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 [...]
Heart Inscribed
I love the feeling
of you wrapped into me
Intricately, night after night we seam
So connected that we’re threaded
And it’s not only in our dreams
We contest what needs professing
And take each other to extremes
Having never explored the other
Do you remember when we
Frolicked and played amidst disorder
Learning one another intimately
Wondering how your needs so easily became
My spirit’s feed for [...]
A Fleeting Encounter
Hear me out for a minute; I wasn’t just thinking about me
I was thinking of my heartbreak and recent insecurity
I was thinking, damn, despite this, I’m feeling you immensely
Knowing I had baggage and honestly not wanting you to see
I didn’t want to share everything, embarrassed by my feelings
Wanting so badly to move on, but emotions [...]
Erotic Trust
I was that smooth operator
Made love with lavish lust
My desires no procrastinator
Spent – day and night
Reenacting love songs
We’d skip the heart-breakers and through sweat and funk
We fucked
There was no requirement for things tasting of sweetness
No fake bliss
While licking pussy like a thirsty kitten being weaned
Off its mom’s tits
Your sweet milk never tasted guilty in the mouth
I was a [...]
Times Waits For Love
Miles of roadway overlapped every flutter
All my thoughts centered on making the journey
Miles of roadway separated beating hearts
Trying to pry apart what both had given – not taken
Those unspoken words still owned our thoughts
Those we thought were better left unstated
Didn’t want to profess anything for naught
Despite faux protests ringing loudly in my ears
Those three words you had been waiting to hear
Lack of [...]
Universal Love
If Genesis is a metaphor
For creation
Our love exists readily
All over the universe
Evolving post apocalyptic
Surviving centuries of existence
Without holding hands or
Embraced in open mouth kisses
This single celled organism
Heart breaks for you
Lucky to have your love
At least a century or two
We’ve seen lovers create
Who were greater than great
Never to be reunited
For they met with earlier fates
You Send Me
You sound good
Like jazz in the morning
Take my head on a ride
That can only be described
In lullabies past
They play slow as our souls’
Oddly shaped matter becomes plentiful
By dancing circles in fine tune
With thumping beats sound proofed
Through heart and guts
It requires both to love me
But beware ’cause
My love scenes don’t come pre-screened
And you wouldn’t be
The first woman to over-stand
Her role to be [...]
