Hypothetical Love?
i nearly came.....
a minute thought in
dream
&
real life.
i nearly came .....
thoughts slippery
knowing
NO WAY back then
no way
now.
You said You missed "us"
i felt that
i miss "US"
as well...........................
i know we share a LOVE that's not an earthly love.
Yet, we miss one another in earthly DEFINITIONS!!
Damn and eff me!!
Neither damned nor committed,
ours.....
our Love for one another will
ever be eternal. ...

Not Yet .....
i've been wrestling with
ANGER
(most) not my own
thinking about where
to drip
to drop
my ink
(into)
my home.
i'm not certain You understand
how an empath soaks up emotion
treading in the deep
end of the pond
mold - black some blue
some green, red
i am still trying to Heal
to get better than before. . .
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
oh my effin godless me!
i detest when the unhealed causes me to strike back.

Ostracism
Has it been ten years?
no
not quite yet
i will have to endure another 3 before
i can confront

i abhor how this spills
these spills
spilling
drip
drop
into other realms

"i've known her longer than i've known You though You ......"
i suppose her input is more valuable than mine.
Sh*t - i (have been) about kindness and bridging and healing. . .
HOW is this about POETRY?
i relent and lent my compassionate ease to my friend who has not yet the backbone to make a choice ...

Dusk in the Desert
I swear, this summer’s sun
still scorches close to night
as I must have been the wettest there
returning home from my desert hike!
Got to take photos of desert fare;
saw a monster, orange and black
looked no worse for wear
nor thirsty for a damp redact!
Getting difficult now for me to see
few streetlamps light my way
relying on starlight skies for me
‘fore denizens emerge to play.

Ingressive Dwalm
Full and fully spread, smooth like HOT butter sticks
You have to admit
everyone wants to be a Peacock!
Dancing in the rain singing to attract
a Peahen of wonder, play & laughter
raising a vibration so 2 might shine
‘neath a moonlight radiance of
Universal divine.
United eternally no linear divide
No gender
No race
No creed
No truths
No lies
Peafowl nesting within and outside!
Flashy flashing its Train
for all the world to see
eyespot(ting) to ward or woo
with...

But I don’t give up in trying, to
Chess, Poetry, Painting
Hemispheric Dominance

spiritual with respect
to Food

to Trees
meditation & grounding

Regale Appositenesses
Enough is Enough
this racism stuff
Let us celebrate
one another –
we’re alike
we’re different
Let us celebrate
a Global Potluck
plenty of dishes
cultural plates!
Let us dine together –
Repast
Relate
Revel
Relax
‘til enough (is enough)
alludes to us
being stuffed!
Enough is Enough
this
ethnocentrism stuff
Let us appreciate
one another.

sesquipedalian
(thirty of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
i truly thought my ability to become the brook
i often find myself babbling about, here
and in real life would strengthen and enable
me to power through this poem a day for
thirty straight days. . .
This has not been the case!
i found myself many times in the Deep
(end of the pond) treading water, hoping
for a blinding bit of inspiration
if but for one day, at least!
But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Instead, i dribbled, spilled, threw up (arms)

April’s Agathokakological Arduousness
(twenty-nine of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
i suppose this spill, its gist, the meaning
is all wrapped up neatly in its Title, its
nomenclature.
At last, only two toiling tasks to go;
No more tiresome tangents taken
(un-full)filling hours of trying to
dig up prompts from an emptied
pail of brain matter sweating out
fifty unique letters strewn together
foaming at the mouth forming
words thereby creating another
spill.
Thing is, after You peruse

Exequies for a Bee
(twenty-eight of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
Found a Bee last night
on its last leg
of its short existence.
Got me thinking. . .
a lone(r) individual
now no longer
pollinating his
surroundings, unable
to serve his Queen,
accepts his fate &
waits for the gate
to open.
This Bee lied sideways
barely moving
on my bedroom floor.
i would have set outside
but i knew he would not
survive, so i tried
to make his upcoming
demise
as comfortable as ...

1st Transudation
(twenty-seven of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
i lightly knocked at
Hell’s front door
seeking relief from
Arizona desert’s floor
another summer
has awakened the sun
potential heat exhaustion
has now begun while
triple digit Fahrenheit’s
begin to soar and i
feel as though i’m
melting once more!
Reprieve will come
now and then
by way of a monsoon
three, 4 or more
bringing tepid rains
to a thirsty land as
lightning illuminates
the way!
