The Woman You See
Ever the happy-go-lucky child
Idyllic upbringing into womanhood
Strong and self assured
Or
The façade of such a person
Checking off each passing day
Akin to the doomed Iphigenia
With no
fairy godmother
to
rescue

Sex Poem
I didn't tell you today
That I want to bite your ass
So I'm telling you now
I'm so damn hungry
That I want to bite your ass
So I'm telling you now
I'm so damn hungry

Metamorphosis
Some days are sublime heavens in our minds.
Intervals when immense feasts of pleasure
and hungered thoughts align.
Others are seering feral hell's that burn a pain divine.
What saved me from the lunacy
of enigma's inside my blackest hole.
Were the wildfires of passion,
from yet to reach terrains,
roaring in the barren fields of the soul.
My heart a satchel of angel deeds and devil's lies.
Beneath the soaring transitions of a chilled blue October sky.
Trees breaking out in the infectious blazing color
still in denial, that it's...

Untitled (of course)
Such a little puppet
With several severed strings
Just an old familiar song
No one really sings
Trapped inside life's hourglass
The walls distort my view
Kaleidoscope emotions
Colors old and new
Quite a simple loner
A silent scream out loud
Nothing individual
Faceless in the crowd
Longing for a different place
With greener grass I'm sure
Always just outside the grasp
That is the allure
Forever will I wander
At least inside my head
An empathetic being
Feeling what is said ...
With several severed strings
Just an old familiar song
No one really sings
Trapped inside life's hourglass
The walls distort my view
Kaleidoscope emotions
Colors old and new
Quite a simple loner
A silent scream out loud
Nothing individual
Faceless in the crowd
Longing for a different place
With greener grass I'm sure
Always just outside the grasp
That is the allure
Forever will I wander
At least inside my head
An empathetic being

One With Nature
When I die, I've told my family to
cremate me, spread my ashes all around
let me become a part of the dirt
the grass
the trees
the mountains
the wildflowers
and every little leaf
everything that is a part of nature's beauty
that is what I want to be.
cremate me, spread my ashes all around
let me become a part of the dirt
the grass
the trees
the mountains
the wildflowers
and every little leaf
everything that is a part of nature's beauty
that is what I want to be.

I SLEEP SO WELL
I sleep so well
au naturel.
If you're no prude,
it means in nude -
no negligees
nor mere PJs.
Feeling so free
in nudity,
sleeping as God
made this fair bod,
skin next to silk
warm like mum's milk,
so assuring
of deep resting.

childhood memories (one of many)
this is a memory that takes me back to childhood again. one that reminds me of the family, the farmhouse i'm missing. to the southern ground my bare feet walked on, ran on. played on, lived on. those much simpler times of being so young, of feeling free.
remembering all the faces associated with these heartfelt thoughts, my mother, father, brothers and sister. they are all back there, alive and well, gathered together again. waking up together, spending time together.
the large backyard where the chickens, the goats were kept. the horses being in a barn across the...

idiosyncrasy
chivalrous temptation,
excitable treachery don't leave me
I am in that mood again
defending my anxiety
there is need without reason
it swings inside me constantly
tortured existence I know no other
so it's for you I get on my knees
does that make me weak?
I guess it does
I can't cut it clean
escapism is my vow
I will check out every chance I get
upon your doorstep I sit awaiting my pardon
I wonder once released will I be different,
or is the problem with me?
...

Deep words
When the mind writes, the word is more beautiful.
When the heart writes, the word is truer.
When the pronoun is written, the word is deeper.
There are those who read what I write with their mind,
there are those who read with their heart,
and there are those who read with their feelings.
But only those who have the same feelings,
and feelings will understand me, the language of hearts
When the heart writes, the word is truer.
When the pronoun is written, the word is deeper.
There are those who read what I write with their mind,
there are those who read with their heart,
and there are those who read with their feelings.
But only those who have the same feelings,
and feelings will understand me, the language of hearts

Just Testing The Winds Of Time...
I am testing the unbalanced lightning effect on this last introduction video during my traveling blog, I was in the parking lot of the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
From this day going forward, a three week much needed vacation, no patients, not scheduled to be on nightly on call, no call center calls in the middle of the night for medication refills, no televisits, no DON duties, no payroll to complete, no hiding out from persistent whining physicians, no pager on my hip, no overhead pages to the triage desk, oh God yes...
I am going deep...

secret smiles & gentle reminiscing
skeletal branches outlined
stark
against a charcoal smudged technicolor sky
a single star...
...defiantly standing out
a thumbs length above the horizon
as flames give one final glorious push
...blazing insanely
before fading into a chilled shadowy night
and thought settles into a pool of reflection
...remembrance
...acceptance
paths traveled & bridges crossed
...burnt down...left with no return
watching mile markers glow to my right
swiftly passing them by
headlights dance across my vision ...

Lair Of Dismay
In the lair of my dismay
Trying to find a better way
I wasn't rolling in the hay
This sad and lonely rainy day!
But in the lair of my dismay
I did eventually find a way
Joyfully rolling in the hay
A fine and glorious summer's day!
Trying to find a better way
I wasn't rolling in the hay
This sad and lonely rainy day!
But in the lair of my dismay
I did eventually find a way
Joyfully rolling in the hay
A fine and glorious summer's day!
