Your Move
Toe dipped in the sea
now up to your knees
feel the salty spray
beckon to take you away
pulse quickens
complete immersion poised
self-doubt, anxiety, fear
down-shift free will
to a practical gear
from horizon pregnant with possibility
to resignations shore return
merely refreshing stagnant reality
disdainfully gazing at spectator fence
safe, noncommittal perching place
passion’s wind billows, slaps your face
fills the restless soul like a sail
forcing change from doldrumic course
deaf to sensibility screaming AVAST!
diving into the oceans roil at last
drowning all inhibiting, paralytic doubt
tossing charts to tedious, safe passage out
courageously opting instead
to let adventure-bound current prevail

Re. Your Move
(There he is!!)
Hey there, dearest BB!! 🐻💞
It's beyond exciting and refreshing to see your post this afternoon. I know life is hectic and we all fall into ups and downs of DU participation, but I just want to plainly state that your presence here was/is missed tremendously! You're a voice of such deep and smart thoughtfulness; one who unapologetically shares in some of my same deliciously erotic and eclectic propensities... that alone is a unique find!... haha. Needless to say, I'm delighted to see you and bask in the worth and warmth you so greatly benefit us all by bringing to DUP. (end rant!.. lol)
Ok -
This piece above is so relatable and like you've accessed a portion of my own thought process or maybe what my personality leaned from years previous, when my life looked far different than it does today— before learning how to work on myself, so I empathize and completely know from atop that fence you sit. It's awesome that you've thought about taking first steps to make changes and are considering really grasping for what it is that you want and deserve. That's all it really should be about, initially. Making YOURSELF happy and finding a place of peace and self love. It is the only way to really ensure any type of relationship you encounter and want to truly cultivate, going forward is ultimately successful and happy, too!
A happy and impassioned BB makes for a much more fulfilling day to day, my foresight tells me!... hahaha.
I truly hope you're able to really find the drive and want to make the changes you feel you are needing. I support you and cheer that wonderful decision, a 1000%!!
Don't be a stranger, my lovely
Much love and motivation sent your way! 🔥 🔥

You composed one of the most touching, humbling rants ever. You can guess y favorite part, "one who unapologetically shares in some of my same deliciously erotic and eclectic propensities" just like you smart and oh so sensual 🐻💞😇
I am positively over the moon that you identify so well with this piece. You've written no truer statement when you wrote this, "A happy and impassioned BB makes for a much more fulfilling day to day, my foresight tells me!"🐻💞😇
I am now truly excited about my impending changes. Thank you so much or your consistent support.

Dear GW,
The alliteration throughout the poem is fantastic. To me created an enormous amount of energy. Additionally, I kept thinking how the same idea of opportunity brings me from the brink of excitement to the brink of ending it all. I’m not sure why I swing from the positive to the negative ends of the spectrum in such a drastic manner? In any event, the image of sitting on the fence and waiting for life to happen to and for me has left permanent fence marks on my butt! I know this feeling quite well. “tossing charts to tedious, safe passage out” this phrase especially caught my eye as an apt description of my preferred dealings with life. GW this is an outstanding write of reflective introspection by which I am truly enamored. H🌷

Dearest, Honoria
I cherish your words. I feel such a pleasant, joyous feeling having read them. I too can swing rom ecstasy to doom in a heartbeat. And we share the same fence imprints on our butts. I'll show ou mine if you show me yours...although they hopefully will hav long faded if ever we meet.
I am striving so hard to buld up the coutage to wholly abandon my chart of safe passage...take some risks...live again.
I appreciate so very much your words of comfort, comisseration, and unwavering support...know that you have mine as well.
XXXOOO

Love the sailing metaphors!! Nice to see you, my friend. I know I've been absent too, just lurking... life has dealt a blow that will undoubtedly come out here eventually when I can find the words. For now I'm sitting on my own fence....

I too have been lurking as you well know. I am sad that life has dealt you any hurt. I am always willing to listen and be there for you next to you on that fence, my kindred music lover. You are joy and ray of sunshine to me.

It's my move, and I think ten steps ahead to where I have you in checkmate. And you give yourself to me. Where there is no fence between us and you yearn to travel far into me, it's your move and you should take my queen. And in this you can truly become the king that you are. Don't be afraid to take me, don't let fences stop you.

Dearest Kristina,
This is a blushing, poetic masterpiece...one for which I feel thrilled, tingly, ecstatic, afraid, undeserving...okay okay a panoply of emotions. I love your Chess metaphors and the power in your magical, passionate phrases. Thank you!

Re. Your Move
Sometimes, it's worthy and screaming out to take a second glance at a work that moves, to properly address it's (and it's writer's) power.... and this one is flexing it's muscles all over the place.
Your deep soulfulness, along with keen awareness and the ability to internalize make you a great writer and absolutely superb at motivating others without gimmicks or making it about yourself; encouraging with these pearls of BB wisdom that absolutely ring genuine, truthful and completely heartfelt.
Because I know— rallying your enthusiasm!! 😈
Thanks for the lovely pm,and I await your eventually DU return, when the IRL seas aren't as choppy.
Thinking of you and sending well wishes ✨
