues to why
A possible punishment for leaving goodness and LOVE to die
An ache to break free of the feelings INUNDATING me
Always ready for what's next, prior to fully grasping what's CURRENT you see;
Arcane FREQUENCIES above 440 hertz cloud the psyche's true intention
ADHD only WHEN comprehending one's own 5th dimension
Algorithms reign above LAWS of the Almighty
Affecting humanity's strongest connections, making us AIMLESSLY flighty
Attitude in lieu of character...

BATTLES (Haiku)
Love is confusing
Hate is certain; until loved
see the Dilemma????

A Present Yesterday
To be great,
means releasing what's good,
Then fear sets in, because of what's misunderstood.
Scared of getting it wrong, once we think we've got it right-
Avoiding the moniker of a blatherskite.
Going round and around, life is cyclical-
Surely to lay waste to the pontifical.
Life leaves most where they were picked up-
Ignorance makes them spiritual scup.
Light and heavy loads are forever in tow-
As broader or slimmer overstandings flourish and flow.
Seriously; these are not words of caricature-
...
