Perusing
I got in on the act later in life
but I'd go back earlier than that
Too early really
Perusing over positions
far older housewives
I got lucky
Extremely so
Though equally met
same yearnings meeting
In the middle
I lived out my dreams
extremities of fantasies
But age grows long roots
finding love to be true
Is exactly what they say
It'll wrap itself around you when
least expectant of it
My love is genuinely pure
As I know theirs to be too
& making steps shouldn't...

Treasured memories
Out of nowhere
I got pushed
Into a tiny corner
...Suffocating
Reluctant to make sense
In this world
Of a million stars
And a billion broken hearts
Beautiful sunrises
Bright and sunny morning skies
Happy memories
Treasured by many...broken souls
I got pushed
Into a tiny corner
...Suffocating
Reluctant to make sense
In this world
Of a million stars
And a billion broken hearts
Beautiful sunrises
Bright and sunny morning skies
Happy memories
Treasured by many...broken souls

Bunch Of Bullshit
Fuck me, fuck you
i don’t care if we never screw
Your lost I’m fine
I found another Va-GINE.
You teased , me good,
I thought , you would.
I came, you left
DUP knows the rest,
Fuck me fuck you.
I wear my anger like a shoe.
Forget the verse forget the rhyme
I’d fuck you anytime.
i don’t care if we never screw

gratitude: accountability
he knew the fragile edges of me
splintered them himself
a time or two
at the time he always tried to deny it
though in retrospect
he did finally admit it was true
but he loved me
before I knew how to love myself
and that was the crux of the problem
what he saw in me
I couldn't
and what I sought in him
he was unable to give
validity
as he struggled to shelter his own fractures
he trampled all over mine
inadvertently
but here's the thing
how can one truly know
the depth of another's pain?

The Elusive Sought
when unsure of what to do
nine times out of ten
I go against my grain
I’m a soul forever lost
one who requires
cons[is]tant guidance; an
outline per se
I’d even take a dimensional map
never to sit and ponder
Do I?
Don’t I?
Should I?
Shouldn’t I?
What if........?
if blessed with any or all
of those things
I’d have none of these
fucking questions
I have been told
I live in three realms
simultaneously
past
future and
also in the present ...

Naked Reflections
Naked reflection reflects the naked truth of one’s soul. It’s the pivotal time in your life when you stop, turn around, and glance upon the occurrences you have taken to bring the presence of the soul to such a point in time.
I have been blessed to have enclosed the aura of my being with great minded people alike, and associates of greater affluence and keen intellect, but is this all my essence, what my creed stands for, shouldn’t there be more to me, if not all possible on this green earth.

True Destiny
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” – Jean de La Fontaine
Trials amid tribulation
failures, gradual adaptations
life a series of grafts
some taking, others left for dead
a simple weave
making their way thru your head
stitches try to make scars
more bearable
but the shameful still bleed
from within
where are you my destiny
as I battle life alone in this bed?
stars have come out tonight
and music begins to play
sync my soul with happenstance ...

Dog
All my thoughts are strays -- mongrels that have slipped the chain to wander the grey hills and valleys of a restless mind seeking some strange sustenance. Fleabag memories, mostly of her, make me itch all night.
But mutts like me prefer domestication. We hear the coyote's restive call but would rather mow the lawn than fall drunk down a stranger's stairs or wake sick in the late morn amid jackals and chupacabras, wondering where the night went.
This dog's good heart hunts hearth and home, knows its place cradled by familiar thighs, nuzzling the sweet breasts and belly...

Evolution Of A Suicidal Mind
On edge
Always on the edge
The calm is never there
An enthusiastic masochist
Welcoming the pain
Like an addict scoring the next hit
The invisible noose
Choking life away
The feeling of freedom seeping
Certainty dissolving
Revitalised depression biting
Restless darkness descending
The kiss of a razor
A knowing sharp lover
Tasting naked skin
Hope is a conspiracy
Stabbing at the heart
Increasing pressure points
Emptied of fear
An emotional vacuum ...

For You
You cuddle us and clean us
You make sure we look nice
You look after our diets
With the chicken, veg and rice
You’re very, very caring
When we don’t feel all that well
You take us to the vet and then even pay the bill
You buy us toys and presents
When it is our day of birth
And then you go and play with us
We run you to the ends of Earth
We want to say “Thanks Mum”
For being who you are
Wish you “Happy Mother’s Day”
You are the best by far
You make sure we look nice
You look after our diets
With the chicken, veg and rice
You’re very, very caring
When we don’t feel all that well
You take us to the vet and then even pay the bill
You buy us toys and presents
When it is our day of birth
And then you go and play with us
We run you to the ends of Earth
We want to say “Thanks Mum”
For being who you are
Wish you “Happy Mother’s Day”
You are the best by far
