Living in the Moment
Living in the moment
Is nice and not so easy.
As our past determines
Our present.
Our present determines
Our future.
Past, present, future
Intricately woven
Into every fiber
Of the moment.

Unwanted Children
Collective statement
To abortion anilating prolifers
Climate crisis
Magnitude near ten
On Richter scale.
People, babies, children
Elderly and inbetwizters,
Mother Gaia, tired and taxed
Can no longer
Sustain increasing population
Starvation everywhere
Rampant homelessness
In the riotous streets.
We, the Unwanted Children
Birthed into existence
From the canals
Of ancient seedlings
Propose that,
Since...
You made decision to pass
Judgement, to condemn us
Then...
You be...

Softer Side
Make love to me
Like its my very first time.
Kiss me with
Lips, that make me wet.
Fill me with desire
Longing only a real man
Whose softer side
Has eyes wide open
To reach inside me, us
Drag open
Pleasure gates
To a world
Longed for
Seldom achieved.

Hate Fest
My core aches
Of loss
Loss of me
Of who i was becoming
And now not.
Wisdom is not wisdom at all
Worth not a penny.
Who cares
Of old woman rantings
Ain't but a thang
Really.
Ain't but a thang.
It cuts to my core
Self-loathing again
Rears in my head
Making me real
Making me whole.
Failures always
Whine and cry.
Loss of family ties
Embarrassed to be here
For what I have done
Or did not do
Is as a child
Picked last
Felt so alone
Not liked
No respect
I hate...

Sadness Bleeds Me
Nearly paralyzed
Where I am.
Can't breathe in
Can't breathe out.
Can't break free
Of the chains.
Sadness bleeds me
Of self-respect .
Personal madness
Envelopes me.
Am fading
Day-by-day.
A sadness
i cannot escape.
Where I am.
Can't breathe in

Envelopes me.

A sadness

Joyful Bliss and Regret
Short story of
Joyful Bliss and Regret
I could feel the back of your hand brush by my right nipple ever so slightly, but you were not there. Sadness engulfed me, the tears stung my eyes.
We had something so special, so ethereally sensual even though we never touched, never held each other in real time. I so wanted you. You brought me to life, you held the key. I will love you always and will hold you in my being forevermore.
We heard each others voices only moments and never again. I wanted you so. I ached for you. I was breathless my dear...

Whoosh...
I just feel sick
Inside that nothing
I send, say or write
Sparks a conversation.
Suction pulls me inward
Whoosh...slight of hand
Shutting me down
Making me small.
It's all about you.
Your wants,
Your desires,
What you like.
I sink, I cringe,
I freeze in place
Shattered thoughts
Shattered hopes.
Of ever having romance
With you.
Low ebb interest level
Near unsustainable.
You can pound
Ipad for hours on end
Glue yourself
To...

Vague Ghost Figure
Vague ghost figure
Sits beside me
Gazing deeply
My soul to bare
At least that's
How it feels.
Vague ghost figure
Lay down beside me
Can only feel
Burning heat of hands
Touching me
Gliding over me
My feminity scorched
Into the heated prints
Once in fleshly
Delight roved over
Sheer ecstatic
Breathless waves
Ushering us
To new heights
Lost into the everything
That is nothingness
Left forlorn
Forever wanting
Forever longing
Satisfaction never
A reality, always...

Importance of Touch
I asked about
Corona bottle
The one you used
To fuck me
3 years plus now
I think, I shall throw it away
Only a token really
Of what you said
And what you gave
Empty but filled
With emotion
A sadness of what
Was and what is.
I am starving
I am woman
I need attention
I need loving
I need love
To be shown love
To be appreciated
To be shown
I am appreciated
You are damaged goods
You are stuck in time
Can't come out
I say, if not now ...

My Inner-Child
My Inner-Cbild
My man and I
Embarked a journey
Over three years now.
Through his person
I have discovered
My inner-child
And he said
"Let her be called elsie."
Elsie = L. C. = little connie
Elsie needed a last name
Born a Sanfilippo
Adopted as a Miller
Chose San.
My inner-child
Even has her own name
elsiesan.
She is quite proud
She comes out to play
No matter the hour
Hidden far too long
In a wall of flowers
She brightens
My days and nights
Beside me at all...

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 ...
