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. ...

we are immortal
It's my best friend's birthday
and I sent her a text
saying
"happy I'm-glad-you're-not-dead day"
because her Peter Pan complex
demands I not remind her
that every year she's getting older
And her inner child might be
eternally switched on
but she somehow does adulting
better than me
though we both wish
we could just say "fuck it all"
and run off to Neverland
where responsibilities go to die
and imagination is free to rule
Her complex...

In This Place
In this place I am one.
I know this fair strand.
For countless times have I walked it.
And numberless are the sands.
Familiar to me as the salt air breezes,
Known and unknown,
We are one.
Each made for the other…
Two limestone stacks stand offshore
Some say there stand two brothers; others, there two sisters bathe.
To my mind come the words of a simple phrase:
We are one together, yet separate and single.
I have watched them all my days
...

awkward girl
i'm awkward with women
I have no female friends
I've spent years pushing them away
not allowing any of them in
don't trust no lady
were rules to live by
now later in my life
I miss the flavor
only a woman can offer
i'm not talking about sex
just someone to talk to
woman to woman
about things that really matter
but I'm so awkward
I push people away
trying too hard to pull them in
I don't seem to fit anywhere
not with the straight laced
or...

Roller Coasting
She was 56, her siblings were Disney villains, and the husband she'd waited a lifetime for pronounced her "undiagnosed bipolar" a mere three months into their marriage. The woman he left her for wasn't particularly young, thin, or pretty. No, his new wife, Karla, was infuriatingly easy going, a pediatric social worker who taught yoga on Saturdays.
Mary Jane had nothing but substitute teaching jobs, a great set of anodized cookware, a small, paid-off condo and $35,000 inherited from her beloved mother. Her life was easy to leave, and that's what she would do, for a while....

Recapturing
Christmas has passed,
and the new year approaches.
I encroach upon you
with a belated text.
The pretext is the weather
to remind you
of everything we have been through.
The snow was our serenity.
Snowflakes fall, and I
want you to know that I walk
for blocks in the symphony
of the busy streets alone.
I have a bittersweet
but upbeat feeling reading your reply.
You have established roots
where it does not snow.
Still, I hope the fruits of your labor
are savored and receive water from the oasis.

The Safe List
Haltingly, fearfully,
she takes her time
watching and waiting
on the periphery.
Some think she's confident;
others think she's aloof,
but she's wondering how to behave.
It's not that she can't read the room
she reads it all too clearly—
too many competing thoughts
and needs
paralyse her ability to act.
And so, it is easier to remain
on the edges.
Unexpectedly,
like a flaming arrow
to her fragile armour,
your voice reaches her.
Genuine interest,
listening ears,
shared empathy ...

Best Friends Smoke a Joint in an Alley Outside a Club in the Next Town Over
I don’t know that smoke,” I said and turned
my face away from hazy,
lazy eyes
that spoke with swirling blue,
shameless lust –
a guise I know when we
are on our own.
I watch the cherry
glow from mouth to mouth,
the unfamiliar night
creeps in and I
don’t know the smoke
he’s blowing out tonight.
She don’t know that smoke,
he seeps into the dark.
She gets shy,
his smolder hands are slick
with heat. I cut confusion
eyes to his.
He’d never touched, ...
my face away from hazy,
lazy eyes
that spoke with swirling blue,
shameless lust –
a guise I know when we

don’t know the smoke

She don’t know that smoke,
he seeps into the dark.

his smolder hands are slick

BEAUTIFUL TEARS THIS NIGHT
I know you have a crush on me...
I could always see
the way you would tickle me crazily
The way you listened as you stared attentively
The way you kept waiting patiently
Times I needed help with my things so heavy
You made sure my arms were left freely
When I cried from some ludicrous fight
You smiled and said Beautiful tears this night...
Frankly, that made me smile very bright...
As I can grasp the clue and all rings a bell...
My eyes gleam now as every time I see you
And I know and you know...
I could always see
the way you would tickle me crazily
The way you listened as you stared attentively
The way you kept waiting patiently
Times I needed help with my things so heavy
You made sure my arms were left freely
When I cried from some ludicrous fight
You smiled and said Beautiful tears this night...
Frankly, that made me smile very bright...
As I can grasp the clue and all rings a bell...
My eyes gleam now as every time I see you
And I know and you know...

My Quebec Princess
My Quebec Princess
Blue Montreal midnight
For primrose lady
Fallen into Erebus’ embrace
Veins on fire with hurt
Corpuscles burning a path
Through blood vessel boughs
In her tree of tears
When even Wiccan prayers
Can’t make the nightmare go away
Whose ghouls haunt her horoscope
With Sagittarius monsters
A tarot reading
She never suspected
When in the tempest of puberty
She felt like a passing gale
That surely wouldn’t last
Past the turning of the Zodiac wheel
That offered no reprieve ...
