*You made the dark veil
around my heart
open and burst with love
when you held my scars
and declared them beauty
//On love//
I recently met an amazing person on here who I grew close with. They make me happy for the first time in a long, long time. Totally disarmed me. So I dedicate this to my beautiful friend. You know who you are.

Traveler
Transparently composed
Secret thoughts boldly exposed
Indiscriminately absurd
The heart remains undisturbed
Opened to new wonders
The mind travels asunder
To and fro
The mysteries slowly unfold
Visible now
Your weary
Restless
Invisible soul

I know you can stimulate me with your hands
that's easy....:)
Now I want to see what you can do to my mind
Let's have a stimulating conversation
****** me with your words
Tease me with some ****** poetry
Sing to me a song from your heart
Tell me what you want to do to me....
Be VERY descriptive
Take your time with me ~let it last a little longer
The bond between us will only grow stronger
The lesser known erogenous zone for women is the mind... :)

I'm not Patroitic. Patriotism breeds a sense of arrogance and causes people to succomb to hate propaganda. Its a tool the government uses to stir people up and condem those who think for themselves. 9/11 was tragic, but it gave us an oppurtunity to unite for a noble cause. Instead people turned their fear, and anger on their fellow man. Instead of furthering the cause of harmony. Polliticians have promoted racism.

Fact-checking is meaningless if
People have no respect for facts.
Just watch social media and you
Will see how the public reacts

To natural disasters or shootings.
Conspiracy theories quickly abound
And suddenly the Internet is
An informational battleground.

Knowing the truth no longer gives us
A feeling of calm or a sense of relief,
Since few people have an incentive
For altering a false belief.

Experts say our psychological
Weaknesses are targets for those
Who spread misinformation for
Ideological ends. These pros

Know how to use the media well.
Their credibility's merely a ruse.
And suddenly the falsehoods are
Amplified all over the news.

Hacks and kooks and fringe group crazies
Have been around forever; it's true.
If there's a chance to spread their lies,
They do not miss a cue.

Fringe groups going mainstream. Yikes!
That's a recipe for disaster,
Especially when a gullible public
Eats up the nonsense faster and faster.

Orwell's 1984
For many years made us wary.
The year twenty seventeen
Is also looking ****** scary.

I would like to paint the experience
the sun in your eyes
so bright
in contrast of the
green grass

I would like to paint the smell of you
the warm sun
flies whirring
your hand on my waste

would like to paint the feeling when you
kiss my neck
rest your cheek on my shoulder
and move your fingers across my hand

I would like to paint the beautiful image
of your smile
and voice
your face so close to mine

I would like to paint the trees with its long branches
surrounding us
making our view
so beautiful

I wonder what we would see
putting the  
sound of laughter
your hand in mine
beside, but outside, the picture
of the green grass
before our eyes

I wonder if you still would be swilled by
how beautiful it all is
I wonder if the sun and warmth would
feel through
knowing this image is what I saw
next to you

I would like to paint these feelings
so I always remembered

and every time in doubt
down or blue
return at this picture
and feel what I felt
when I was
beside you

Fulfilled, satisfied, a gentle kiss,
