Soul Deep
There’s a deep richness in my affinity for you
A spiritual arousal of intoxicating sensual
You spray me with the odor of my favorite scented brand
Your sexy nature arouses each and every one of my senses
Every shade of the deepest brown is reflected in your eyes
I feel a sense of harmony in knowing that with you everything [...]
To The One Riding Shotgun
What describes this super intense
Longing, aching, rumbling feeling
Can’t quite concentrate on anything without any meaning
Except on how to keep our boat from reeling
And how your body is the fruit that I see myself peeling
How my spirit is searing
With the passion of an electrified charge
How your protons push my buttons
Particles strum chords across my heart, and
it [...]
There Are Always Haters
We were on a long walk in the park
in late August
The lake water shimmered against the sun’s gaze
fall was upon us
And I stopped to lean against a tree
It was the farthest one I could find
You leaned against me and a passerby said something like,
“It won’t last ladies” as if there was something we were hiding
When [...]
The Universe in Discord
They shootin’ rockets at the moon
Claim they lookin’ for water
Awarding President’s Peace Prizes
He ain’t done shit to stop the slaughter
Requires a crisis of conscious
Why a crisis is upon us
But I don’t wish for terrible things
Only for them to be spun off us
Brought out into the light
To get to the center of truth
You gotta open up [...]
How’s Life Cheating You
Two years in review and much has changed
Opportunities arise on a daily base
And still I put myself out there
Unafraid to take blame
Of my past indiscretions
And the danger I faced
When I came clean about cheating
I’ll never forget the day
Drove over to my mistresses place
I had a lot to say
When I got to the door I heard the music escaping
The [...]
Deciphering A Purpose
Every day I reflect on the person I am becoming.
A constant work in progress I used to call myself, but it’s more like a constantly evolving process in which I’m resolving my former doubt – living life as I know how.
There are times when eliminating toxic things and people from my world take their toll.
But [...]
The Dark Side of Affairs IV
I was recently asked by a reader of my blog: How or what did you read or do in order to initially get it together!?
I met my karma head on. After all, it was mine - I earned it, I deserved it, I knew it was coming and so I braced and prepared myself for the world [...]
Relationships: Cancer Changes Everything
(circa 1998)
Where is my will
Where has my spirit gone
Flown away like a dove
Released and peaceful
Yet I am not pure
All perfection a figment
Always the occupant
Of mortal thoughts
Imperfect premises
Must it be this way
A constant contemplate…
We went from being at peace to declaring war in a matter of days. I absorbed the shock the best way I knew [...]
The Darkness Surrounding the Light of Day
It was surreal to be honest
Of the vast desolate silence in the house
The only noises felt were within rays
Streaming in from above
Shining in through the skylight window you so love
So much for camping and road trips and festivals to come
Oh Clark Street – you must have known this was our summer
What our plans consisted of
And [...]
The Transformation of Lives
How is it
That in such a short time
You have produced a fear
That has crippled our stride
As I watched my baby’s face succumb
To news neither of us were expecting
We became numb
Breast cancer
the diagnosis
It was confirmed to us
It had dug in its trenches
Tracked footprints across
Our hearts, beating away
Never detached for naught
As we prayed for an answer
I felt [...]
