All That ‘I AM’ - Revisited

THE STRANGER MAN (2)

They who posses tire
out and loose more
in keeping.
As homeowner never
have I felt at home
But closer home as
squatter and
settler.
The crop man crops
his way through
life,
The dry cleaner
cannot subdue the
muck;
The well heeled
can’t afford inner
balm with...

I would just like to say
that it is my impression
that longer hair
and other flamboyant affectations
are male dominant immersions
from sadly dull camouflage
into the birthright
and left
of his trans-pangenderal sex.

And I would also like to say
that it is...

Touch, translucent, delicate, and sparse, 
awareness fleeting and fragile
Treasure of treasures Lo and Mark, 
seeker born quick and agile
Peripheral only, inward glancing, 
laughter at clumsy gestures of life
a silhouette dancing around, and beyond,

Do you like me for my form
And my cosmetic moments
With their conceits and affectations,
Bejewelled with glittering gewgaws,
Hinting at the scents of summer,
All show but no substance,
Holding back the acrid stench of death?
For you ,my beauty...

I'll write of things lamentable like poor shipwrecked loves,
Tempest-tossed by bestial winds behind unfeeling storms;
Ripped apart by the furious middles of swift-gusting winds,
Voyaging to dream-born shores away from boring homes. 

I'll tell of the Fate-shattered...

Goldie, my peculiar but beloved cat,
has certain affectations --
she prefers, most times, her own society
and shuns her housemates.
But, sometimes, she cuddles
or will join the others
to laze around -- in the living room,
the dining room, a...

Anatomically speaking 
I would rather not let you see my brain,
yet you can imagine it the same way I imagine yours.

Poetics abound, but let’s not fall into that mind trap,
comparisons in the dark will teach...

Offerings all-inclusively controlled,

  consummating thirst's affectations

   eliciting truth's darkly responsive swallow

Difficult conversations
By Michelle Morris
23/11/2022

We often avoid
Difficult conversations
We convince ourselves
It's easier
To go with the flow

But, try as we might
Our bodies betray us
We subconsciously communicate
Through our movements
And our affectations

And if we don't honour
Our truth and our needs
We...

Our Love Wasn't A Mistake
It Wasn't Adventitious
Our Love Was Meant To Be
Though It Does Seem Fictitious

I Love You For Many Reasons
One's That You're Sincere
You Have No Affectations
That's Why I'm Still Here

I Was Agaped When I...

So I’m not looking good, you say 
From where you are sat
Well, let me tell you, sonny Jim
You’re not all that
I haven’t quite lived up to your
Lofty aspirations
A bit too old, a bit too poor

SUBJECTION

line

abstracted

she stood up ...
reached across the table to
pinch his cheek -
two small red spots grew where
she had crimped his
dark-whiskered flesh ...
"Now they match ... scoundrel!"
for there flamed two more crimson
marks on the opposite side

They collided
it was fate, destiny, it was rather awkward.
Brief introductions by a third party
led to instant dislike.
It was kismet. It was painful.
She disliked his manner,
he loathed her phony affectations.
From the very start
they kept miles apart.

"The Emancipated"



See all the pretty words
perched on a tongue
like singing birds

Anagnorisis from 
the Poetic Aristotle
effecting affectations 

from the fangs 
a cutting
100th monkey

Sting the truth 
like a bee sipping nectar
kissing blooming minds

masked in soliloquay
lines of perdition...

Oh how I saw a dreadful thing today!
You wretched thing, your grievous wretched act,

Unkindly you have broke our solemn pact
To never leave each other in our...

I yearn for ecstasy
A feeling profound
that makes my heart
Beat fast, too fast.
I look around the plain
so full of orange-colored leaves.
At the same time, above flying around
I hear the melodious twittering
Of warblers and colored chaffinches,
Whilst above...

Entertaining impossibilities
As if you could be replaced
Holding onto probability
And epiphanies not yet faced
A parade of local distractions
Numb revolving door romance
Affectations of attractions 
Hiding the invisible dance
Between the shadow and I
Never felt something more
So much more...
