You called me sugar
but sweetened your tea with **honey
A metaphor about someone cheating on his wife.

And he picked her from the blanket and looked into her brain. Stared deeply in her brown eyes and knew that she'd cause pain.

Knew she'd cause destruction and it would be in vain. Knew she'd be a heartbreaker and it'd be her claim to fame.

While he traced her small, soft black curls he knew he held a universe, a Galaxy , his world.


He knew that someday he'd have to let her go. To be free, to learn, to continuously grow. That day he knew was nowhere near, but tears choked him. Full of fear.


There would be people who would try to tear her down, bruise her self esteem, taint her crown. They would hurt her and tell her that she was worth less because what was between her legs and under her dress.

They would show her the meaning of love and the pain that comes from loss. They would deny her truths and dethrone her in her Kingdom as her own boss.


But she'd also know sunshine, smiles, happiness, and gain. How to walk through storms, and dance in the rain. How to love without limits, and how to harness the pain, and use it for strength, for power, to gain.

So as those hard tears ran down for miles, he wiped them away with a crooked smile.

For he knew that she'd find her place in the world. His beautiful, fearless, baby girl.

A sweet music of life
A song echoing love
A melody in happy moments
A thunder in times of pain
An end in silence
Lyrics of life
A melody or noise
Our heart beat

1.A walk with one's ego

"Take your ego out for a walk", the master asked, all aspirant monks
one monk who took his pet across the river left it there and returned
the rest after a nice walk hand in hand, brought each, little wet but
rejuvenated, missing master's word in it's real sense altogether,
only for the wise one, the door opened, others had a lesson, painful

2.Tending one's ego
Two  monks , still not ready to part with
their egos,tended both the way each deemed fit ,
The first, so obedient, followed his ego  like a lamb,
one other made it follow him with it's strange requests,
a third the first one to **** his ego with his sword of mind
kept smiling seeing the misery of both still not bold enough.

3 Catty

Ego, was her, fluffy black pet *****
her show piece, she always loved to pamper,
crafty was the creature, hell bent  to keep
her reputation as an attention grabber,
the fact was this, the cat and her mistress
were thoroughly insecure, borrowed colors,
caterwauling in the sound of screeching tires,
she mated with Tom cats that came in jumping walls ,
her mistress was entertained, felt proud,
so ego grew large to the stature of a feline 'top dog',
it's metamorphosis made her owner too bloat up,
Ego one would have to think is her alter ego.

4.I won't ditch my guide dog

Every one thought she was nice, why so egoistic
gets her way every time,  projecting her larger than life ego.
"Well it's my guide dog to get around, as I am one blind person,
I am not yet a renunciate on a quest, I chew my bones too well"

A part of myself but never on the surface,
I try to suppress it but can't hide it from my eyes.
The fire that burns like hell,
The threat that spells suicide.
I stand feeling the burn within,
That I set upon myself,
That I try to extinguish myself.
The darkest secrets only I know,
And a friend of mine I trusted too well.

In the

Gaze of the police


SHE

sister - goddess

Emerging



From the shadows

Pilgrim song

Revolutionary Ways


Youth remembered

And the early days

Eyes !

Thru the every fear

Of any

Woman or man

Who would be free


Unto

The child your heart shelters

The one that always remains

"""

The poker table

They have stopped playing those games

The deserted beer halls

The broken dames

She sees !

Eyes of light

Watched by the police


TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE !

Let us go  quickly to her

Please !!

When you can see the end of the road,
But the hands you carry remain empty;
Your shoulders weary of the load you bear,
The yoke of your deeds, the curse on your name.

In fear of the shadows surrounding you,
But a hope that whispers, "Carry on";
To leave the familiar behind,
To step into the unknown, into faith.

When you find the devil that shatters you,
In the mirror every morning, haunting you;
When your very being, the one you know so well,
Is the nightmare you live each day.

“So what are we?” He asked with a smile.

I felt my heart drop out of my chest.
I realized that our innocent fun
Has turned into something deeper,
Something with more meaning.

“You tell me,” I murmured playfully.

With my heart pounding and thoughts racing,
I was taken over by complete happiness.
I realized my love for him about three months ago,
He must have finally realized he feels the same way.
We were both ready to take our relationship to the next step.
As I waited for his answer, his lips curved upward, his eyes sparkled.
I was so happy to not have to be his little secret anymore,
To be able to tell my best friends about our late nights together,
About the way his hands cradle my body while we share sweet words,
To tell them in detail about every memory we have lived.

The next few words that escaped his mouth seemed to hang in the air,
Then proceeded to slip through my ears, slide down my throat
And strangle my lungs, leaving me gasping in despair.
My heart exploded on the scene.
Yes, I could here my heartstrings tearing, one by one.

And Three weeks from hearing those words I’m still picking shards of glass from my lungs,
Coughing blood up every night while shaking on the bathroom floor,
Attempting to piece my broken heart back together and find myself repaired.

“No strings attached?” He said.
A short memoir I captured with words.  If you may relate, then please remember that an unrequited love is not worth your pain.
