Defense Mechanism vs Explanation Mechanism
Defense Mechanism vs Explanation Mechanism
(Fodder for Thought)
I get offended
When accused
Of being defensive
My opinion,
On defense mechanism
Is that it is an
Explanation mechanism.
Defense goes up
When it seems
You won’t even listen
You say you hear
I say you do not hear, Hear
Rather, you turn your cheek
To my offering of my
Explaining the me of me.
Always been detailed oriented
It’s who I am, it’s part of me.
I pound my chest
Try to get point across
Voice in earnest tone ...

Journey of Despair
Night time despair
Hovers in the air
Hoping someone will hear
Feel vibes from within
Or from the scream
Forced hurtling
From tortured
Mouth into the air
Come to rescue,
Seems a journey
Must walk alone
No one can help
No one can hear
Or feel vibes
From within
Near impossible
When in the midst
Of own night time
Journey of despair
Hovers in the air
Hoping someone will hear
Feel vibes from within
Or from the scream
Forced hurtling
From tortured
Mouth into the air
Come to rescue,
Seems a journey
Must walk alone
No one can help
No one can hear
Or feel vibes
From within
Near impossible
When in the midst
Of own night time
Journey of despair

Profound Stepping Stones
Even at 71
Seems i cannot
Fnd the one
Why...?
No such one exists
From beginning
Evolution of humankind
Of pure animal instinct
We were born
Love an invention in time
Originally was survival
That caused us to be
Pain is inevitable
A necessary part
Of the struggle
Profound Stepping Stones
In our journey
Of this thing
We call love
Pain cannot
Be eliminated
Therefore...
Live it
Embrace it
Analyze it
Become it
Personal growth ...

Rocking Child Left Behind
Wretchedness in life
Can contort us
Into fetal positions
Never knew existed
Torrents of tears
From swollen eyes
Eventual numbness
Anger, host of emotions
Before can again
Breathe normal
You and the rocking
Child left behind
Bewildered, asking why
In the throes of such
Unimaginable pain
Please accept
Outstretched jestures
Of kindness
Attempts at relieving
Your pain
Even if only in spirit
From those near or far
A friend, family member
Or complete...

In Loving Memory of My Mother
She always learned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late.
In winter, by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such anxious care.
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget .
And I think that is where she is,
She must be waiting yet.
Watching 'till we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late.
Waiting by heaven's windows,
Leaning from heaven's gate.
Written by Mary Margaret Anne Weasel...
Anxious if we were late.
In winter, by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such anxious care.
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget .
And I think that is where she is,
She must be waiting yet.
Watching 'till we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late.
Waiting by heaven's windows,
Leaning from heaven's gate.

Trigger Physical Reaction
Cats and dogs
Don't have to ask
To be petted
To be touched
It just happens
Animals trigger
Physical reaction
Without thought
Extending out
We give care
And love
Through touch
Often, to ones
Never even met
Why do i have to ask?
Guess I don't
Trigger physical reaction
Human to human
Care and love
Through touch
Without having to ask
Is a most difficult task
I'm a human cat
I'm a human dog
I'm a human
Requiring touch
To survive
Often, I...

Death without dying (intended version)
Death without dying
Got to be worse
Than simply dying
Where do I begin
Go back
Go ahead
Moment of now
Shut myself down
Turn me off
Build my wallls
An elaborate
Plan really
Quite consuming
Besides building
Is better
Than digging
Isnt' it?
Building up
Rather than
Digging down
Or are...
They of equal value
Digging can be
Cause to build
Can open wounds
Not yet known
I suppose like
Fleshly wounds
Most do heal
Or compensate
Serve as go between ...

Lonely Tricycle
Sitting in corner
Of garage
Red paint peeling
From my frame
At least one or two
Broken spokes
Left back wheel
Nearly worn off
From the play
Of riding to and fro
Everywhere I would go
She would go too
Inseparable it seemed
No worries
We had each other
She and her ride, me
Then...
Strangely, a creature
Only had two tires
Not three like me
Appeared at
The garage door
Sinking inside
Frame of me
Realizing replacement
Was due in time
Did not think ...

On the Prowl
Been on the Prowl
Forever searching
For the one
To unlock my door
Fantasies, although
Based in reality,
Simply not real
So...Tonight
Been on the Prowl
Want a good
Hot lover
One night stand
Maybe two
No more after that
Catch my eye
Court me
Win me over
Tell me your
Cock is
Right size
To fill me
Full of cum
Tell me you
You want to
Fuck me
Tell me you
Want me to meet
Your momma
I say...ok
Take...

Rise To The Top
Why i hesiate
Really do not know
My redemption
From the start
You did not know it
I again started searching
For the one...
You were here
Didn't leave my side
Loving me
Desiring me
Releasing my
Inner child
Into your care
Is it possible
For love
To blossom again
For the time
You have left
On earth
I am yours
To have
And to hold
Loving you
From start
Nearly three years now
Has served as one
Of my greatest
Journeys in life ...
Really do not know
My redemption
From the start
You did not know it
I again started searching
For the one...
You were here
Didn't leave my side

disrupt my breathing
Think of you
All the time
It still saddens me
And i think, knowing me
Will always
Disrupt my breathing
My very being
That we will never
Experience one another
In real time
It is and will be
A most difficult task
To try to replace someone
Who is irreplaceable
And you, my dearest Sir
Are near, if not entirely
Irreplacable
I wanted you
So much it hurt
I cried deep,
Painful tears for you
And, as i write this
I am again
In tears, near breathless
Wanting you so
And...
All the time
It still saddens me
And i think, knowing me
Will always
Disrupt my breathing
My very being
That we will never
Experience one another
In real time
It is and will be
A most difficult task
To try to replace someone
Who is irreplaceable
And you, my dearest Sir
Are near, if not entirely
Irreplacable

I cried deep,
Painful tears for you
And, as i write this
I am again
In tears, near breathless
Wanting you so
