Premium Member Adieu - Part 2
The tears flowed and I still smiled,
My body and spirit and mind,
Were still in that state of residual bliss,
Soaking in your sweet smile,
And savoring the moonlit skin before me,
But my soul was being torn asunder,
And...

The Butterfly, Part I
One warm Summer’s day
As I sat in my folding chair
Something caught my eyey
Something there

Premium Member Weapons Down Anger
Anger
is such a useful learning silence tool,
when not too short-term
ballistically reactive,
weaponized.

unmeditated
by forgiving lack of ego-supremacist
humility

By explicit co-invested intentions
of...

comes metamorphosis-
Led mushrooming depth of...
