nice read.

We are friends,
it's what we are.
We are close,
in ways I find almost disturbing.
We are living,
a life that makes me wonder.
We are doing,
things together that sometimes leave me wanting.
We are making,
a place to live, but not together.
We are confused,
together yet absolutely sure of who we are.
We are together,
but not as one.
We are loving
but not in love.
We are friends
but so much more.
We are,
we are, what we are.

Your hands
So strong
Yet, so feminine
They hold you
Steady as
You spin
Lift you
From the floor
Push away the
Un-wanted
Un-necessary
Un-savory
Advances
Of drunken
Dreamers
And corrupt
Men

Living from
Song to song
Private dances
VIP illusions
Mind games
Look but don’t touch

Drive them
Crazy

Count that cash
With those
Nimble
Roaming
Counterfeit
Fingers
That make
Promises
Your body
Won’t keep

Make them
Drool
Plot
Plan
And pledge

Ride that
Pole
Grind on
His lap
Give him a
Face full
Of “d” cups
Running over
With imagination

Man magnets
That would never
Stick to his
Corroded
Representation
Of artificial
Prosperity
And hopeless
Lies
Who are they
To criticize
With their
Cheating eyes
And shark like
Frenzies

Send them
Home
To their wives
Who
“Don’t understand”
Rock hard
And bursting
With disappointment
Anger sex
Her reward
For a long day
With the kids
And a fresh
Unspoiled
Box of
Kitty litter

The weekend...

Time for them
To cut
Loose
Time for you
To cash in

Shake it
To make it

Friday
Saturday
Another way
To say
Car payment
Mortgage
Tuition
Two more years
Of this
Acting class
And you’ll
Return to the
Safe missionary
Position
You prefer...

Then you can
Use those
Same strong
Hands to
Strip away
The residue
Of necessity

Just don’t
Be too
Jaded
When you
Finally arrive

What about one's OWN copyrighted materials? Also, if you people write a lot of poetry and short stories, do you know that your materials can be legally used by others, if it's not copyrighted? If it's important to you, I wouldn't be spreading it all over the internet to be used and maybe even copyrighted by dishonest people. Yes, they are out there!
I don't mean to put a damper on things; however,..........

Planted long ago a seed of hope
Discovering the brillance its pure Entity
Abstract visions embedded upon earth
Serendipity takes birth.

Fennel lay rest upon the stone of Humanity
Building within
Strength and deep courage.

Iris as in purple lay upon the Pearls
Innocence of faith
Builds wisdom brought Valor.

A Lily like no other
Stands strong by my side
Surrounding those in need of a guide.

Nurturing my humble soul
Laying upon Mother Earth
Seeds planted long ago
Serendipity takes birth.

down the days
style your hair again
shake the way it was

“Things we Seek”


It all started from the first day of our birth.
And will end when we are dust upon this earth.

As we take that first step learning to walk.
Soon to follow we find our voice to talk.

Endlessly we seem to roam.
As we learn all we can at home.

Soon as we grow older.
We venture out and become bolder.

It is knowledge we all begin to seek.
We learn that each person is unique.

We learn no matter where you go.
And no matter how many people you know.

Happiness is something that comes from within.
It is not something you can buy or win.

One can search the world and will still not find.
You see for happiness is a state of mind.

There is nothing on this earth or from above.
That can make one happy till they learn to love.

One must learn to open their mind and their heart.
Then true happiness will be able to start.

Everything in life must have a foundation.
How far it goes is only up to the imagination.

Those that learn to live life with and open mind.
The answers they seek within time they will find.

Some will realize the answers they seek were always there.
Deep within their heart but they were not even aware.

So you see at times the things that we seek.
Is within our hearts but we never took the time to peak.

I lost an hour
I gained perspective
I lost a friend
I've felt protected
It's just a matter
Of how you view it
To see the good
Life becomes more fluid

I've felt stuck
Kinda like sticky glue
When I focus on the loss
Instead of loving you
The journey is grand
If I give it my very best
Focus on what can be done
Instead of past regrets

Snowballing now
An optimistic view
Taking chances again
Believing dreams can come true
Spring makes it's way
Green sprouts in a flower bed
A breathe of fresh air
Embracing what lies ahead

Rain dancing
Tin roof tops come alive
Life becomes fluid
As we dare to plunge
Take a dive
Taking chances
Believing in a brighter day
Living to the fullest
Come what may

Cleaning out spouts
Of a clogged up head
Bitterness loss
Unforgiveness and dread
Cleaned up the thinking
Letting life again flow
It's a matter of choice
To stay stuck or grow

*************************
This brings a new meaning to "It's not easy being green!" It's not always easy welcoming growth, but boy life is an adventure.

It's been awhile
Since I've seen your smile
Since I've felt your touch
That I miss so much
That sets me on fire
Fulfills all my desires
Your gentle kiss
That I so miss
Soon I'll be back in your arms
Where I am content,safe from harm
No place on earth I'd rather be
In your arms me loving you,and you loving me

True Colors

the primary distinctions
are now misconstrued
blended, a slurry
with all of the hues

watered with lies
and seen in the open
our country no longer
our flag just a token

complacent is mixed
and softened to think
black and white
now are extinct

yes, we will see
truth has its day
promises lies
are meant as they say

empowered with choice
we rolled on the carpet
now they will walk
all over and vomit

the truth we will see
is the color of sin
hear as it echoes
we've allowed it all in

Funny
How things change

yet remain

the same

Funny
How we love
and let go

Like we
need new air

When the air
is already there

Spaced out

no room
to share

Funny
How sarcasm

Enters
frivolously
in my sorrows
and screams
wake up
your alarm clock
is broke

you need to
refuse
sleep forever
taunting I

without
breathing

Funny
How decieving
one thing can be
to another
where another
doesn't get it

Where it
out from in

sarcasm

Funny
This is
How you can dress like
your grandparents
who's style is played out
when you wear the
same style now
it's in

Funny

Ways

sarcasms in

Thank you, are you well?

A brisk, cold, winters morning, brings thoughts of friends like you
A wish I send, for joy today, in everything you do
I hope that everything you wish will come your way today
That you will have a thought of me and send a smile my way

I treasure every smile I get, enjoyment through my day
Getting one that's sent by you, is special, in every way
I know that life gets hectic, and moments you must steal
Like these I take this morning, to tell you how I feel

A thanks to you my special friends, for everything you share
Acceptance, understanding, just showing that you care
For always being there for me, wherever I might go
It means so very much to me, I had to let you know

Thank you my friend(s)

the neverland painting
the cloudy tomorrow
shapes content with shapes
yet today the rocks fall
today i am rocky
today i fall and fall
like rocks

yet today
i walk

If only for one night
I wish I could hold in arms
Protect you from all harm
Take you out the hood
Make you feel good

If only for one night
I'd like to take you out on the lake
Treat you to a nice steak
Afterwards maybe eat some cake

If only for one night
Take you somewhere far
Get away from the bars
Lay under the stars
Away from the cars

If only for one night
I think that would alright
If I had you for one night

Feeling kinda horny

Rhino

I need to wait

unicorning
behind a head
wondering

overhead

the wind sings

hovering
over

a gate

Hunting a hunny
Honey hungry
for me

The whee bits
Weeeeeeaved

Horny
as a toad who
needs his lily
pads
smacked

jumping at

conclusions
on doing

off doing
what i need

tell the phone
to erase me
from it's
memory

outerspaced

for a better
names
place

I can't stay

off to play
on today

the day after
I get fried

a sadder day

mad to date

a tadpole
toadily lost

Growing

watching

legs
sprout loss

a sunny day
tossed

out for
the mundane

monday to
fried days

grayed out

darks clouds
all loud

all in
no out

bandaids
tag like shroud

bait the hook
tug for trout

luminary
Look into me, my love
through the windows of your soul,
so brilliant,
so beautiful,
so profound yet ardent,
witness what you evoke
from the deepest part of my being,
see all that was damaged and broke
tempered by my love for you,
interlaced with tender and gentle mercies
that are yours alone
Look into my eyes
that hide nothing
restored to their former glory
and see yourself.......

(sorry, i couldn't help it)

THEN a nobleman said,
Speak to us of Bad Habits.

And he said:
A good habit is the prayer of our desires, an action that when practiced continuously becomes ingrained in our nature.
But we must beware of Bad Habits, for they can easily be formed.

If an idiot were to tell you the same story every year for a decade,
you might end up believing it through the sheer power of repetition.

Therefore beware, do not let your body become trained against itself, as happened to the man who forced himself to eat spiders and became unable to satiate his appetite and died of eating too many spiders.

You told me that story last year, the nobleman said.
