Janus

Looking forward
Looking back
The last day of the year.

Looking forward
Looking back
Janus are you here?

Looking forward
Looking back
Time to make new plans.

Looking forward
Looking back
It's all in your hands.

Looking forward
Looking back
Time to start anew.

Looking forward
Looking back
A better year is up to you.

Baby New Year

Spirit of fertility
Symbol of rebirth
Lovely Pagan ritual
celebrated all over Earth.

 A tiny little baby in basket
back in the day.
Depicted  Dionysus God of Wine.

A Baby reborn
life starts anew
A brand new year is welcomed here.

Over the centuries
the basket disappeared
Over the centuries the meaning's not as clear

Little diapered baby running round til he gets old
then a little old man is there for us to behold
A new year reborn
Bells, whistles and horns
Welcome baby New Year
We're oh so glad you're here.

After the Holiday

Presents are opened.
Dishes are dirty.
All of the house guests left in a flurry.

No more carols to sing;
No more silver bells ring;
All the winter land walking has come to an end.

Now we think of tomorrow
as the new year approaches.
Now we think of tomorrow
and the promises it broaches.

How do we make next year better
for ourselves and for others?
What tomorrow brings,
We have yet to discover.

Resolutions and goals
our prosperity unfolds.
Can't wait to discover
what the new year will hold.

Even though it's a holiday

Even if you ask all the right questions 

and do all the right things 

you still get blindsided by 

other people's selfishness and stupidity.

Have Faith

Trust

Be kind

Be understanding

Get screwed and not in a fun way

Even though it's a holiday

adversity still comes your way

Have Faith

Trust

Be kind 

Be understanding

I'm rebuilding the walls I once took away

Even though it's a holiday

adversity still comes your way

Have Faith

Trust

Be kind 

Be understanding

good friends help take the pain away

Boxing Day

No it's not a prize fight match

There is no ref no belt no cash

There's Good King Wenceslas

and the feast of Stephen.

It's a holiday for those in service

A holiday that's well deserved

A chance for those who have a lot

To share with others what they've got.

A holiday for those in need

A holiday that's filled with glee

A holiday with a funny name

for boxing is just a silly game

But it's a holiday all the same.

Christmas Eve

Cinnamon and spice
Chocolate and peanut butter
Flavors both spicy and sweet
Gathering around the table to eat


Meaningful memories
Both old and new
Laughing and joking
A gathering of friends
Don't want this feeling to end


Hearts flutter
Voices mutter
Final anticipation begins


Happy wide bright eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
Scraps of colored paper
Decorate the floor

Laughter and love
Warm hugs
And late night goodbyes
Who could ask for more

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Pere, Papa, Papai, or Baba Noel

Tall and Thin

Julemanden, Jultomten or Julenissen

Short and Fat

Kanakaloka

Beard of White

Weihnactsmann

Boots of Black

Babbo Natale

Jolly Laugh

Ded Moroz

Rosy Cheeks

Mos Craciun

Children of all ages seek

Gaghant Baba

To spy him on his sleigh

Father Christmas or Kris Kringle

Call him what you may

Santa Claus

He's always welcome on Christmas Day.

Cookies, Candies, Kitchens too

I need a Snickerdoodle intervention
Or maybe I should stay out of the kitchen
Eggs, Cinnamon and Butter
It couldn't hurt to have another.

To smell of peanut butter is a holiday tradition
Unwrapping kisses & melting chocolate my mouth itchin'
With anticipation for something creamy, chocolaty and sweet
Peanut Blossoms and Buckeyes are they ready to eat?

Christmas cookies and candies
Holiday life is quite dandy
Although my waistline might not agree
My taste buds are extremely happy.

The Christmas Poem

I've never dreamed of a White Christmas.
I'm not fond of a Winter Wonderland.
If all my Christmases were white,
Both my troubles and myself would be out of sight.

I'd rather have ham than turkey.
Roasted chestnuts are not my cup of tea.
As for Jack Frost, he'd better not be nipping at me.

Christmas cards I love to write.
Stars will shine so very bright.
May your days be Merry and Bright
The thought fills me with delight.

Yuletide Carols are cool
And tiny tots on vacation from school
Listening late at night for sleigh bells
Hearing  all the old family tales.

Santa bringing goodies for
US good boys and girls
Friendship and happiness
felt across the world.

Say it once and then again
Many times and many ways
Merry Christmas is a time of Love
We should all praise.

Seeds of Love

Oh ho the Mistletoe
Kiss me there and I will know
the seeds of love hung up on string
holds delights to make my heart sing.

Twelfth Day Daze

Eleven pipers piping up a storm

And Twelve drummers drumming is not the norm

For a true love to give to someone dear

 So yes, I got the message loud and clear

Although you tried to kill my ears

In short my true love gave to me:

Twelve Drummers drumming which was just quite mean.

Eleven Pipers piping that was not a dream.

Ten Lords a leaping who liked to eat,

Nine Prima donnas on their feet,

Eight Maids a milking up at dawn,

A group of several swimming swans,

Six geese a laying here and there,

The quite unexpected Five Gold Rings,

Four Calling birds which left me without words,

Birds again with Three French hens,

Two Turtle Doves instead of gloves,

And the gift of which I had never heard

A partridge in a pear tree, ever so absurd.

You could have told me on your own

 As my darling we’re both very grown

Had you said, “I want to be alone.”

I would have left you on your own

 These last 12 days have been quite crazed

In several certainly, sarcastic ways

 Good bye my true love Good luck to you

For in future I am warning you

You’re going to find someone who

Gives gifts as generously as you do!

Milking, Dancing and Leaping Now

I figured if I closed the door
This wouldn't happen anymore
To give me gifts that I abhor
I'm not the one that you adore.

It's happened time and time again
I fear we're now upon day ten.
So many people surrounding me
My life's become a comedy.

Eight maids a milking as many cows,
There's the Nine ladies dancing now.
And if you were wondering where's the men
Lords a Leaping I've got ten.

Prima donnas on their feet
Lords a leaping like to eat
Maids a milking up at dawn
My true love this just can't go on!

13 Fouls

I thought your gift giving was through
I distinctly remember telling you
Feathered friends would not do
If my true love was truly you.

After five gold rings
I believed you were a king
showing me the finer things
that life has to bring

I did not know that up your sleeve
You continued to deceive.
Day six I slept upon my bed
dreaming of the day ahead
A smile of the day before
Within my sleeping state I wore

Who knew that I would soon awake
to find my place in such a terrible state
Six geese a laying here and there
Eggs and feathers everywhere

A bad dream it seemed to me
As I knew this could not be
I'm certain that we discussed this
My attitude towards feathered friends you could not miss
Back to bed  I went find some please
Hoping to wake and this would not exist.

Day Seven arrived to me at dawn
A group of several swimming swans
Now 13 fowls I find have I
Such a terrible sight I do spy
Eggs and feathers flying free
Wet birds all honking noisily

My true love how could this be
I thought this was over but now I see
Your gift giving mission his finally clear
It's all designed to bring me tears!

As Good as Gold

On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Five Gold Rings
Four calling birds
Three French Hens
Two Turtledoves
and a Partridge in a Pear tree.

I am in shock
I am in awe
I am in love with you
My love you are quite true

I will even forgive you
for continuing to bring
all those birds that sing
and other silly things

I never expected
Five Gold Rings
I never expected anything
The fine feathered menagerie
Made me believe you didn't care for me
Now I realize your creativity
An elaborate distraction's what this had to be

Why else would my true love give to me
all those creatures consistently
The game is over
Your plan succeeds
You are my true love
Yes indeed
No other tokens do I need

The silliness of feathered gifts
The plan to get me nice and miffed
All that you did
And now it's done
This game my love has been quite fun
As for other gifts
I don't need one
You've done more than enough and then some

Constant Calling

On the fourth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
Four Calling birds, Three French Hens
Two Turtledoves and a
Partridge in a Pear Tree.

I forgave you once
I forgave you twice
It was my mistake to
forgive you thrice

I woke up to the morning rain
It's cold and wet and I must complain
Not just about the rain that falls
but about these birds and constant calls

Why oh Why do you torment me?
A silly bird up in a tree
Turtle doves and strange French Hens
Now birds that call over and over again.

FEATHERS FLY
is what said I
now my love I just might cry

No more BIRDS
That's it I quit
Tomorrow dear
please Get with it!!!!

Trois Poules Françaises

On the third day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Three French hens, Two Turtle Doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree.

Birds again?
What is with men;
The same gifts over and over again.

I've mentioned before
but I'll say it once more:
No need for the partridge up in a tree,
No need for turtledoves following me
Nor is there a need for Poules Francaises
today tomorrow or yesterday.

My true love charming you may be
But at gift giving let's face reality.
A personal shopper's not destined for thee.

Please listen and hear
Any more birds and I fear
the feathers will fly
between you and I!

Turtle Doves from my Love

On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two turtle Doves and
A Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Another tree oh deary me
My true love you can't possibly be
We discussed at length
The insanity of
Partridges up in a tree.

And now my love
You give me Two Turtle Doves?
How about a pair of gloves?

Stop sending me gifts
from the skies above.
Try to remember dear
You're my true love
And just say NO to Two Turtle Doves!

Partridges and Pear Trees

On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

Now I don't know about you
but this is something
my true love just wouldn't do.

A bird is grand
but I don't understand
this partridge in a tree.

A Parakeet that goes tweet tweet
A Conjure  with some seeds to eat
A Parrot mimicking all you do
a Cockatiel to play with you

All fine gifts if you like birds.
This pear tree and partridge is just absurd.
My true love please don't give to me
A TV bird within a tree.

Christmas Collage

There's Silver Bells and Christmas trees
We deck the halls and Santa sees.
Rudolph's nose will light the way
to a manger but not  an inn.

There's Jingle Bells and dashing sleighs
A shining star to light the way
for three wandering kings.

Lords and maids and five gold rings;
Snowmen and a holy night
All these lines from songs we sing
Make our spirits feel quite right.

Your days may be sunny and bright
and in some cases they may even be white.
It's the best time of the year
So have a Holly, Jolly Christmas
And a delicious cup of cheer!

CHRISTMAS PEACE

Why is it that it takes a holiday

For people to come close together?

And why is it that there’s no other way

For us to show love for one another?

We should let the whole world know

That we all are one with each other;

And no matter what the world does now

We should change.

The world it should live in sweet harmony

And we should all give of ourselves;

And peace on earth, good will towards men

Should rule from this lifetime till the end.

Well we should let the Christmas Peace

Ring through the world each and every day

So we can all know we’re not alone. 

And if we let the Christmas peace

Ring through the world each and everyday

Then we could all feel that we’re at home. 

And the world could be a better place

For the entire human race

IF the Christmas Peace could just live on.

Life Experience to Go

Experience a life

Especially for you.

Remember you are special.

Make every day a celebration.

Keep in touch

with friends, family

fantasy and reality.

Be thankful for the clouds the stars

the wind, the rain,

The moments of joy and 

the bits of pain.

Remember,

We are all mad here. 

Believe in yourself.

An Invitation

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
You held me tight
I couldn't let go

A kiss, a hug, a fond embrace
Returned me to a different time and place

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
Thoughts for a moment
of how once was our time spent

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
Dinner, a walk,
a laugh and a talk

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
I kissed your cheek and said You're right
I held you close You held me tight

We both knew it was the end of the night.

Nothing

Nothing to say

I have no voice.

Nothing to say

but not by choice.

Nothing to say

how very strange.

Nothing to say

hope this will change.

Nothing to say

it's something new.

Nothing to say

What shall I do?

Bodies Entangled On The Floor

Bodies entangled on the floor

feel the pressure nothing more

Discussions of what could be

Feeling pressure incessantly

Bodies entangled on the floor.

How did we meet?

How long has it been?

Conversations for old friends.

Kisses exchanged.

Parts rearranged.

Our returning feelings never seem strange.

I let my question go unasked

The answer I think is better off masked.

Don't really need to know,

Thought that I wanted to though;

Still the question I let go.

Just enjoying this moment in time

Surrounded by arms that will never be mine.

Bodies entangled on the floor

filled with passion but nothing more.

After the Feast

Why does my belly hurt?

Oh yeah, the decadent dessert;

Or was it all the meat and mashed potatoes?

Heaven knows it couldn't have been the tomatoes,

stuffing or the gravy, No that couldn't be.

Candied yams and bits of ham glazed ever so sweetly?

Possibly.

Why does my belly ache?

Could it have been all the cake?

Curse this appetite I tried to sate

The taste testing because I couldn't wait.

Must have been All the food I ate 

in generous portions piled on my plate;

That I just ate and ate and ate.

Eyes bigger than my tummy

I couldn't help myself

It was all so yummy

Didn't eat it all as I'm no dummy

There's some left overs upon my shelf

Another delicious treat just for myself.

This time I will not pile the food upon my plate,

This time smaller portions I will take;

Because the end of the holiday is here

Over eating and a belly ache 

well they will just have to wait

Until the same time next year.

Give Thanks

Give Thanks

That's what the Pilgrims and Natives did

but not the myth

 that we all live.

Give Thanks

For Life and liberty,

for  love and laughter,

for triumph through disaster.

Give Thanks

Don't just think materially

think kindness and generosity

think friends and family.

Give Thanks

Buddha or Allah, Mother Earth or Brother Wind

 Krishna or Isis too

Pick all, one or any God or not it's up to you

Give Thanks

Everyday not just on Thanksgiving 

Thankful is the way 

We all should be living.

Anticipating

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Savoring the moment

when all my time's spent

consuming delicious stuff.

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Sweet and delicious

It's barely nutritious

What to eat first the decision is rough.

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Passion's Plaything

Passion's plaything

must not be you

If you scare me

and I scare you.

What's a confident girl to do

Who needs aggressive

and that's not you?

Our mutual attraction's

Overdue

for an intimate

Rendezvous.

But if you scare me,

and I scare you

One on one won't happen

From us two.

You, Me and Jumping with Glee

You had me and you set me free

So excuse me If I don't jump with glee

When you tell me that you miss me.

You traveled the skies to reach me.

Told me my smile set you free.

You hoped that one day we could be

Sailing together across the sea.

Over the miles our relationship grew.

My hopes, heart and dreams I stored in you.

As months passed you asked what I wanted to do.

After my answer, I felt you withdrew.

Our original passion we couldn't renew.

When you said you were leaving I already knew.

It's year's later you're talking to me.

I ask myself, "How could this be?"

You see, you had me

and you set me free.

So excuse me

If I don't jump for glee

When you tell me that you miss me.

Chaotic Experiences

My life is a

never ending series 

of chaotic experiences.

One moment 

I have a general discontent

about everything.

The next

I'm a lover of life and beauty

anxiously awaiting to

create art and sing like no one's listening.

What joy a

never ending series

of chaotic experiences

can bring.

Lost Boys

I cannot bear to watch you fall

and yet I cannot stop you.

The safety net I represent

I've now begun to strongly resent.

Wendy has left the lost boys.

Unmentioned

You didn't listen to what I had to say.

Told me I didn't need to ever think that way.

Called me a little girl and told me to go play.

All I could do was shake my head and walk away.

Can't help smiling as it all turned out this way.

Not gonna mention that you thought I was insane.

Not gonna mention how many times you called my name.

Not gonna mention every time you scream in vain.

That I told you so.

Words

You tell me the truth 

in so many lies.

My heart finds it hard

to just disguise

The feelings you stir inside.

I See You

You don't see me,

see you, see her.

You don't see me,

see you, see him.

You don't see me

but I see you.

Oh what you do

When you don't know

Someone sees you

and the whole show.

You don't see me

and I don't see you;

You seeing me

Seeing someone too.

11/11/11

Eleven, Eleven Eleven

Some say

It's the start of heaven.

Some say

It's the end of days.

Some say

It's as lucky as seven.

Some say 

It's a day of praise.

And some

Just say

Happy Nigel Tufnel  Day!

Come and Go

My Depression Moods

Are things that come and go

like laughing.

Laugh more

Cry less.

When you cry

Make it your best

When you're through

Consider this

These things I know

Come and go

like laughter.

Magic and Misery

live forever.

Sooner or Later

Dreams may be wishes

deep down in your heart

But do they really come true?

I believe they do.

Sooner or Later

but not today,

In some tomorrow

Not far away.

Dreams will be

Reality,

Sooner or Later

For me.

Wish upon 

a shooting star;

All you desire

is not where you are,

Well...

Sooner or Later

but not today,

In some tomorrow

Not far away.

Wishes come true

for me

and for 

You.

Shooting Star 

or 

Wishing Well

Dream a Dream

And it sets sail

In some tomorrow;

Closer than you think,

Dreams come true

In a single blink.

The Dark Side of Hope

The Dark side of hope

It's name is disappointment.

The feeling which overcomes you

When hopes been promised

And does not follow through.

Full Moon (2-6-96)

Tonight there's a full moon

An absolutely magnificent full moon

that glows in the midst of ebony tendrils.

It's huge. 

A triumphant wheel

embraced in onyx nails.

Rain Rain Go Away

Rain Rain Go Away
A Children's Chant
A game they play

Rain Rain Go Away
It may be Childish
But I'll play

Rain Rain Go AWAY
Children know
just what to say.

Wish

I wish I didn't have to go out today
That everyone would stay away
I'm warm inside my cozy room
The music's low
the night's in bloom
My heart's desires lay
just outside my door
But I'm content to stay
inside here on the floor.

Require

The world is 

a strange and wondrous place

filled with lots of desires.

And all I require

Is my own space

To pass the time

how I desire.

Dia de los Muertos

Passed away
No longer with us
Gone to a better place

No matter what
We use instead
The meaning it cannot replace


Passed away
No longer with us
Gone to a better place

Today's the day to
remember those who've
passed into this state

Passed away

No longer with us
Gone to a better place

Remember lives of those we've loved
Who cared for us as best they could

Remember lives of those to young
To have left us in the first place

Remember lives not just today
but always for you see

The memory is the
life legacy.

Firenze Train (9/98)

Stalks standing stagnant 

in sun dried sand.

Silently stating

"So I stand."

Until time to replenish

Until time to begin

Stalks standing, standing still.

Dried husks devour dirt and

dust along the tracks.

Foreigners see yet

never look back.

Remembering only

The fields of joy

Not the sadness

Of stilted deploy.

Awaiting the new year

With laughter aplenty

Joyous revival 

Suns solace delight

Stalks standing

Sway subtly

with life.

Thinking Thoughts

Sitting,

Thinking thoughts out loud.

Talking to myself is how

I process daily life.

Recalling actions of the day

insecure questions

out loud I say:

Why am I doing this?

You just are.

Why have I never done this before?

You weren't ready.

Am I ready now?

Yes.

How do I know?

You just do.

What am I ready for?

Wait and see.

Sitting,

Thinking thoughts out loud.

Internal answers

make me proud.

Processing thoughts 

on daily life

as time goes by.

Questions

Where am I going?

What am I doing?

What awaits me there?

I don't know the answer

but if I did,

I'm sure I would be scared.

Complicated Connection

Fantasy and Reality are not

mutually exclusive identities

of what you see or perceive to be

but conditions based upon

the simple duality

of our complicated connection

to what has to be.

Feeding Frenzy (7/24/02)

The man in the shades

sifting seeds to those who wait

watches as they alight around him

in frantic flight.

Will he bring us more delight?

We will follow where he leads

for he has the magic seeds.

Power play to lead them on

Knowing their appetites are strong.

Feels like a king

but this he knows

It's only because of the seeds he sows.

Open to the Possibilities

I've been told

I'm too nice.

I'm not real

I'm too strong

I'm too old

I'm too young

I've been told
I'm intimidating
I'm too smart

I thought you'd be seeing someone,

I'm too independent

If you were a girl...

Am I so much a mother figure,

teacher, sister, friend,buddy

That my femininity has disappeared completely?

Open to the possibilities

but often I find they don't seem open to me

Love is out there

Waiting patiently

Discovering it's a

painful, wonderful journey 

Here I go again

exploring

hoping to make a marvelous discovery

I cannot listen to 

what I've been told

Open to the possibilities

Love will see me.

Just One of Many

Much like Greta Garbo

You want to be Alone

You claim that you are happy

being on your own.

To be in love makes you uneasy

Physical fun's your priority.

Just one of many

is what you want from me.

Just one of many

so you can remain free.

Just one of many 

is what you want from me.

You've planned your life with the design

that in your heart no one is mine.

You mention often

I'm just one of many

You mention often no one is 

special to you.

You mention often

I'm just one of many.

One of many seems better

than just one of two.

Somehow your heart's been awakened

by a one of many brand  new.

Love has found You

Congratulations,

I'm happy for you;

But First Runner Up's not

what I wanted  to do.

Often you've mentioned

I'm just one of many.

Of women in this life

you have had plenty.

Often you've mentioned 

I'm just one of many

One of many it somehow

seems better it's true

than to discover that

I'm now just one of two.

You say you're not ready to just set me free.

You're falling for her but you're happy with me.

A couple is two it can never be three.

One of many you told me and 

that I could be.

One of many in this case

seems better to me.

I was here first  and

second place out of two

Is something I'm just

not willing to do.

Often you mentioned

I'm just one of many.

Plans for our future 

I didn't have any.

Lovers embracing all we could do.

This situation 

 I could pursue.

But somehow my darling 

one of two

just won't do.

One of many's much better

Than to be second place

in a situation where

I'm just one out of two.

Broken Bubble

A sound proof bubble of music and art.

A state of limbo for a broken heart.

You play guitar. We stare at stars.

The world for the moment is ours.

Routine visits form a slight bond.

Live in the moment don't envision beyond.

I mend my heart as you create arts

The world for the moment departs.

Outside reality begins to seep in.

Attachments are formed more than a friend.

The Bubble is broken. No words are spoken.

This world's final moments beckon.

Unconditional Utopia

Although I held you in my arms

My senses filled with all your charms

Although I held you in my arms

You were miles and miles away.

You whispered plans of things to come

Romantic nights and the rising sun

You whispered plans of things to come

Your broken promises made me numb

Unconditionally

That's how you think of me

Unconditionally

It doesn't say you love me

Unconditional

Is your Utopia

Unconditional

What are you hoping for?

Is unconditional just your way

of telling me that it's okay

For you to plan for brighter days

When you are never sure you'll stay.

Although I held you in my arms

You were still beyond my reach

You constantly reminded me

You were not mine to keep

Although I held you in my arms

My senses filled with all your charms

You constantly reminded me

You'd miles to go before you sleep.

Unconditionally

That's how you think of me

Unconditionally

It doesn't say you love me

Unconditional

Is your Utopia

Unconditional

What are you hoping for?

Thanks to You

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the awkwardness of wondering what to say.

Thanks to You

I'd forgotten the loneliness at the end of the day.

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the look of disappointment.

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten questions like "How is your time spent?".

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten broken promises of calls to come.

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the monotony of "Where are you from?".

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the silliness of "How's my hair?".

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the wondering of what to wear.

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the strangeness of someone new.

Thanks to you

I'd forgotten the anxiety of "What will we do?".

And now, Unfortunately 

Thanks to you

I am remembering again what once was forgotten

And it is all

Thanks to you.

A Thought

She wrote the words,

"The world was wrong."

She sang the notes 

of nature's song.

All at once

a thought occurred 

"We belong,

It's not absurd."

Tomorrow

You may want to think of tomorrow

 and the promises it brings.

You may want to think of tomorrow 

and a million other things.

You may want to think of tomorrow 

and all the passion it may hold,

fields of dreams and stores of gold

But tomorrow's still unclear

Today is all that's here.

Life Despite Fear

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That keeps me in the game.

Why strive for more

if there's nothing

to get your feet on the floor?

Why reach higher

if there's nothing

to motivate your desire?

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That makes me master every challenge.

Why run faster 

if there's nothing

to make you move past disaster?

Why work harder

if there's nothing

to generate your going farther?

Many people say live a life without fear

But without fear,

How do we master each challenge?

How do we face new horizons?

How do we inspire?

How do we succeed? 

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That keeps us ahead of the game.

I live life despite fear.

Can you say the same?

ROOTS AND WINGS

I thought that wings would help me fly

Would help me sail the world

But all they did was teach me how to fall

Was teach me to walk and stay on earth.

I need roots with wild streaks to keep me in line.

I can’t keep up with winged streaks

I just keep falling behind.

I cannot fly before I walk.

I cannot walk without a thought

To that which I’m walking on.

In time my roots will let me grow wings.

In time I can do anything.

Ongoing Decisions V

Forced to make decisions again and again

When will this come to an end?

Time's not on my side.

Reality's rude.

This time life,please,

 have something positive ensue.

Ongoing Decisions IV

Still looking for something I once thought I'd find.

Something keeps making my heart hit the ground.

It isn't so easy how do I seek out again,

This something so elusive I can't comprehend.

Ongoing Decisions III

Too many questions;

Too many doubts,

Decisions I'd rather live without.

What do I do?

Inner self I ask you.

Tell me what do I do.

Ongoing Decisions II

Hiding out has come to an end.

Seeds of doubt are not my friend.

Constantly yearning,

This emotion is burning,

What does this path intend?

Ongoing Decisions I

Forced to make decisions again

Time's not on my side.

Life intrudes.

Reality's rude.

Another moment has died.

Thinking Queen

Alone with myself

Thinking many thoughts of you

Memories don’t fade.

Ask who you might be

The response I am the Queen.

How could you not know?

Intimidating Lady

Intimidating
You seem to see me this way

Your viewpoint is skewed.

Notice who I am

Intimidating’s not me

See the one who’s here.

I am a lady. 

A gentleman’s still a man.

Roles should be observed.

Pondering Situations

Pondering it all

Forced to make choices in life

How do I decide?

Situations change

I’m starting over again.

What do I do now?

Situations change

Why can’t they remain the same?

Here we go again.
