Tricky Antiques
Times have changed but the language remains.
She's conservative is mild for plain and boring Jane
Independent bandages forever single and lonely
While standards are considered has bin fairytales.
Fidelity and honesty is considered greasy
And to speak one's mind is labelled bossy.
To be married and with child is the goal
And anything else is barren and old.
To sift through choices of a mate
A woman is branded as difficult to sate.
To decide not to settle for the vanilla man
A lady is crucified and the tramp
But a guy is medalled a "man".
Men are taught that less is more
And women are expected to be demure.
To go for the degree is toasted with weird and geeky.
This new world is so tricky.

Things Unknown
To crave
The feel of hands whose touch you've never felt
To long for butterfly kisses of one
You've never met.
To long
For conversations on benches where you have never sat
For the intoxicating scent of one leaning forward scanning the umpteenth item in your cart .
To miss
Saturday morning snuggles that you've never had
And breakfast in bed even though the eggs are bad
Long drawn out phone calls at the end of the day
About oceans, football, hairspray and clay.
To yearn for someone you've never met
But is out there, somewhere,
Your heart you're willing to bet.

A Google-less World
The attics would be dusted
Looking for that Encyclopedia collection
We bought from that annoying salesman
When we much preferred to watch Lifetime instead.
To say goodbye to Rabbi Google
Would mean that we wouldn't be dying from a paper cut
And doctors' offices would be demanded
And not for a second opinion for what Doctor Google initially thought.
A world-less Google
Would mean getting to know each other for real, for real
And not after we had Google searched for pictures instead of just going to meet the real deal.
A world without Google,
Would hopefully pique and not kill our curiosity
That we would once again make dates in the libraries.
A Google less world may be just what we need
To get off our laurels, to explore, to feel,to succeed.

Grinds of love
My love you are dark ill drink you away.
Power energizing you send me afray
Sweet yet bitter I drink you anyway
Infatuated in love your love is in grinds
Dark or light I can even drink you at night
You dont know but you gave my soul light.
Addictive and loving your heart shows no bound.
Taken a sip I feel I can conquer the world now
Every day you are new. Its the love that I brew
With out coffee my life wouldn't reach you.
If coffee was god id gladly be its angel
With coffee my love is a complete stranger.

River of Me
If there is beauty, there is the opposite
we have all stood where it’s dark
choosing whether or not to burn a candle
that gladly sheds light......
on the exact thing that tries to ruin us
I lit my candle, to look at my storm closely
I have always known that a river will tell
your reflection will spill on everything
it guides you to where you will overcome
sometimes, the river will carry it away
never thought it would pull me from myself but when it did, I fought...
for both my flesh, and spirit
I started chasing.....
but I couldn’t do it forever
so I drank the water
I devoured myself
I am now the river
a river of me....

Trust Issues
Trust only walks a certain distance now
all we can see is a blurry image
of what is really consuming one another
standing a few feet apart
but having no clue of what caught on fire
being burned alive from the inside
most will keep a straight face when approached
played with like game pieces
we continue to live in the wrong....
we are not the ones that can’t be trusted
I can admit to my demons
none of us asked for, but still have them
each time you look someones way
they can smile while you speak to them
but they cry behind closed doors
they hurt....
half the people don’t know why
but for the other half
making it to the end of the game
that can see a shadow for what it is
unafraid......
genuinely smile and continue to live

Memories
A Short while ago
Glances past in those eyes
Covered in mask that caring face
Testing my blood with gloves on hand
Turned negative when I will meet again
Say thanks to Corona or not!!!

Where there is a Women
Blooms a beautiful bud
In a garden of greens
Life it shine on its plains
A soft touch is all
From the baby fingers
Smiles and Joy abound
Little steps crawls and cries
Chirps the birds with her rise
Her presence creates miracles
Soulful as she spreads magic
Fearless yet shares the love
Leaves a piece of her imprint
An angel with grace
Life revolves at her pace
Immersive she impacts
A role she switches swiftly
With undue credit she builds
Passes on and carries on
Never tried to be tied
For what she would be
The world is as she want to be.

Tranquil
The smiling settlement
Of the joyous Sun
Departing for the day
To the Shining white
A beauty rises above
To the glittering twinkles
Sweeps in kisses
On my chin the breeze
In the silence of night sky
With the last sounds of chirps
On the lap of desert sand
A dream in tranquility

I never felt this so quietly before. Most days it attacked with vibrancy; so much to the point it frightened me. But here, I sensed it within the nuance of the voices. There was a change. And it was coming, no matter how much we despised it's presence.

No Man, No Passion
In this new world I live in.
I open my eyes to a new dream.
While not lacking in creativity,
With thoughts flowing like streams.
Why is it so hard to focus,
To figure out what "I" really mean?
A man in the mirror with no passion,
With a world full of distractions.
As of lately, that has been all.
I have been seeing.

That Person
I deny the void inside of me screaming
The hand I need locked into mine
A shoulder I feel for when I catch myself leaning
That person knowing my enemy like their own
Will bust out some bullets if they have to
Always there before I even pick up my phone
One that sees beauty over skeletons in my closet
Always a head shake when they hear my name in gossip
Even with an empty wallet, they never expect any type of profit
To them my company alone is worth being desired
Our connection shaped into bolts
A spiritual vibe that could cause a fire
To me they could never become a liar
Both ready to boost the other in order to see us higher
My soul gets flatter than a tire
But when I’m down....scraping the ground
Right away....they plan to stay
Instantly becoming my supplier

Morning Chirpings
Where did you come from
Chirping in my mornings
Honey I never would have come
For your brown feather adornings
Unsaid is your cute little beauty
You and me in a love affair
Do I have a choice dear cutie
We see each other here.

Treading
The pen,
Like hearts,
Sometimes holds heavy.
May this gentle release,
Keep it steady.
For something dry,
Isn't always dead.
My words,
May they always tread.

Again
It's been awhile
Since I began
And things haven't gone
As I have planned
But it doesn't mean
The sun won't shine again
And it doesn't mean
That I can't be better than
I was the day before
The hour before
The minute before last
I still have a choice
To be who I am
Again.

Love for life
I thought I was a goner
That's why i felt so down
I stooped to becoming a loner
My face always shielded a frown
Until that day when i met that person
Who pulled me away from that spiral
Rather than make my condition worsen
She made me convinced today wasn't my final
It gave me hope and energy
As I started to believe in myself
That led me to forgive my enemies
So that i could at least die well

Her Angry Cry
Youuuuuuuu!
Leave meeeeee.
I know why it is the way it is and yet I sit here.
Leave me in peace to have my moment.
I am not what you really want,
so why the hell am I hereeeeeee!

Fear Is A Lie
I believe in youuuuuu
fear is a lieeeeee
so confront your fearrrr
and jump from your plane.
The door will open
you will jump
you will feel panic for 10 seconds
there will be a gasp for air
a scream of silence
but
thennnnnnn
you will feel something new inside of you
you will be on the other side.
The other side of life because you will hit your maximum and realize there was nothing to fear in the first place.
Pure bliss is here.
You will see all there is to see in a whole new light.
