Fox Friend Nov 2017
Eyes
reflect love and laughter, create a window for the world to view a beautiful soul, perceive so much light, see the vivid brightness of everything around
          but what I choose to focus on is how they barely function without corrective lenses, the color of the iris is too bland, and they allow too many tears to fall.

Hands
sweep away tears softly, give love the opportunity to be tangible, rest upon a friend's back to support, sweep across the ivory to make emotions audible
          but what I choose to focus on is how they shake when in social situations, the lack of length in the fingers, and the obvious absence of another hand to hold.

Legs
support my whole structure, provide transportation for adventures, serve as a resting place for his weary head, function each day without conscious effort
          but what I choose to focus on is how angry red stretch marks line the skin, the way my fat calves get stuck in jeans, when they fail to endure the miles to run.

Snow falls
Winds blows
Storms howls
Spring sings
Kids laugh
Girls dance
Flame grows
Meat cooks
Air smells
Men foul
Cars pass
Bus growls
Dogs bark
Cats yowl
Eyes close
Ears hears
Songs play
I sigh
I hold
I read
Based on what I've done today and what I seen on my walk around
My ally, where thou heart had laid on broken glass?
To thee I gave precious memories, blissfulness and unforgiving pleasures.

O' how I begged, I have surrendered to thee for the sparks of beautiful fruits I yearned for to be embedded in me.
With magic in your eyes, you've enchanted me.

My sorcerer, you came with dusty face, torn cloth wrapped around sharpen waist, you defended me.
To you I brought forth my love, placed demented soul in thy hands for thee to heal.

Ravishing, I walked boldly towards you, because my backbone you are. Thou stood firmly as a prayer to my needs in which thou, my ally fulfilled.

The apple of my eyes, the seed planted in my soul, fire that fought within me that only I know of. We were flesh within flesh, the blood that flows through my veins, the crick in my bones where sweet Juices had flown.

You were that aura that gave me peace, breaking me down like a deadly desease. "Ashtor" abondon... But you appeared spiritually directing me.

My sweet ally, where thou heart had laid on broken glasses?
I'll be there, stained on you like a scar.

To the man who is brave enough to love me in pieces, and make me whole

7 billion on this earth
Each one beautiful from birth
But so many concerned about their girth
Focused on getting the curves
They forget to give themselves love

Everyone is beautiful and unique
Or as the French say; magnifique
We’re all the same, no one’s a freak
If someone says otherwise, don’t give them a kick
Instead, give them a kiss on the cheek

For violence only adds to the animosity
Use love to generate positivity
Pave the way using generosity
Think before you say, have some sensitivity
Toss out all the negativity

And just love yourself.

these eyes
were not made to wander.            
i cannot tell you
if this is a bad thing.

Receive and release energy
only through your gifts.

But, I'm a human and stuff
just happens.

You're right. Your existence
is a product of stuff
just happening.

Like randomly?

No it was more like conscious
decisions and energy transfers
mixed with human passion and
emotion.

The tiredness behind my eyes
Keeps me awake
I push through

Asleep inside
I shut down
Internally
I go dark

No thoughts
No dreams
No breath
No desires
I hush

Its cold
But I'm awake
Focused
I work

I gave in
To keep up
Stayed back
To push forward
I push through

WHEN OBSTACLES ARE TOO GREAT
WHERE DO YOU FOCUS YOUR MIND
AT THE TASK AT HAND
OR DO YOU LOOK FROM BEHIND



IF YOU DON'T LOOK FORWARD
YOUR FATE WILL BE STRUCK
FOR LOOKING FROM THE PAST
YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH LUCK



SO FOCUS YOUR STRENGTH AT
THE IMPORTANT TASK AT HAND
AND LET THE PAST STAY THE PAST
AND ALWAYS SING WITH THE BAND  


THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LIKES AND COMMENTS
MUCH APPRECIATED.
THIS WAS THE THIRD POEM THAT I WAS COMPOSING THE OTHER NIGHT AFTER WORK.

When you get sidetracked by things that don't - and won't - matter, look around. Breathe. You already have all the love that you need. Remind yourself of what and who you want to be. Improve. Focus on yourself. Stop searching for love in people it will never be. Love will find you when it's ready.
Today I realized that this is the most peaceful year I've had for such a long time that I realize I don't want to ruin it by adding ugly surprises. There are so many things to be done, to get better at. That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Look to this when you are hungry, and sinning
and look deeply into your vision, what do you see?
A man made marvel. That is all. Is that what you strive for?
To obtain nothing and hold it for god to see is simply heinous.
Unrepentant ignorance. So is that who you wish to be? The pathetic corner where no one treads, the person who has no future tense, and even the person who lacks any will. Constitution, I should say.
You are who you make yourself, after all who controls everything you do? Inaction and action have the same power, so decide. Choose for yourself, is it now, or tomorrow, or even better, never?
I kinda just made this for me to look at... i need a life coach
