One minute moment of I’m OK A razors edge of lingering doubt A use by date written for me This attempt will be the last Wondering of the peel and reveal Resilience, bouncing back again I will know for sure this time around No more talk of Thelma and Louise I will exit stage right, walk away Unmoved by breath of your words Travel together spinnaker set Or gybe away, set our own course

I musta been t’only fruit on the tree Or never you would’ve picked me I liquidated the first one in fear If not for me, they should be here You caught me at a bad time Mostly all the fault is mine You placed yourself in serious peril A long date with a scarred devil Drew the blank in a deck of 53 Should have run away in glee Wasn’t bad always I suppose Better when it came to a close I marvel at your maturity now I wanted to, didn’t know how Travelling now with the best Easier now you got rid of your pest

To Victor and Dot's Daughter
Advice to those who are foolish enough to try and read my mind You will do best to remember that I am often out of it. On an average day I can be quite extraordinary. If you have difficulty coping with that, Then how do you imagine I might feel. What is the right side of bed? Why will she be right and not he? I do like a good swear These and other mysteries require no answers

Tell me, those who need to hate What are you creating Love almost always hurts sometime but it is always grand Ours is not a club of members rather an elusive gift drifting through time Love is exquisite it passes by often I urge you to take what is destined

It exists where the desire to control is absent It thrives on empathy It can be understood in silence It understands that it may not know every secret It will share some of its own It will know when to let you cry or when to wipe your tears It is very powerful and best handled with care It looks for the splendour in each other It enjoys loving and celebrating flaws Its survival depends on communication, integrity and respect Its motto is “be yourself and be kind” It can be felt in darkness as well as light It can be risky and requires trust It is best nurtured with patience It expresses acceptance and gratitude It is worth it

Friendship
Think you have lost your shine Look to those who see it always Have wings and need to fly A zephyr of inspiration will lift you Your gifts fall like fine vapour With precious messages of love I am enriched by your spirit Yours to share, mine to revere Your wisdom purchased with tears Laid at the feet of a not so perfect stranger Instinctive compassion, gorgeous humility If your self-worth seems elusive It is because you are priceless

If I am colour blind, Is what I see wrong? If I throw something out and you collect it, Is it unwanted? If you say I am beautiful and I say I am not, Cannot I just agree with you? If you give me a compliment, Who loses if I take it? Is it OK to take what I need? Yes please!! If at first I don’t succeed, Should I try Tai Chi? Will the sun come up tomorrow? I hope so it’s cold enough now. If I am unique, Would I be unequalled, incomparable and unmatched? If I get cold feet, Can I stay and warm them? If courage is the ability to do something I know is difficult, Should I be pleased with myself? If the job is next door to impossible, Is it best that I go there? If my problem is all some-ones else’s fault, How did I contribute to it? If I do everything perfectly all of the time, Would I have more friends or be more loved? If I can think about what disheartens me, Can I think about what inspires me? If there is nothing I can do about it, Should I do something?If If I always stuff it up, Am I exaggerating a bit? If exercise is a ***** word, Can I jump in the puddles? If kindness is currency, How much should I spend on myself? When I give up, Can I call it a time out? If I see a pink polar bear Could it be green?

Flip Side
Darkness of your hedonism Illusion of the consummation Impeccable deceit of the sorcerer Filthy carrion of my sexuality Decreed necrosis, mind and body No applause for carrying your guilt An unbearable weight of emptiness I refused to loath you Preserved it for myself You took me from the world But I know now it has missed me And I have missed it I have friends now Gentle yet powerful Quiet but understanding They know the pain of abuse They applaud me, but not for any shame For my innate goodness I love my friends and they love me Goodbye Mr. Jones
