attaching my hopes and dreams 
to the bees and butterflies in the garden
I watched them disappear into the ether
hoping they will uplift others...

attaching himself
to her bliss
to a place
not much more higher than this
longing
yet obtuse
with creations
relying on kinetics
embracing its essence
all to be discontinued....

Identifying

With a story

Is the attraction

Offered by

Separation..

Searching and

Attaching to a

Satisfying story

Is the path of

Knowing in search

Of not-knowing......

There once was a Leo from St. Paul.
Who attended a masquerade ball.
My friend thought he would risk it
and came dressed as a biscuit.
An Aries Lab chomped him up in the hall!




Was unsuccessful attaching the Zodiac sign....

Sometimes in the end
New beginnings cling
Attaching themselves to new premises lend
~
Random yearning closures rings
Often dismiss as over rolf
The end comes and out of its mouth
Future verge fringe

Keanu in Hawaiian means “cool breeze over the mountains"
This man is a saint, he stands alone without question
Gives millions without recognition
A true martyr by any definition
Helps cancer research, without attaching his name to his donations

An extraordinary Canadian!...

Measuring our time each year,
ever-present background fear.
longing for the end to come,
attaching meaning to the sum.
nearer to us our fate draws,
creeping time to natures laws.
how we search for end of time,
older, older, it's sublime.
lingering in youth of old,
years are passing, time unfolds...

"Regeneration 7"

The stories 
like leaves
flew fast from 
the Tree of Life

on each leaf
seeds dispersed
like memories
detaching, attaching

to others’ stories
breathing empathy

to walking dreams
the frisson shined
to still life
new life, 

arrived;

regeneration

she had allergies to grass so we brought the garden inside
attaching one flower at a time to the wall, so she could see them
she was careful as she examined them one by one
giggling as she gingerly touched them in no order
she will eat them, her grandpa predicted
but she did not, she caressed them
a barefooted toddler ballerina who loved floral...

human 
  versus ism
you have to believe 
  in god
to sell your soul 
  to the devil

humanism

she opens her chest drawer
a button shines

she unhangs her coat
slacks it off cold wire shoulders
a button gone
lost in rain or rage 
or lusting tussles 
neither remembers anymore

she grips a needle
a thread follows behind 
attaching a new fastener 
to an old flap of jacket

she puts on the coat
models the mismatching
spins in front of a familiar mirror
watches herself
walks out a door

she never walks back in...

Roaming around 

Roaming around with 
Legs fighting flirting 
Writing meeting eating 
Drinking stucking sucking 
Ducking into the well of love 

Roaming around swimming 
Chewing meaning straching attaching fixing mixing of love 

Roaming around the house of 
Cards roads ropes dopes of love 

Roaming around with the smell 
Hell Nell of love 

Roaming around to tell sorry for the love 


With love all

Bone-tired?
Your muscles get tired, actually
Well, perhaps it's the fascia
the connective tissue sheath
mainly collagen
beneath the skin
attaching or separating 
the muscles

Chilled to the bone?
Not likely, fellow
unless you are emaciated
due to illness or famine or such
Otherwise, your bones
are probably still
body temperature, 98.6F

I imagine by now that
you've a bone to pick with me
Go ahead.  I dare you to try that....

Loyalty and Faithfulness 
Now words of the past,
Open relationships
But you really expect
it to last?
Self esteem issues
often duplicated
Late night text
are often fabricated
assassinated 
Tears falling
Crying resonated

Relationships last
when morals
are involved
Old girlfriend 
past lies
Unresolved
Patience is key
never move to fast
Grandma's sugar cookies
Great taste 
But never last,
Its not about 
being cute and 
Matching,
Focus only on
God and attaching...

I Sink into a river 
Of stress
And anxiety
What if I don't graduate?
What if I don't get into medical school?
Questions swirl in my mind
As other people look 
And wonder 
Why are you stressed?
Your life is not that hard
Just because I am 19 
Does not mean I don't have stress
Does not mean that things can be hard for me
Each day its like another a rope is 
Attaching to my leg
pulling me further 
Into the river
Making it harder to breathe and
to live my life
I hate anxiety...
