Decisions
There comes a point in life
When enough
May not be enough
More
Is what’s called for
Simply accepting fate
Is bullshit
There’s no reason
My dreams
Can’t come true
My desires
Can’t come true fruition
My fantasies
Can’t become reality
It’s up to me
To make all that happen
Happiness
Doesn’t fall in your lap
It’s a choice
And I’ll be damned
If I let anything
Stop me
From having the life I want
That’s rightfully mine...

She's the one
Times were slow,
they could be changing
My life could use some arranging
Now's the time to have some fun
Falling for that special someone
You could open a hidden world
To reveal that hidden pearl
Life it has it's unknown joys
Hidden deep by little girls and boys
Reaching deep into hazy minds
Amazing wonders you may find
Life is a one way street
If by chance, baby we should meet
If I needed a helping hand
To lie, to steal, to take the stand
I know it's you babe, I know it's you
Guide my ship through...

Proof of Life
In the westward sky is a crow's clear caw.
A visceral proof of life.
That there joyously exists more than just our strife.
It soared mystically deep into the baby blue
and fluffy white blissful unknown.
In the north sky
gathers a small murder of crows,
with their chaotic excitable moan.
A folktale goes that the crows congregate
to hover and decide another crow's fate.
Place a scavenger of death in a vast cheerful sky.
You realize a great many days are void of a why
They are just proof of life.
So feel alive!

natural things
I was desolate in the black ink
my mind wander to you
and the blue of things began to bleed from soul
I was corrupted thoughts inside
I ache in the moment
seeking a way out
your pull on me was all consuming
my void too great
I sulk among the sunflowers
speaking in tongues to the natural things
secrets not to be troubled by humanity
I watered my heart there
where blue meets green
I was whole in the red of things
and I could go on again
my mind wander to you
and the blue of things began to bleed from soul
I was corrupted thoughts inside
I ache in the moment
seeking a way out
your pull on me was all consuming
my void too great
I sulk among the sunflowers
speaking in tongues to the natural things
secrets not to be troubled by humanity
I watered my heart there
where blue meets green
I was whole in the red of things
and I could go on again

EXPECTANCY GROWS
I nightly sleep with you
and you are not here;
my arms are filled with
new precious memories.
of you and your sweetness.
My eyes are staring at you
but you are far away;
my lips gently touch yours
but it is only a dream.
The moon shines in my eyes
the night winds whisper in my ears
the blessing of loving you
makes every wish stronger.
I awaken with sighs knowing
you aren't here
and my expectancy grows.
Oh how wonderful is this expectancy.
and you are not here;
my arms are filled with
new precious memories.
of you and your sweetness.
My eyes are staring at you
but you are far away;
my lips gently touch yours
but it is only a dream.
The moon shines in my eyes
the night winds whisper in my ears
the blessing of loving you
makes every wish stronger.
I awaken with sighs knowing
you aren't here
and my expectancy grows.
Oh how wonderful is this expectancy.

Game Night
these pieces
are perplexing
puzzling
glyphs with
jigsaw edges
each decision
made with
precision
can I envision
the final
image
the picture
is revealed
wedge by wedge
jammed together
sorting edges
from the rest
playing with
colors
alignment
required
becoming clearer
piece by piece
the canvas confesses
that it’s lost
some segments
along the way
but it hasn’t
forgotten
how to be
completed
or how to
bring us...

enough autumn and upbeat crap
Upbeat autumn is nice
Foliage
Burnt orange leaves
Pumpkin spice coffee
How much happiness ?
Tell me that friend
It's just a matter of time
I'll need the usual
Bdsm lullabies
Cold Dungeons
Your welts and bruises
Bringing me pleasure

The Ritual
Early morning solitude
Awakens with bird songs
And fading cricket sonatas
Rising dayspring mist resembles
Steam emanating from the kettle
On the brink of a whistle
Sugar and cream float patiently
As the teabag sits primly still
Civilized in its order
Anticipation of the first sip
Matched by the alluring aroma
Of steeping English Breakfast
Not another portion of the day
Will equal these moments
Meant just for me
Alone and quiet
At peace and grateful
Embraced by...

ONE OF THE THIRD
I'm one of 'the third'
who go to bed nuuhd,
not donning PJ's
at the end of days
but hit the sack peeled,
as survey revealed.
Go into the night
with bits out of sight
under the covers
(lone or with lovers),
tasting the freedom
from clothes. (Who needs 'em?)

what's the big deal...
they expressed concern
asked most solicitously...are you okay
Valentine's day came & went
like I give a shit about that
but they were concerned
I was on my own
I've never celebrated, as a matter of fact
I call it a Hallmark holiday...
and they already have enough sitting in the bank
chocolate & flowers...
as Miley so brilliantly observed
I can buy my own
though not remarkably addicted to sweets
and flowers are wasted on me
in truth...I spent a pretty good day
alone

lengthening my vanity
and i
traveled
the distance
of
your kisses,
long, long
ago,
maybe extreme,
too extreme
possible,
such a
natural sweep,
come sit
or straddle
my rambling
stinger,
passionate
like rain,
draping
my lengthening
vanity.
