Right when I thought, I lost it all; I stumbled upon, What seemed like a gritty rock. It lay stranded amid the street, Apart from its peers in the sand; I found my reflection in that debris, Its case struck one as being similar to mine. I gave it a little punt, But he hardly shook an inch; His stubborn self refused to sway or stray. Day after Day, I returned to his side, An ongoing battle against his heavy frame; His irregular shape bore the weight of every strike, Chipping away the jagged edges of a past I didn't like. Through weeks of stubborn nudges and kicks, He shed the grit, the grime, the rust; Leaving all his fine impurities, To crumble in the dust. Until, smoothened down to a rounded core, I gave him one last desperate budge— And watched him break his heavy stance, Refusing now to yield or judge. He caught the wind, he found his pace, Free from the friction of the past, A rolling stone upon the street, Finally moving, free at last. For I thought I was stuck with him, But it was the other way around; I was slow to realize, The teachings he had brought. That day he became a great teacher, And I his humble student.

Rolling Stone
a play on me, the word thought chases me past, our pasts, our collective, but uncollected past, uncollected, un~collated, we deliberate separately but equally thousands of miles prying us apart, our anonymity preserved, we are liberated, sort of, not really, but here comes the weekend, and we all are free at last, Sort of

"Earth" By: Z
Comedy and tragedy never seem to be distributed evenly Not sure destiny would even recognize me Nor I it honestly But could it, would it, should it be able too avoid me deliberately? Surely if I coulda, I woulda and probably shoulda taken it more seriously I know this is my millionth apology, That's not lost on me I'm so sorry that I happen to be so sorry If you could find it in your heart too forgive me It'd be Just another thing that I envy Endlessly For all of eternity ©2024

~•§•~ Coulda, Woulda, Probably Shoulda ~•§•~
Do not gaze in wonder Paralyzing completely with one single Purposeful glance The depth of your stare affects me more than expected Sadness in my soul climbs to the surface and escapes my lips with a sad drawn-out sigh Quiet Heavy The nostalgic moments play in head from the carefree days of our youth With sounds of our four lungs breathing in synchronization the only noise disturbing the comfortable silence dousing the room The sarcastic smile I have grown fond of lands on your transfixed expression as you state in a simple loving manner "We do not get along like we used to. I swear there is no one else in the world I would rather have kick my *** than you and your dainty yet damaging fist" Wanting to one-up heartfelt compliment I reply "I agree completely, there is no one else on earth who could ever hug me so tight my feet lift off the ground afterwards and have amazing passionate make-up *** with besides you"

One Deliberate Glance
You want to be manipulated, you like it this way, to be robbed from your agency, to be imprisoned deliberately. And in the sandbox play as you will, With known constraints And known space to fill. You want it altered just so enough As to tell things apart, But to be told where they belong, Hinted at what’s right or wrong. And in the new stuff find exhilaration , But newness is old news; Just give them the passion.

Give Them the Passion (2020)
The paths taken Feel so unforgiving To hear the words You say are true Stand strong and linger With a bitter taste Can't you tell what's Right or wrong And if the affects Lay within my reach Just yesterday You pulled me in to help Feel safe And now your like The Cheshire cat And his foolish grin How can you wear two Faces at a time Which one do you feed At any given time

Two faces
God like beam, your radiance in my eyes this time is fast going, it’s turned exotic having fun, I’m the one you want adoring from right now good as any for a holiday, a fulfilling flash is harsh but alright save the tender for your talking, waste me like my dreams I hold tight sullen eyes, I can take you there past the electric tremolo strings you give my heart, golden so proud, real dreamy, saying hope you get what you want, word taking siren glow of a flame sort of dreamy glow to your face a sweet and lovely burn, so I let you take over, let you know my mind going down as stars dull silver like already a memory you saying never seen such exhausted delighted still eyes, barely afraid but bravely assured, let me see your soul in the moonlight’s enthrallment do it your way that means you give me heaven feeling warm though this breeze is as cold as the loneliness before dawn where I like to be and always will be, even now keeping it brave and deliberate felt you near though I was alone met all sorts but they can’t shine you out of my mind’s gallery such music even when I sleep, round my head, waking brings a strong dose of immersed in the blazing and angel energy, that talk is faith that walk is true like ice winds inventive my daring, my deadly find of life, that’s the light you have and the death you give show me, show me what you got I can stay up in distress like a god for that demand my deliberate and brave lethal dose of living sure for you

Fall from Grace
I want to be deliberate with my eyes mouth feet I want someone to see a solid person when they see me and not the uncertain wavering figure that I am.

Deliberate
Sickened he was by her bad word choices, special need for incongruous expressions,words spelled the way she likes, blanks that can never be filled, invented quotes, fabricated realities, thunderous **** repeated in intervals, as if  each an inlaid jewel, and then, having no fixed meaning for that favorite word of hers, nothing more than an intention to denigrate ******                                                                                    and women as a whole, a subconscious compulsion, strangely included, her's also in it's ambit. He understands her compulsion for such expression thus-- fulfillment of some innate need, an expression of her own worthlessness, resulted from some grave injury of the mind that happened, sometime early in her childhood, one could guess. He took the decision to mark her "UNREAD" for ever with deep anguish of course,after reading her many fine and sane pieces.
