a scribe without a story
a ship without a sea
a love without a lover
an "us" without a "me"

i now love
you
the way you loved
me
when i loved
you
so stop asking
me
if i love
you
in the same way
you love
me
now
it's not exactly
the same
anymore
He had his chance/s and he blew it. When I wanted him he had eyes for others and when I gave up on him he came scurrying- a day late and a dollar short. I've moved on but he still annoyingly persists. Some people don't understand Integrity or boundaries.

shallow people
seemingly unaware
reviled most
by themselves
deceitful reflectors
loathsome lonesome
interlocutors
lurking
in their own
shadows
devouring affection
utterly incapable
of reciprocity
Every now and then I bump into this type who charm the pants off me - well not quite! - and I have to ask myself to slow the f down Timmy! These are the "shape shifters" who seem to have an uncanny ability to find my tender spots and tap them to their own advantage- if only for the sake of stoking their ego or whatever bizarre agenda they might have. I don't try to figure them out - but time exposes them if they are genuine or not.

anger unabated
as sinful "humanity"
sows
karmic seeds
of self destruction
the future
visceral
in the present
Man - a glorified chimp on steroids after 200,000 years of evolution is none the wiser than his simian cousin on the plains of Africa. Yes we can build rockets with the 1% genetic delta but we can also blow up all life on earth.

why couldn't
you see
what i saw
in you...
the eyes of
fidelity
or perhaps
i was choosing
to see what
i wanted
- nay -
needed
and you were
but a reflection
casting a
wayward
glance
Sometimes we dive into relationships more out of needs and wants. This was the case of my last tryst. He and I both came wanting something rather than wanting to share something of ourselves- big diff! Turns out we both fell flat on our cute *****! :D

No one seems to care
Ambulance for our neighbor
We are ill - at ease
I live in an apartment complex close to campus. An ambulance had arrived but beyond the curious gawkers no one gave a **** about the person or his next of kin. Have we really become such disconnected shells obsessed with "selfie" image? Social Media is NOT community!

Choose your memories
Bestill your thoughts
Quiet your mind
From thoughtless thoughts
Been reading up on a great 20th century Indo American philosopher J Krishnamurthy from just down the road in Ojai California. Brilliant mind and simple man who was touching on neuro-biology and habit pattern formation as a theoretical construct in the 50's-70's before fMRI's could decipher this stuff! Check him out on YouTube - to my friends from India ... you have a hidden treasure!
