Words for You

Today, another email, more words for you.
Words that made me miss you, again.
Not that I stopped.

Did you ever think you could be so missed?

Words that spoke from shock and sadness.
Words that I knew.
Words that I felt.
They took me back to the day I heard.

Words saying of your bigger than life personality,
bigger than life stories, humor, generosity.

Bigger than life love.

You were just bigger than life

and you know friend,

you still are.

There will always be words, bigger than life, for you

She makes me smile,
not that half assed smile I give upon seeing someone I know because that's what's expected.
But a REAL smile.
She makes me laugh,
and not the forced fake laugh that I feel obligated to give when people say something
that is really only funny to them.
This is REAL laughter, the kind that comes from the belly.
She makes me dream,
of better days and moonlit dances to come.
She makes me feel love,
like I've never felt love before,
unconditional.
And best of all,
she makes me want to stay awhile longer.

This joy you write about
I know it too, thank God...
I know it too.

You've conveyed this love so beautifully

Thanks for sharing it with us

Love is a celebration of life!

I am just a wolfy dog
erect, I have paws four

I'll pose like this, all white & stuff

Sometimes I woof all feminine
sometimes I go ruff ruff

I hold you little sitting bird
as if I'm holding fate
I turn this way & bare my back
cuz tits? I'm holding eight

Tattered

Yesterday I was mesmerized with a yellow butterfly...

lighting on each lantana ball,
orange, red, gold, pink, yellow.

I was underground...
eye level,
in the pool just a foot or so away...
sneaky me.

Birds eye view....
is what I had,
watching that butterfly work each tiny blossom that makes a whole.
My thoughts went to...
this is his work, feeding and pollinating.

A simple plan of nature.
A beautiful plan of nature,
I smiled,
with the simplicity yet complexity of God's world.

There near the bottom of the lantana
was my favorite "buddy-bye".
He is black,
with beautiful blue and peach edgings.
But not today.

The size of my palm but not today.

I have watched him many a day flutter
effortlessly in my garden...
but not today.

No, not today.

Today, he is horribly tattered,
beyond repair,
having lost half of one wing
a third of the other.

This hit my heart hard,
his beauty tattered,
his life now near to over.

Was this also a part of the simple plan?

That this world should strike back
and bring ugliness, chaos, pain and sadness.

Or is this world now a disconnect
from the simple plan?

And will we all be tattered...

or are we already tattered?
just a bit of what we were meant to be,
what we could be?

pandora

Buddy-bye update...

went out to water this am,
he fluttered and circled my head a couple times,
rested in the tree next to me.

Now his wings uniform,
adapting to the injury, perhaps?

The pretty colors gone, he's drab,
but blends in well with his surroundings.
Natures shelter, I'd like to think.

So fragile yet so strong...
gives me hope for us.

born into a house of women emotions conflict electrified the air there was no male presence logical forbidding to rule most days the youngest of four strong willed girls determined to battle our condition born to a woman who never a chance to be whole destined for the unconventional with an uncanny sixth sense almost scary learned early on to stick with the pack or be eaten forget what shouldn't be known forget we were all victims we ruled our small world the man of the house visited regular and he brought joy a simple joy of man his round face was red he smiled most always voice gentle gentle laugh he made music he made food he made happy he made us victims victims of the need victims of the want victims because we could never ever have him for us

Gentle Is As Gentle Goes



So we do battle until one of us is broken?

You say it is me...
that I can not see.

I say it is you ....
that you can not can feel.

Gentle is as gentle does.

If you wound a heart,
will it feel more or less?
If you blind some one with light,
will they see more or less?

Gentle is as gentle does.

Let me touch you so you might feel with me.
Turn low the light so I might see with you.

Gentle is as gentle does

Blindfold removed
heart wide open
trusting as we go
stronger than before

because

Gentle Is As Gentle Goes ....

my pages foled over
dog eared to mark there place,
only read what you want too,
and not pay attention to the rest.

like i did in the past

The Thinking Rock


yesterday I sat on a rock

it has been awhile

I knew it was there for me

it's been there for centuries

was there for generations before me

will be there for those to come

a simple rock that is easy to miss

not moss covered in velvet green

nor sparkled colors of the Earth's most precious

not unique in shape nor size nor location

just an ordinary rock placed long ago

as I sat most comfortably

looking from this rock's view

there came the most extraordinary revelation

a freeing knowledge rolled in peace

jarring wisdom of here and there

of was and is

and what will be

from this rock and our time to be

I found brave new thought

my mind strong to finish this journey

pandora

I hear the words they resonate

in our empty space

"I'm in my own prison"

{a moment of heartbreak}

'well, aren't we all ?' ... aren't we all





barriers of the mind and heart

bombard imprison capture enslave surpress conform comply

Reality is our own prison


monotony boredom tedium tick tick tick til the end of the start of nothing

Time is our own prison


limitations restrictions constraints

physical mental monetary emotional

Less is our own prison

alone

lonely lonesome amongst many singular in the world

Sad is our own prison

oppression hypocrisy deceit

Injustice is our own prison

distrust helplessness indifference

Defeat is our own prison


caged deep within my soul the words resonate


'I am my own prison'

* Belief and Fear *

I love her

I believe in her
I believe that she is the one
I believe in second,
even third chances
I believe in saviors
I believe, that she is mine
Savior I mean
I believe this could work
I want this to work
I feel I need this to work
She is my third chance
At happiness
At dreams fulfilled
At true love
I believe all of this...

So why... am I scared to death?

Good luck and happiness to you!

You deserve this, Steve.

It is scary to need someone but great at the same time
because they need you too

"it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all"
this is living!

enjoy the love... enjoy the moment ... there is no fear in love
your love is yours to keep forever

thanks for sharing the beautiful words

Cool New Thought


with the new weather around the corner

cool new thought

fresh movement of the stars and planets

cool

not stagnant waters simmering in the heat

not drippy sweat blurring mindless hot

cool thought sitting in a newly shaded yard

cooled as the sun wans south

too cool

cool rushing in

thought to ride a chill on

deeply cool

a shiver kind of thought

swirling smoke in a dark night of cool thought

cool thought without the incessant buzzing bugs

and slapping legs

cool silence

a jack-o-lantern full of cool thought

grinning and believing

flickering candle of cool thought

cool thought that rustles in the leaves

cool thought that blends with the spice

cool thought of holidays past and now

so cool

cool new thought.... the best part of cool 8-)

* Tonight.... *

tonight I needed,
a friend
someone to talk to,
anyone
someone to tell me
that it will be.... okay
that this will work out
that they love me

tonight I needed,
a friend
someone to help me
believe
that there is more than
this
more than I'm feeling now

tonight I needed
a friend
tonight,
I needed you....

but there was no one.
