Hi Minglers...I'm creating this continuous thread to have a singular place to express a wide range of topics...
If you want to join in and post your own thoughts on your various topics your more than welcome to share this space too...
And please, let's keep it clean, with blatant vulgarity being kept off our posts... well, end of speech, now it's time to meet and greet...

Why do you think you want me?
Why do you think I want you too?
…
Am I an acquired taste?
One that you least crave
…
With all your ingenuity
You take your time
Cutting through life’s layers
To reach my heart
…
Once there
You expose your darkest part
Blending madness with sanity
Until we’re rescued by our vanity
And any hint of blame we now savor
…
Am I a unique flavor?
…
To add to your spice rack
As one of many ingredients
Your road to success might lack
…
So that when you’re ready
You can pull up your online recipe
That calls for
A ½ teaspoon of me
A ½ teaspoon of you
And a pot big enough to boil two
To create a hullabaloo
An award worthy fluke
…
Only then do we begin to simmer
Until we’re hot and ready
To be served up for dinner
On a plate
Or on a silver platter
Does the discourse
At this point
Really even matter
…
And what isn’t eaten
Do we save?
For yet another day
…
Or
…
Just throw leftovers of us away

An Addiction I Have To Quit

I want to speak
But I still can’t
The noise in my head
Warns me not to take the chance

Much like the knot in my stomach
And the tight grip on my chest
When I try to form a sentence
I can barely catch my breath

The level of your hatred
You showed for me that day
Crushed all of my feelings
So now I don’t know what to say

Inviting me in, you then pushed me out
Holding me up to be ridiculed
I see which friends give you clout

But I’m a survivor
That’s just what I do
And I’ll find my niche
With anyone but you

Just so you know though
You broke my heart in two
So I hope you’re satisfied
That I’m alone and confused

Because
What you said to others
Is not what you said to me
And it’s still hard to believe
I was fooled so complete

But, I know I take chances
Most people wouldn’t dare do
So I accept the consequences
That my own choices led too

While I’m sure that you’re happy
Now that my voice isn’t heard
And I don’t have any friends
Not knowing who I can trust
With my heart and my words

But, I still wish you the best
Hope you find love and happiness
And a woman’s heart you’ll caress
So your future may be blessed

And like any pain from withdrawal
Right now everything hurts like shyt
But I know I have to make a change
So you’re my last addiction to quit

Without Love, We Don’t Have Much

I think back on Valentine’s Day
How ecstatic I was to get your card
And as I opened it to read what you’d say
There was "no love mentioned" on any page
My heart stopped in that very moment I realized
Without any love, our desires would eventually fade
And if you didn’t express it then, I seriously wondered why
What was your angle, always talking about love, and even marriage
But when you had the chance to actually show it, you held back
Because friends is the only thing you ever asked me to be
And in the end a friend is all you ever were to me
But I'm not really sure if we were even that
After reading what you said about me in your versed attack
Up to then I didn't write about you, until you slammed me first
And even at that point I tried to be polite, carefully choosing my words
You on the other hand showed me that some people call hate love
When, without any qualms you gutted me, you even made stuff up
Even now in hindsight it's only me you choose to blame
After I got tired of the guff, and quit playing your patronizing game
Regardless to the spin that is now your current claim
I told you from the start where it is that I aim
To love, to be genuine, to be loyal, and share unconditional love
And it may be difficult, maybe even downright tough
But without love, even at the puppy stage
Dreams and promises aren’t worth much

What to do
your so far away
when i need distraction
and escape

The winds of change
and whats in store
i just don't know
much anymore

Clear my head
and take the shot
or maybe I'll just
smoke and rot

I can't begin
till I've seen the end
it is the course
that i'll defend

And ever after
come what may
then to begin
another day

Stranger Danger

a stranger approaches you
he wants to be your friend
and asks for directions
---
will you let him in?
---
innocently
happily
you tell him
everything he wants to know
---
and he tells you
the way “he wants it to go”
---
time is spent
---
talking
laughing
crying
confessing
nurturing feelings
---
eventually
yet quickly
he tells you he loves you
---
you’re good friends now
---
you tell him you love him too
and become best of friends
---
as time goes on
you see him differently
that he isn’t what he pretends to be
and he doesn’t really care
in fact
he’s a player
with his own game
and he knows your address
and your real name
---
he also feels entitled
to play with you his own way
and being without a conscience
guilt in him doesn’t exist
especially if there’s hell to pay
doing wrong he’ll never admit
---
so rather than apologize
to ease the strife
he makes excuses
then goes on with his life
---
so what do you do now?
how can you quietly back out?
or should you scream
and make a scene?
opening yourself up
to even more of his decree
in that he says
“now you belong to me!”
---
rather than setting you free
he won’t let you run
you’re hapless
and he’s pure evil
the devil’s own son
with his grip on your throat
and he will never let it go
---
instead
stronger and tighter
becomes the noose of his hands
as he strangles out your life
if against him you stand
---
so ladies beware
when you’re in the devil’s lair
don’t talk to strangers
or you haven’t got a prayer

Be With Me

how long are you going to lurk around on the edge
I want out from behind these walls in my head
as soon as one door closes
another opens again
so
what are you waiting for
are you afraid to come on in
mi casa es tu casa
just remember to wipe your feet
leave behind the dust of the road
come inside and be with me

Before We Say Goodbye

We’re awake to our charm
pulsating through us
the more we talk
lights come on to disarm
the attraction is mutual
and caution slows our
greeting, par usual
whether in step
or
out of reach
there’s no boundaries
we can’t breach
as excitement stirs us
feelings break free
and nothing else matters
except our being complete
close by
or far away
we’re definitely in tune
with each others psyche
with our biology
our biography
our geography
and
our level of insanity
who will be the first
to take us by surprise
lay down the disguise
open all our eyes
tighten existing ties
dispel any white lies
quiet each mournful cry
by admitting our love
before it dissipates
and we say GOODBYE

I know You and You know Me

You know me
…
You make me feel so happy
How can any of this be?
My strangers, my friends
I never want this to end
On one path created by two
Or is it a few
Is where they’ll find us
Me and you
And the rest of you too
…
I know you
…
My body ignites on the very first cue
With a knowing skill tantalizing me
Submitting, I’m totally consumed
Recognizing it immediately
That very second is all it took
I knew and felt that look
Neither is ever misunderstood
…
It took only one pass of your hand
And I was taken, was this part of the plan
You stroked my mind through my heart
So similar, we’re friends from the start
…
Silent magic we two/few see
Hypnotizing
…
Floating
…
Emoting
…
Devoting
…
Reaching out for you
…
And the other few
…
Reaching out for me
…
Now this is what I call “We”
…
And it’s time to just breathe
To think about our philosophy
...
And decide what’s best for you and me

He Tests Me

Tell me how often have I searched
for I know not who
lost for so long
hope is barely mine to hold on
…
alone in many a world of strangers
blinded to any of the dangers
I cannot see his face
but his voice clearly is upon my ears
his tone and whispers
my silence hears
…
I know his footfall
when he nears
I feel his presence
defending
in his absence
he beckons me
with mystery’s attraction
I am helpless to withstand
…
before my journey began
I had to crawl
only courage
taught me to walk
with each step to his heart
he knows my feet will find him
for he stands in my path along the way
watching me
testing me
willing me
to accept our destiny
…
this is he
…
this is me
...
together are we

A New Love Is Born

I walked away
---
But you made me stay
Within arms length
Never out of your reach
Is what you planned for me
---
Every day
You want my body
I keep you at arms length
But I’m no match for your strength
---
Looking down on me
As you breathe
Heavy
Our bodies seek reprieve
As you plant your seed
So deeply in me
---
Warmed by your prowess
The strong affect of your power
My needs growing by the hour
---
Only you can touch me like this
---
Your penetrating stare pierces my skin
As your erection slowly pulsates in
---
Your eyes spark a fire
Engulfing us with your desire
To hold on
To control
To never let this go
---
So excited are you
At the scent of my perfume
You carry me to another room
Then eagerly consume
Every inch of me
---
How I’ve missed love’s hot embrace
With satisfaction all over your face
You tie me up with silken lace
And slowly move your hand between my legs
---
Quivering I twist
As silk tightens at my wrists
There is no way to escape
From a long night like this
---
In the early hours morn
A new love has been born
To mend our hearts torn
Forget we the scorned

We Take Our Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My spirit is so calm for now
it feels good to forget somehow
in the midst of turmoil I just freeze
not letting anything get the best of me
I’m balancing sooo many plates in the air
as each falls it breaks my ability to compare
the weight on my shoulders tries to keep me down
but you lovingly make me smile by clowning around
you know the tune of my heart and how it beats for you
and together we understand impossible is what we do
we don’t want sad wrinkles on our faces to grow
so we nurture our love by remaining close
in each others minds we keenly relate
life… we take time to appreciate
for tomorrow we may not see
lines between you and me
