Stop feeding off the negative
Once a week I do a complete shave of my face
I look forward to the warm water, shaving cream and Gillette Razor taking every whisker completely off
As I looked at my face today, the only hair that was left was above my lip
I don’t call this a mustache because I’m not trying to grow one of those
As I stared at myself and looked at the hair above my lip
I said to myself,
what if I donned a toothbrush mustache?
For those of you that don’t know what a toothbrush mustache is,
look at the visual I attached to this story
Not a real attractive...

Like anything else I’ve learned along the way…
Sometimes
People have to be
Left to their own havoc
No matter how much
I want to help
So they can
Marinate in the delicacies
Of their understanding
I’ll be here
To help shoulder
The world
When you’re ready

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS
SOME
people try to live
their lives by trying
to please others in
little things and large
things. Others become
the temperature that
register on their happiness
and joy thermometers.
NO
I'm not advocating a disdain
for the opinions of others but
I will not let them have power
over whether I have joy, acceptance,
or involvement in certain forms
of sexual pleasuring and pursuits
within honest and legal bounds.
THE
opinions and remarks of others
have no power over me unless
I choose to let it....

Better Tomorrows
Once there was a holiday story,
of silver metallic moonlight,
that contained embryonic beams
of better tomorrows.
A story of sequined arch angel wings, cradling my wounded thoughts
and haunted sorrows.
Healing shine for my tattered soul's terrain.
The magic light of Christmas, for many,
grows old.
But not for me.
Despite competing trees
festooned in shimmery gold.
Excitement tinged,
swirling winter winds.
Proke nostalgia for long forgotten kin.
No one sets out to be forgotten.
Be remembered for the lives...
of silver metallic moonlight,
that contained embryonic beams
of better tomorrows.

and haunted sorrows.
Healing shine for my tattered soul's terrain.

Despite competing trees
festooned in shimmery gold.

Proke nostalgia for long forgotten kin.

Unconditionally
realization, I love you no matter what
not desiring to be anywhere you're not
again I see you brand new
the charismatic man everyone loves
willing to set my pride aside to show you my love
with good intent, I fight the world back
battling my demons for us
insecurity baby won't drive me, if it makes you feel sexy and happy
indulging your lusts, I understand
it doesn't undercut who I am to you
but I won't let another one take you permanently
infatuations will come and go
I've been guilty too
our love being...

Back Drop Of Life
We all have a history
The back drop of
Our own life
Giving it substance
For better or worse
It is ours
And ours alone
We cannot change
The way it was
But it's in our power
To paint a new chapter
Richer with the cascading
Words that fill our minds
The back drop of
Our own life
Giving it substance
For better or worse
It is ours
And ours alone
We cannot change
The way it was
But it's in our power
To paint a new chapter
Richer with the cascading
Words that fill our minds

Seeking Grace
With a Peer by your side
You have a trusted guide
Someone who’s taken
A similar path and survived
To tell inspiring stories
Of struggle and strife
To shed a hopeful light
Upon the stigmas of life
Chronic mental illness
Does not define us
And substance use is
More than meets the eye
So bring us your weary
Your timid, your bleak
We will rise up together
No longer defeated
The opposite of addiction
Is connection, so they say
And as a Peer, I am here ...

Flash Love
I give you my soul… daily
You take it and massage it
You know when I’m hurting
Then you say the perfect things
The words that allow me to come back..
To you
Even stronger than before
I live for that
You take it and massage it
You know when I’m hurting
Then you say the perfect things
The words that allow me to come back..
To you
Even stronger than before
I live for that

mask off...naked eyes
I used to believe I was a master at masking
no one could read beneath my eyes
but I've recently revised my opinion
people will see what you want them to see
what they want to see
because removing the mask from view
...makes them uncomfortable
...it only leads to questions
possible expenditures of compassion
once they finally learn the answers
and let's face it...
we're all operating at maximum
not much left...
for the pain we don't have the capacity to acknowledge
if it's not our own...
...somebody else's problem...

i cannot see (too well)
i cannot
see
too well,
each picture
of her,
each happy
remembrance
blocks
my vision
from seeing
everything
else.

SAFE SEX ADVICE FOR A NIGHT OUT
If you anticipate a 'shag',
A one-off sex encounter,
Take a condom, in your handbag,
You can offer to your mounter.
They are not made to stop the fun
But protect your sexual health
When you're together, one to one.
Condom him, not condemn yourself.
To see you take the condom out
Shows your availability
And intent to keep safe, no doubt,
From an unwanted STD.
Think this, offering protection
Can come across as loving,
Make sex an act of affection
Rather than a 'wham bam' shoving. ...

MY BLOSSOMING HEART
Your soft arms sweetly hold it
And strong hands gently mold it
You've taken it from very lonely
To make it your one and only
Beating faster with each touch
Its thumping now, so very much.
So very more than it has ever been
You have brought it to life again
Bringing the rhythm back slowly
Like a planted seed you grow me.
Into a flower that is in full bloom
Out from my darkened ugly doom
Is now gone and proudly showing
The love inside that keeps growing
All from your tender loving care
Now I'm giving with much to share....
And strong hands gently mold it
You've taken it from very lonely
To make it your one and only
Beating faster with each touch
Its thumping now, so very much.
So very more than it has ever been
You have brought it to life again
Bringing the rhythm back slowly
Like a planted seed you grow me.
Into a flower that is in full bloom
Out from my darkened ugly doom
Is now gone and proudly showing
The love inside that keeps growing
All from your tender loving care
Now I'm giving with much to share....
