Best Week Ever Just had my best week of all time, I'm 42 but still in my prime. Spent some time with Brittany Spears, I left her begging and in tears. After a night with Beyonce, she wanted me to be her fiance. Just one night with Pink, now she can't even blink. Had a date with Katy Perry, she asked me to pop her cherry. Spent some time with J-Lo, she was more sloppy than a joe. Rihanna likes to play rough, **** she looks good in the buff. Me and Fergie ate some black eyed peas, then we were joined by Alicia keys. Had a blast with Taylor Swift, we did it on a ski lift. Avril Lavinge wanted it never to end, now she wants to be her boyfriend. I turned Miley Cyrus back into Hannah Montana, its a secret what we did with a banana. Me and Kesha sang her hit Tik Tok, then she ****** on my clock. Selena Gomez is a witch no more, I turned her into my little ***** Carrie Underwood won't slash my tires, the heat between us started some fires. Gwen Stefani left the singer from Bush, she loved the way I smacked her **** Lady Ga Ga showed me her poker face, with her I reached every base. Me and Lita Ford kissed each other deadly, then she sang me a **** medley. Madonna said I was her best, we spent no time dressed. I was man enough for Sheryl Crow, let me tell you, she can really blow. As the week ended, I had Shakira moving her hips, then I woke up and it was an **** with Gladys Night and her Pips.

I love God, but I know fruits do not increase rapidly. Growth takes decades. God's love tugs at my center to become; a lifelong progressive journey of changing towards glory, light with no shades. The acceptance within grace is often overlooked and belittled in this vague sense of tolerance. Like Sheryl Ralph and Jennifer Lewis said, look into the mirror and speak love over your whole body. You are to love what's challenging to approach within the self. See- observe- with the same soft gaze you give to children and elders.         Celebrate what you can do. Celebrate what you can't. Growth within decades. I love God, and I know fruit does not increase when rushed.

colour me Pink blushes of Rose I think the colour Blue looks nasty on you and Green clashes with your eyes and just makes you look Feral Red bleeds from nails that like to imbed while they score tracks down your back but um I'm not Sheryl... So please refrain from another's name while so deep inside me you can't hide from me and I won't need to find another reason why you are a stranger preying on anger Share the blame and I'll be glad to change my name...

my little bird
When is it enough? How do we get over those people that we once loved? If I were to describe what I wanted in one word what would it be? Do I make a positive impact? Or at least one more positive than negative? Why do I miss him so badly? Is there a god? Or at the very least somebody who will just ******* listen? I have all of these holes and I know now that sometimes they cannot be filled and that I just have to live with them but sometimes they feel so big, like they're eating away at my insides and if I don't put a plug to it then I'll just disappear. It's 4 am and part of me wants to just sleep and part of me is scared that you will be in my dreams and then I'll wake up and you won't be here and I will cry and I am so **** tired of that. It's too early to stay up and watch the sunrise, but god. I do love those colors. My cat wants to sleep with me. At least somebody does. #foreveralone #catlady I heard a Sheryl Crow song that goes "the first cut is the deepest" but I know that for me that's never true. For me, it's the second cut. When I realize that, **** I didn't do enough damage and goddanmit if I'll ever be good enough so let's make it ******* rain. Lets build a hole into my skin, because god knows there aren't enough on my heart. I don't usually cut. I self-harm in other ways. I used to cut to abuse myself, but now it's just loneliness that I feel. I'm so scared of people leaving that I push them away before they get the chance to go. What if I never meet you because I push you away? What if there's nothing after this? And what if my dreams are as good as it gets? Sitting at my computer, writing ****** poetry at 4 in the morning. I just watched 16 episodes of the first season of One Tree Hill. This is me. I am romance on shows and poetry and coffee and too hot but I still use my blanket and I have a stuffed animal that I snuggle with. I am me. And I am ****** up and messed up and wanting for love and lustful tonight and I just want to be hugged and kissed and given a doughnut. I'm going to bed. I love you. I love you. I love you. Don't ever let anyone say that nobody loves you. Because I do. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite, darling.

Summer’s in the rearview mirror, re-experience it at your peril, it’ll only distract you now, and maybe depress you. Summer shifts your orbit, from classrooms and remote zooms, to lollygagging by beaches and snuggling in cozy hotel rooms. As intense and vital as last summer was - as they all are - it’s already blurring in memory. Soon only the memory of sensations will remain, like the warmth of the breeze and the sun on my skin and sigh the warmth of a certain boy’s skin on my skin. Those flashbacks ache, late at night, like phantom limbs. . . Songs for this: All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow

the rear view
(a piece from high school (I’ve been reorganizing)) I am simply at my worst these days. Wild and unpredictable emotions rush on me - it's a place where the layer of control and composure are very thin. This school year has been an endless working, always desperate, collection of days. Each passing week seemed to unmask some flaw in me.. Like peeling a rotten onion. Emotionally, spiritually, I’m drubbed—I droop like a hanged man. It's not the work—I survive (piano) competitions and academic battles as if by some brand of magic.. No, it's more. I have lost my goal. Like biblical engineers raising the tower of Babel on the plain of Sennaar, I am struck by a lack of focus. My direction, my original plans, seem shallow—I stand purposefully gelded. It's worse because I'm somehow so much less who I want to be. Like an asymptotic curve I constantly miss my ideal. I am hunted, internally, by my own inner voice, that ruthless, pittyless, seeker of perfection.. it lurks like the prowling wolf, stalk bent walk.. sifting my every thought, my every action for flaws.. until like the wing weary hunted pray I could almost welcome the killers warmth for sweet silence In a mood somewhere between cowardly and courageous I finally approached my mom.. In a speech from the scaffold, I told her of my black, tight, treacherous spiral.. of my doubts about everything. I expected the worst.. a disappointment, in less than cryptic, ciphered messages, a slow sharpening of her claws on me for endless shortcomings.. Instead, I got miracles.. as if rigid constellations had shifted.. an atmosphere of freedom earned.. and at least for that moment, the mom who used to sing me awake in the mornings as a girl.. and a delicious summer of rest. . . A song for this: Everyday Is A Winding Road by Sheryl Crow Cruel To Be Kind by Letters to Cleo . Oh, and a Christmas playlist because—it’s December!: https://daweb.us/xmas/Christmas_02.mp3

A song for this: Everyday Is A Winding Road by Sheryl Crow Cruel To Be Kind by Letters to Cleo . Oh, and a Christmas playlist because—it’s December!: https://daweb.us/xmas/Christmas_02.mp3

We can't just go on feeling like this A kick, a comment, refused a goodbye kiss That verbal black eye that might have well have been a fist People around you not really giving a **** You'll be OK, just think of the others, they're stuck in a rut Not me, oh no, I need a change of luck So where do I start and what direction to take A new job, a new start, a spruce of my CV with grades that are fake That boss that can have a laugh, taking me on out of good grace A change would do you good once sang Sheryl Crow Start a new path and leave the rest in tow Waking up with a perk instead of feeling so ****** low Coursing that path is an easy thing to write Jumping in-front of that speeding traffic, yes its a big fright But you have to move your story and take that daring bite For this cannot carry on forever as somethings has to be arranged Sail for new seas on a ship and to be blown in a different way As this is what I need, new shores, new goals, something so simple Yes, A change.

A Change
Many miles divide our longing hearts A great distance keeps you from I We must rely on our one common sky To keep our love alive I know somewhere, you lie in wait In a sun that burns with passion deep Under a crescent moon in which wee’ll dream Until we finally get our chance to meet I’ll see you in every star I find In every sunray as they shall peak In he breaths of wind beneath my feet Let’s grasp these moments when we feel weak We share one world, one sky, one love For miles is just a measurable means Turn to the sky darling you will find me there The distance will not be as bad as it seems Pending the moment I can hold you close Aspiring the kiss on your longed for face I will utilize the powers of all my faith Until we both stand in one common place I will meet you under the sky .

Meet You Under The Sky
Sitting alone staring at this blank page, wondering what I could fill it with. Words swirl around in my head as I start to write them down, who will read them since all have gone away. No longer do they call or clamor for attention. Those who meant a lot to me have vanished in the haze, leaving a distant memory behind. Time is a fleeting ship out on the ocean, it sails faster and farther away as I sit here on the shore. Watching and waiting to hear from you. The ones that vanished in the haze, forgotten and abandoned. Oh wait, that's me. Sheryl Lynn Ratliff

Fleeting

DA ****   what's the ******* point of a son of god... drinking wine?! i swear the posit for an argument came from, apple... i'm not seeing anything close to apples in the... what do you call it... the... new... testament? i'm not buying it! cider, *****               forbidden fruit my *** wine is grape,      apples? hm.m... cider...              no... this is the point where you agree with me... poetry is.... dead.. and god? has just become revived. basic ******** just doesn't pass the sieve... no... wine, cider, grape contra apple tree... too many metaphors... some ******** will simply not stick or rather, be kept, intact.
