Fear of Failure or Succes?
What harm is there
in loving myself,
not too much but at all?
What if I cared for myself,
ate healthier, moved around a bit, not excessively,
mind you but at all?
What would be the risk
of following a dream
to learn a musical instrument,
not on virtuoso level
but enough to plesse me?
For that matter, what's wrong with pleasing me
for me exclusively?
Would it be that great of a sin
to publish my poetry….the romantic, humorous, sad,
scary, historical, hysterical,
and even the erotic?
What's wrong with me ...

The Divine gift of gratitude
The Divine gift of gratitude is truly a blessing in disguise, as much as it is a feeling of appreciation and love and life to have a sense of thankfulness for all of your blessings. For sure I ask this one Divine question, woman to man and man to woman, what are you thankful for in each of your lives. THAT made a big difference between you both, as it renew your faith with a strong commitment, and consistency and strength and perseverance. As it enhanced you'll belief in your faith and strength and courage and support of your perseverance. To finally have someone special in your lives, with a...

The house that swallowed me whole
I was born into a house,
already full.
Full of silence dressed up as survival.
I was born already unforgiven.
The product of her regret.
A product of a man whose name curdled in her throat,
every time she looked at me.
I was his mirror,
And that meant I could never be hers.
I was the reminder,
of a mistake,
of a man she regrets,
of a night she doesn’t speak about.
I was not the one she held close.
Not the one she prayed over.
Not the one she loved.
I was tolerated.
Raised on scraps of affection, ...
already full.
Full of silence dressed up as survival.
I was born already unforgiven.
The product of her regret.
A product of a man whose name curdled in her throat,
every time she looked at me.
I was his mirror,
And that meant I could never be hers.
I was the reminder,
of a mistake,
of a man she regrets,
of a night she doesn’t speak about.
I was not the one she held close.

Reflection that unmade me
I was eleven when the ground beneath me cracked.
When truth spilled out of her mouth,
like it wasn’t a bomb,
wrapped in casual conversation.
I was old enough to feel the tremble,
when truth finally speaks.
It wasn’t a sit-down,
wasn’t gentle.
It came in a slip of the tongue.
A careless comment,
meant to hush my parents,
not to shatter me.
But just like that,
My world split down the middle,
between what I thought I knew,
and what had always been hidden.
I wasn’t who I thought I was.

My Hardware Life - 2
Store Manager says
“CEO of our parent company
is coming for a visit”
when? I don't know.
what's he look like?
search me.”
all day we play a game of, “who can it be?”
a contest made more difficult
by our lunchtime clientele
primarily IBM Engineers
and Executive in business apparel
a “Thomas Crown Affair (ish)” deception mess
Just after lunch break
I, leader of the garden department crew,
returning to my domain
when I spy a customer
shopping for a hummingbird feeder
“Can I help you sir?”...

{re}assess the situation
16 of 30
they show you
...in those early days
how much they're prepared to do
the time they're willing to invest
...to secure your affections
beyond that...
listen closely...
when the standard previously set
no longer matches current behavior
it isn't a reflection of your worth
merely a shift in their attention
believing you caught...
& their time no longer required
they...drift
if your place in their priorities
no longer meets satisfaction
don't assume it's anything you...

Feel more at peace
As another day slowly comes to an end and night shadows the world 🌍 when do you feel more comfortable, in your own personal, quite atmosphere of no time, just empty space. FOR your own thoughts to roam around free, from the negativity and drama and confusion, and madness and chaos even of some people's. 🤔 For sure it's necessary to understand that sometimes, we have to learn to separate, things in our lives in order to THINK. Rational with an focus of understanding, that we all need that moment of peace and tranquility. For sure it could be music 🎶🎵 it could be...

Drafts of a confession
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ Let's dive into the truth about a confession of the deepness, that lingers in the heart and spiritual soul touching, the deepness of your soul and mind. For this precious story will go deeper than deep, into the process of being able to share your silent, whispers of your tears that have been created by the hurt and pain. That goes to the reason, why you wear a mask as a disguise, to hide from preying eyes. 👁️👁️ But yet beneath the surface of your mind thoughts, you wonder how much you need and want...

Accepting My Fate
Here I am as I am in a state of relaxation of meditation, preparing my mind thoughts for another phase, of more testing in my life of cancer. Yet still I'm not giving up yet for this precious element known as life, for sure I am grateful and thankful and blessed, to be able to have a second chance at life. For what ever is the outcome in this space and time ⌚ I remain resilient on a positive level of energy and determination and perseverance. For sure I still believe in my faith and beliefs, that GOD ALMIGHTY is here to guide me upon this Earthly, journey and travel and walk through...

unsung beauty of unwanted parts
10 of 30
don't let it be her breaking...
that's what I said
but...maybe...
I had it all wrong
what if it's all part of our making
how we learn...or not...
& what we take from our damage
what we do with it
hiding...or embracing
because I...
I fell...
with all the exuberance of youth
absolutely blind belief in the power of love
...thought it embodied something magical
as I swam in the seas of his eyes
not noticing how shallow they really were
or how their turbulence swallowed me up ...

Far Away, I Am Free
A young girls fantasy
becomes
A grown woman’s sadness
How warped fate can be
To twist and knot a dream
Euphoric beginnings eroded
Daily, the grind of merely existing
I long to run
Yet, maps are obsolete and
Siri didn’t understand my request
Fancy language and scripted fonts
Do little to assuage this emptiness
Bards of yesteryear are mute
To the very thing I need to hear
I don’t know where to go?

Native Harmony
Here I am as I am a entity of strength and perseverance, still surviving just trying to take it one day at a time ⌚ For the elders say that we are the chosen ones who were chosen, because of our strength and courage and perseverance. TO lead as an example for the wolf pack through the process of our journeys and travels and walks. THROUGH the forest of life and in the world. 🌎 For sure we can be many things in different ways and forms of existence. For sure we have a real sense of survival instinct, for wanting nothing more and nothing less than what we need to survive. 🐺
