Wag*
Liken to a dumbwaiter,
i live within my Ups & Downs.
Negative energies rise
melding, rejoining
the interconnected-ness
of (all of) us, You & me.
Transmutation completed
Positive energies fall
hopefully touching
the spiritually indigent.
It’s a constant for me,
this rise and fall.
Yeah,
i’m a dumbwaiter. . .
. . .but at least i’m cute*

Crestfallen
She ~
bench pressed me
into obsession,
lifting me
UP
too high.
Evidently ~
i was too HEAVY;
the weight of our lust
crushed us,
smothered us, both. . .
when she let go
of the apparatus
that held our vested years
together
only a nonsensical equation:
1 x 1 = zero
became our divided remainder
& common denominator

LOVE POEM

Amidst Grief & smoke signals
I gathered the stones to reflect and return
heat from our fires, burning
stoked the hearth on the open plain
with wooded kindness, love and learn
of how much I didn’t say when should i
have said more in Your presence
now You and I commune in a different
type of essence
***********
So much poetry I never got to spill
the type that dwells beneath the
wells of eyes bright but hidden
long gone is my 1st love
Yours – not so long ago
still hearts bloom of
eternal attachment...

Solid relationships often take a lot of Time
If I were a mason

stone
I’d chip away
(@ You)
making our

a Dream-spun Brevity now, a journal entry
in the upper right corner next to the doodle art of

my sloth of towards Saturnine
What would my Breakfast be like
without the Frosting?
I don’t dine on chocolate cake often
but O sublime with black coffee.
I think DEATH without a linear timeline
is very similar to my morning repast.
Without the Frosting
Without the cake
Without the coffee – unpolluted
Death needs a timeline
a physical attachment
a fear of…
a FEAR…………..
& while I love to eat desserts for Breakfast
I have no Fear of zero sugar in my diet!

Paths of Elucidation
A new year is coming ‘round again
filled with
possibilities
probabilities
all kinds of new stuff to learn
As the stars up above
watchin’ over me
with love
until it’s time for me to return
Synchronicity greets
by way of celestial direction
no accidental meets
or luck hanging in
the balance
I will be seeking
Equanimity
fuel to my guiding lamp
leading to peaceful
concinnity
more forgiveness
more compassion
more kindness
(& for myself)

My litterateurs
I have never been certain
but my heart tells
there are many tells
in every guile and game
My closest friends know
November to 1st week of
the next
I struggle in ways single
MFs cannot even fathom
why
in my past
to Facebook
I ran to past
the time of day.
& massage my grieving
Being
TODAY
I come here, DUP,
seemingly because
more friends and allies
to comfort and support
& messaged me
Later
In a more loving private way.

empath Liar, i am
in many a relationship
be it
platonic or unrequited
i am a fucking liar!
This week of
The 1st of December
Of all who know me
I struggle.
This year I thought I’d not think about
Not feel or near the subject
Or think about……
Fuckin’ didn’t work but not because
I wasn’t trying.
Those who know or feel they have
A private KEY to me,
Called, texted, emailed and PM’d
To make certain I have not left them.
I FUCKIN’ LIED EACH TIME
My most intimate friends knew
And while kept...
be it
platonic or unrequited
i am a fucking liar!

Contravene please
I have not slept well since You began to
YELL
I hear You but when I need to sleep
I need to sleep.
& still You yell – the “white-noise”
Deafening and I struggle
To be
To sleep
To…l
Don’t feel for one iota that I do not miss…
YOU
Daughter of mine,
I struggle to live in this world
To Honor You and help others
But
This is not without cost to
My body
My mine
My sanity
My Ki
I hear You but You need to tone it down
As I long for REM sleep
And my REM is...

So what
So what
So what!
Nobody cares when I am feeling lonely
Could care less when I am leaking blue
Time to take a long ass nap
For I am just passing through
& we think
So what
So what
So what!
I wake up sometimes feelin’ high
Wake myself up with laughter
Don’t care if You care
about what comes after
& I think
So what
So what
So what!
Doing my Best
to create my worst
but Yeah
so what
So what
