Long Toning Poems

I went out on Friday
In entirely in the wrong frame of mind but everything was fine, although I've analysed myself in hindsight to within an inch of my life.

Had a lift that arrived early so...

Time echoes and resonates 
without language,
successfully invests 
in green ecstatic backdrop,
below misty blue sky

Spotted and splashed Earth space,
blossomed in round yellows and spindling purples
soft blues and flaming orange

Fragile
naked moments of fully fertile tone
bilateral shapes and...

Let me change my toning
Skills mastered and others still honing
I am not droning
People to this day passed away from a stoning
Continually condoning
With no cease to cloning
It's become often and corroding
Occasionally exploding
All the while a struggle...

Very fortunate to have attended college

Got lost on his quest to finding courage

Who is this woman of glory, valor, and virtue?

She, like a melodious instrument, plays songs of wonderment that my soul enjoys.

She with joyous harmony completes my every measure...

My oldest friend,
and older, too,
has a daily yoga practice
of self-care,
which I would healthier emulate.

But, when I mentioned this
as rich in comparison
with my own brief leg stretches
while tube-feeding my son,
and occasional too brief dancing
and jumping
with my...

Wild willow tears
A poignant elegy to ecstasy
weeping as if embraced by a light breeze
Suspended in a sad splash of water

Her eyes drooped
regarded the aqua pond
There are willows in her bay
Her tears are trickling down
You are...

Aging skin, I smile, frown, ignore and pay way too much attention to my own

Martial arts come in many forms
They’d studied the animals until dawn
With style and grace they master their art
From dusk till dawn they train from the heart



Fluid and free they move like water
Practicing moves that could...

Feelings of mine
Similar as a chiming of church bells.

My feeling of love is like bells,
Echoing loudly.

Sorrow as beautiful 
A blue as bluebells.

Gradual as time
Flows onwards, profound.

Feelings I hold.
Love found as gold as a bell.

My feeling...

The truth of the matter is that it matters to me

But the truth of the matter is that I have forgot

Light skin, fair skin
All clamoured for by 
Creams to the rescue
Fading creams, toning creams
All bleaching creams

Women and men, old and young
all clamouring for light skin.
Looks enhancers 
creams a dozen to a penny

Melanin, so disdainful
Ebony black...

In more quiet moments, I may look inward

Noticing about myself

The little things that need changing as well as

Regular traits that I could still improve on.

Obliteration of a few bad habits seems impossible to me,

So toning...

shades from the darkest grey to silver
floating within Heavenly skies 
with white patches toning grey

Defeated, hopeless, helpless. 
A slow sinking of the heart.
Overwhelmed. Drowning. 
The brain has reflexes. 
Plugging. Toning. 
Must find a balance. 
Right, wrong, whatever.
Masquerade, parade,
celebrate illusions. 
Conspiracy, hypocrites 
sewn into innate intelligence. 
Regrets, cigarettes, beer

“UNDERWATER CONTOURS”

Curves and contours testify
The mirror never tells a lie
Bathroom scale the confirmation
Body toning contemplation

Sub-aqua training fitness enhances
Submerged serenity with sparkling nuances
Gliding fulfilment and dissociation
Flooding the senses-- underwater salvation

Upward blue curves denting the side
