finding the spirit to start up again
aka... to those who crave limelight There seems to be this growing social stigma for individuals to need to acquire the attention of others and hit a homerun. This very desire can lead one to ruin. You see, if you want to stand out so much it will only be a matter of time before you do, one way or another.   And to stand out is to separate one's self, and eventually enough separation leads to... ...isolation... ...and then you're alone, amongst your own, and you will have put yourself there! The trick to winning within the tribe, is to become one of the tribe, and be one with the tribe. That's all Easy.  ;^)

nervous chatter
Of all the people I've come across, I find myself to be the least deserving of any.  I can put put my heart on a sleeve to lure you in and then sntach your own heart right out from under you.  I have no idea why I do this but it is time for it to stop. I just met this gal a month and a half back.  She is so fuckin' cool, it was hard not to share every moment that she turned to look into my eyes.  I just don't think I am ready.  She could do it, though.  Definitely a possibility. She is thin and masculine looking at the same time.  She just might have the most perfect looking face I have ever seen.  Symmetrical to a T, perfect.  She has a girl next door look without the innocence.  Just enough sculpting to her jaw and chin, her points are obvious and rounded just enough so as not to be pointy.  Her cheek bones are not highly pronounced, she's not too cute looking.  There is a balance of wisdom and playfulness in her eyes.  She has class, high class, in my opinion. She did a little stretch at the end of the night, I paid no attention.  God how I wanted to look, I knew better, now is not the time to look.  Now is the time to appear interesting and interested on a platonic level.  The class, the friends, all of it.  She came to sit with me, I was in heaven for a few hours tonight.  I could easily allow myself to want someone again.  How powerful is that? I could be on the road to recovery.

Sadie part 1
They live here, it is not just their home and backyard.  It is their playpen as well as their church.  It is provider and sustainer, their Mother.  They own it and it owns them.  You and I may visit, we may stay as long as we like, partake in the beauty, become inspired by its vastness and variety, and then move on.  They live here, always.  Even when they can't be here they take the forest into their dwelling to keep the spirit alive within.  Yes they live here full time, the forests are always on their mind, always calling to them, reminding them.  You and I check in from time to time, they live here.

forest and fey
It was my last swig   before I hit the gallows of a slumber    not too far mistaken as an escape from the    void and emptyness of a lover's life's dreams. All be it! ... is not misgivin',      but mistrusted in a lame being's spirit mind.

wine as I not dine...
Shadows dance in the candles shimmer warming the room with cinnamon grounds Soft rhythms playing to a background of lovers moans and slapping pounds Solid drinks peppering our tounges and burn in chest going down Sheets of white feel even softer by the touch of skin, light brown She looks into me, licks her lips with curls of auburn dangling down. Saying goodbye to such sweet times quelled only by a new love in a new town.

goodbye to night time fun
Big souls come in little packages.   If she's 50 kg then I'm the pope. An elfin looking Buddhist, mother, entrepreneur, musician, and a total goddess of class. Our eyes met, essences shared, hearts touched.   She"s ready, I'm not. ******

sadie
You are not alone In your pain All your understanding Has been contained Open your eyes Beyond what you see Forget what you think you know And just try to breathe Woven into the fabric of consciousness Are the assumptions of reality And the deception of imagination But mostly a need to survive Put down the knives And walk outside I feel for you...

I give a gift to you, my undivided attention. As numbers are called, plates jiggle, waitresses frantic about the lateness of our order... just blurred peripherals, right now and for the infamentesinal moments that follow there is you, me, and nothing else I can't take my eyes off of you for a second!

present moments
A point in which I look back on my life and what I can't help but notice most is that I was not present for what would become some of my best life experiences.
