Watching Watches
I’ve been binge watching watches or watch watching
It’s my new hobby, my new interest and obsession
I’ve been window shopping without any signs of stopping
Analyzing and pricing if I should pursue this fixation
I pause and admire some of these beautiful timepieces
The brands, the styles, the complex mechanical engineering
The colors, the designs, oh how this new elation increases
When the fine craftmanship is so appealing and endearing
There is some kind of romantic nostalgic sentiment here
As I reminisce on the ones that I’ve owned,...

Presumably
You think you know me
You can tell
What I want
Need
You got me
I used to think
That was everything
Until I realized
That in all your knowledge
You have zero
You don’t hear me
You give me
What you need me to have
What gives you satisfaction
Your savior complex
Drives you to do for me
I got that covered
If you really knew me
You would understand
That what I need
What I want ...

soul beauty
it is in my silent times I grow
when the internal chatter quiets and I listen
with careful mind to what is said to me
I hear the universes imparting knowledge
child of recklessness be still and learn
on the gentle winds I gather good intentions
collecting what I lost along the way
keys of wisdom discarded
picking them up and placing them in my sacredness
jewels that will beset my crown later
it is a constant curve
in an ever changing life
expanding my horizons I continue on
my journey long
the footing...

The Surface of The Soul
Is the surface of the soul like moon stained craters....
Or aquamarine like magical glaciers....
Is the surface of the soul scarred with battle wounds.....
Or is it a sheet of ice you lie beneath with lips of frozen blue.....
Is it a field that stretches forever with happy wildflowers.....
Or sands of time with secret dunes that devour prescious hours.....
At the surface of the soul, no encounter is by chance.
No matter what the terrain of your inner land.
You must sink or dive below the surface,
to ever really know.....
Or aquamarine like magical glaciers....
Is the surface of the soul scarred with battle wounds.....
Or is it a sheet of ice you lie beneath with lips of frozen blue.....
Is it a field that stretches forever with happy wildflowers.....
Or sands of time with secret dunes that devour prescious hours.....
At the surface of the soul, no encounter is by chance.
No matter what the terrain of your inner land.
You must sink or dive below the surface,
to ever really know.....

LAUGHING AT MYSELF
ME!
Every day I pause
to visit my comedy club
where I laugh at myself
out of honest reflection.
There are a lot of things
I laugh at, mostly the
dumb things I say and
the things I forget to say.
My favorite laugh comes
when I forget where
I left my keys or not
realizing I didn't set my alarm.
Then there's telling
the same person the same
story over and over not
seeing their boredom.
I don't think I'll share
the sexual laughs I
have at myself, it'll
be a tell-all...

Who’s Bradley
Is he a male Karen
I don’t think so
He’s younger
Poorer
Cooler
Who is he
Well
He’s a box head
Doesn’t use punctuation
That alone makes him
The Man
I don’t think so
He’s younger
Poorer
Cooler

Well

What I have learned
of Friends or frenemies
depends solely on actions
A friend does not manipulate emotion
to mental detriment
for personal reasons;
nor entertain rumors
or fans discordant flames;
but, listens instead—
offers alternate perspectives
creating space
for peace to breathe
Think about it this way. . .
vs -
Did you see what s/he wrote?!
Like, OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just KNOW it was about YOU
or, ME(ALL ABOUT MEEEEE)!
Or US! ...

I LOVE THE FEELING
I love the feeling
when, after peeling,
the cool air tenses
the bare skin's senses.
No embarrassment,
when others present
are doing the same,
regardless of frame.
In our birthday suits,
back to Eden roots
we are returning,
salving a yearning.
You become aware
less of being bare,
more 'being at one"
with sea, sky and sun.
It makes skinny dips
worth the two hour trips,
participating
so liberating.
Baptising in surf,
on face of the earth,
as the tide...

well...I'll be...
I keep saying the words & know them to be true
proven time & again
last night for the first time...as I said it once more...
I actually listened
damn...the weight of its truth...
that shit hit pretty differently
crashing into my stupefied mind
overlaying what I always thought of as my reality
reshaping it with a whole new meaning
simultaneously shackling & freeing
removing culpability from him...
...placing it squarely on me
my decisions...my belief
...all that was up to me
but it also returns the raw power... ...

In The Shadows...
I come to you only in whispers,
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.
Only when the moon is glowing,
Am I showing -
Myself to you...
Allowing you in -
Where secrets hide.
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.
Only when the moon is glowing,
Am I showing -
Myself to you...
Allowing you in -
Where secrets hide.

Excerps
alone in my loneliness
I breath
cocooned in my aloneness
an amoeba floating
on a galaxy of silence
I breath
cocooned in my aloneness
an amoeba floating

Game of Love
Love is a game
We hold back pieces
To seem a mystery
We play the game
It's not about winning
or losing
It's about getting
Into the Woman's
Heart and Soul!
