Premium Member Choosing Sides

Even as a child of God -
when it came right down to it
she stood firmly on her child’s side -
not God’s 

.. and damn
how I envied that..

my friend
much to my dismay
chose a parent
as a closest confidant
breaking all laws of teenage angst
and going against
all preconceived
conceptions, norms and nature

I watched as they walked
a harrowed path together
mom being there for child —
smugly snuggly hammocked 
in her emotional safety net

.. and damn
how I envied that..


I walked my path alone
because my mother
would have chosen 
God’s side...

.. and damn
how I now envy that..

Inklings of Spring

Winter finally moves his lumpen sluggish weight,

Spring is like a shy dryad shivering in his arms

Wind's whippets droop to trifling whine

Sullen rain hisses to a grizzle.

tiny fruit buds swell enough to moisten lips.

First daffodil maidens preen, bright faces so fair!

Chattering swallows check granite grey mortared mansion.

Duck naps snug, beak a chest --- gull floats overhead.

Longer days mean I must leave my snuggly, sleepy daze,

slightly more light; work energies reappear

poetry is laid aside in favour of trimming trees

seething solar heating sound, signals dimly smiling sun.

seed packets eagerly spread out – What to plant this season?

Suddenly, more bees aflight – our crops will be alright!

Another cycle begins!

Premium Member The Wary Cat and the Hungry Dog

The cat eyed the dog, warily
   The dog licked his lips, hungrily
The cat backed away, tremulously
   The dog edged forward, intimidatingly

The cat retreated faster, alarmedly
   The dog zeroed in on her, aggressively
The cat let out a screech, panic-strickenly
   The dog leaped for her throat, murderously

Let's pause this video clip, momentarily
   And ask a couple questions, inquisitively
Why did the dog want to kill the cat, instinctively
   And why didn't the cat beat a hastier retreat, curiously...

       (Please click to restart the clip)

The dog paused in mid-air, hesitatingly
   The cat sighed a little sigh, relievedly
The dog smiled a faint smile, sheepishly
   The cat me-owed once, tentatively

The dog's smiled widened, perceptibly
   The cat shed a tear, joyously
The dog hugged the cat, lovingly
   The cat basked in his embrace, snuggly

Sensory

The human-felt sensations, in no particular order.
Through touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. But also pain and occasional misbehavior 

Gentle, hard, rough, loud, hot
Brittle, bruising - feel or not?
Bitter, harsh, moist, sober, bombed
Bubbly, juicy, smooth and stoned

Pressure, burning, shake and sting
Wetness, freshness rains bring
Ache and pain, vibration, shock
Trembling, loud, aftershock

Balmy, biting, piercing, high
Fresh and fishy, airy sky
Humid, hurtful, salty, light
Floral, noisy, quiet, bright

Bumpy, scratchy, scalding, tight
Firm and foul, dull, delight
Aromatic, faint, lush
Distant, medicinal, brush

Deep, dark, damp, dry, dusky, tart
Soft or hard, stiff - a la cart
Faint, firm, inflamed, wet
Booming, burning, scalding, sweat

Noxious, thirsty, yummy, stale
Squeaky, spicy, windy gale
Faint, crispy, foul, sweet
Sunny, frosty, cold or heat

Shiny, tasty, silent, warm
Wasted, tipsy, smashed - the norm
Shapely, snuggly, calm or tense
Hairy, ticklish, pleasant hence

Zesty, solid, oral, close
Tender, penetrative dose
Solid, sour, spongy, sting
Rhythmic, soaring, weightless swing

We, the humans, feel and sense
List of words are my two cents
Paint a portrait, doodle, skit
And the image is complete

Understanding Cat Behaviors

Soft, affectionate, confident, fluffy,
curious, snuggly, cuddly, loving,
independent, intelligent, friendly and playful

Cautious, sneaky, creepy, mean,
attacker, mysterious, moody, evil, 
mischievous, vicious, aggressive, and hateful 

Spiritual, adventurous, explorer, and survivor by nature;
walkers, they enjoy walks too..
Depending on the energetic environment that 
the cat is brought into; you will exhibit light/dark,
good/bad, or positive/negative behaviors..
Most wanna be cat owners are spiritually toxic unknowingly 
blame the cat for refusal of forced energetic incompatibility
they are supernatural, so they see what most can't see..


I understand the duality labels by cat owners/companions
most don't understand cats are outdoor animals through 
ancestral lineage, they were bred for various domestic reasons..
A home can be like a large cage with free range without access 
to fresh air, natural light, hunting stimulation, trees or grass.. 
Know you can't extract the wild nature by cat proofing your home
they need natural outdoor habitants indoors for stimuli of well being 
to be healthy, cute, obedient, calm domesticated pets.

She Was Free, At Last

~
The stones were many, 
though still he climbed, 
dismantling the mortar crusted wall,
leaving rubble in his wake
as he made his way to the top
Breathless, this world beyond 
the border clung to its silence, 
imprisoned by apprehension tightly 
binding a heart fearful of opening,
like a clay jar of secrets,
brittle but sealed tightly
in the deepest cavern
of temptation

locks fastened as he
descended the other side slowly
taking in his surroundings
In the distance he could hear
the defined thud of the bolt
sliding snuggly into its chamber,
the click of assorted latches
in brassplate  and silver
midst echoed sighs contemplating
wished for moans
as delicate hands trembled

What would come of this stranger
peering, traversing the maze
sculpted of thorned hedges
and meandering lies heard
lingering of past encounters
Would he bare truth,
could he be the one
to break these chains of uncertainty,
rusted of worry
but loosened by desire

When there he stood
in the gateway, shrouded by iron bars
of ornate woven design
draped in a cloak of confidence,
defiant of fear, gallant in approach
Not bearing jewels nor golden trinkets,
but offering honesty,
words of love in truthful promises
lined with forevers 
once unimaginable

and she wept
for the sun had risen, 
an amorous glow of crimson
and amethyst blinding the sadness 
on a once forgotten horizon,
proclaiming a new day…
and she could see it,
she could feel it
and as he took her hand 
she knew as they
walked towards it...
she was free,
at last


Happy New Year everybody!

Under Shroud

Again a cosy snuggly night came
With some cosy sweet memories
Cosy memories reminding like horrible reminder
Reminding me conservative thinking of you
Still memorising ur name's alphabets 
It's slaying inside part of my body
Cosy night again fooling me 
Jerked me back...
How I wait of u in my porch
For one sweet glimpse....
Is that day come again??
Feeling like m coverd by ur arm
And in ur..I keep on relieving my pain
Enduring ur tightness
Broken pieces stick back
Memories are now loosing colour itself
black black black black..........
Body is under shroud drenched with unstoppable tears
Stop borne!!
Inevitable to know,riddle to the world...

When it comes to you

When it comes to you,
I know I am doing something right.
I have always known it from the start.
It's the way you just smile sometimes
On the sunny days that seem like nothing special
And you hold up my umbrella for us
And we walk hand in hand
And all I can see is you
Guess I have never mentioned it before

When it comes to you
I know I am doing something right
The universe seem to have aligned for me
It's how you can make everything better
My fatigue
My mind
My pain
Even my words
It surprises me
How I am coherent to you
Seems like you hear my heart and mind.

When it comes to you, 
I know I am doing something right
It's the way you can come see me even on rainy days
And walk with me even for a thousand miles
How I can take you everywhere
Even for things you have no business relating

When it comes to you
I know I am doing something right
It's how you can cook for me
Even so repeatedly
Like it's nothing
How you can take care of me
Like it's the most natural thing in the universe 
How you just bought a bandage because I was bleeding
It didn't matter I had my own

When it comes to you
I know I am doing something right
It's how I can tell your sincerity without even a word
I don't question you, I just know
And I don't even have to hear you say love me
Though I did like to hear it a 1000 times
I know it in my hearts of hearts
And I can listen to your breath
With your body so warm like a snuggly blanket
And how I can look into your eyes sometimes
Well I believe I have arrived at my destination.

The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary 

 The wind grows cold, branches turning bare sending yellow leaves down in silent arcs.

Raindrops tap a steady rhythm on the window pane while inside, the world stays safe and still.The espresso machine hums its lazy tune and spiced cider flows in deep gold waves.

I hold the heavy ceramic cup, absorbing the heat watching steam rise in soft, slow curls as  cinnamon and roasted beans sweeten the air. Every sip tastes like a quiet afternoon a brief pause while daylight fades into an early night.

The ceramic mug clicks against the wood, empty I push past the heavy glass door breaking the spell of cinnamon and steam.

The street greets me with a sharp, gray slap—traffic roaring, the wind pulling at my collar.

My shoulders tense under the weight of what waits next stepping back into the noise and the heavy, crowded day, but  for a few blocks more the ghost of warm cider stays on my tongue ,a small, hidden shield against the frost. 

Fall is here, its aroma stays upon my lips, warm soft fall sweater wrapped snuggly around my neck, untill tomorrow where my Sanctuary will once again beckon me

My Sadness Wears a Smile - Repost

My sadness wears a smile - Repost


“My darkness shall forever see, the happiness you brought to me”

My sadness wears a smile
when my eyes are closed,
keeping me from seeing
what waits outside
on that lonely pathway
leading through the park
we always talked about walking

Our song plays on the radio
and I hear it calling 
in the darkness,
the melody is soft and drifting,
echoing through the room
in the sweetest harmonies of
you and me

The taste of your euphoric kiss
still lingers upon my lips 
as I dare not speak
for fear of losing the sensation
that caressed me in a feeling of ambrosia,
desperate for the moment 
to be unending 

I encounter your eyes staring, floating
in my sorrowed mind,  
mahogany planets
hypnotically orbiting this vast space
that engulfs me, remnants of a dream,
circling the universe, eclipsing an April moon
we once called ours

And as I hold the poetry you sent, 
I do not see the words
promising forever love
but caress the paper
folded neatly to fit 
snuggly in the envelopes
addressed to me,
never to let go

Still I cannot look because 
when my eyes are opened
they are filled with tears
for the endless days ahead 
without you here,
but closed I can see 
what we had together

Reminding me that if 
I had never had you in my life,
the beauty that we shared
might not have been and without you 
my sadness would not be able to 
wear this smile remembering how it felt, 
to be loved by you
