Tony
was an attorney,
torn between his morals.
He could close cases cleanly,
no matter
the quarrel.
But his impeccable
character
creates a dilemma;
Tony always noticed,
as he sat down for dinner,
defeat,
nepotism,
ignorance abound.
Astounded that injustice
was easily found.
As label managers
drugged
and *****,
judges
excused it,
by calling it
fate.
Men lording it over
with promotions in their pants,
while Trump's on TV,
with his bigoted rants.
Tony feared
for the future,
mutual destruction was near.
In fact it's
probably probable
it happens this year.
He wanted
to vent pent up feelings,
so he
refused the judge's
shady dealings.
He lost cases
but not cause,
won activist's applause.
For the rights of the ignored,
he'd draw attention to the laws,
that were
unfair or
unjust.
With his heart and his soul,
Tony
won our
trust.
It's a ****** up world.
We need a Tony or two.

we were poor
but not deluded

and when
van morrisson's
"brown eyed girl"
comes on the radio on
that worn
old
brown rug
my brother and I
started tapping our feet
shaking our heads
to the music and
our sisters are smiling
at us and
our mother is laughing
at us

and all we needed was
laughter and love
a prayer and a song

turn up the radio

I dream about being in love
the longing for wearing your lips
the holding and touching
hands traveling to discover
every single part of you
while breathing in the same
sweet strawberry air as you

I dream about being so consumed with you
that all that never really mattered
fades away as the
pink cotton candy clouds appear
a love so deep
I almost can’t believe
that you’re only a dream

Please,
dance with me
on these
cotton candy clouds.
I promise,
you'll be safe.
If only you would
trust me,
the sky could be
our limit.

Tonight, let's take a respite from the kids, get all dressed up, and head for the local grocery store.

We can even wear matching masks, take turns pushing the cart, and steal Kisses from the candy aisle.

You're on top of my shopping list, little lady, along with the melons and a case of toilet paper.

It may not be dinner or a movie, but it has its own romantic aura of about six feet in diameter.

Take my gloved hand & let's dance away at the checkout line, mask-to-mask. It's love in the time of COVID-19.

HSPs sounds like a company
A network
It is an acronym that we want others to accept before they understand
If they possibly can
People with gentler stronger hearts that see the world differently  
Live the world from a higher plain
Bullied and members of the elite walking wounded
Always creative thinkers  never understood
In time would stand out from the crowd time
We still ask many questions and sometimes have answers before the question is broached
We weather many storms and let them go a little longer
Wounds heal but scars bring things back to the heart of the matter
We are all about heart
We take things out of the flow
We choose not to go with it
We are all about soul
We are Highly Sensitive people

Rain on a flower
Rain on me
The sky has a plan
Tomorrow you will see
The sun shine again
In light of today's dream
