Babydoll shoes
in a split second clocking
the first mile of womanhood 
for a relative too close for comfort 
proximity is close enough...

The proximity
Insatiable

Why does it hurt
Death of the Kamikaze
Society red

no
i don't
want to
splatter

i 
don't 
want to
be the blunderbuss

of
love
i would
like to be

the arrow
or dart that
hits your heart
or at least your bullseye...

Proximity To Anonymity

We had been floating up the creek;
And end of it had started to seek;
Probable proximity,
Was to anonymity;
Disappeared when longer did leak.

Proximity of Anonymitity

When a person was near the proximity,
Of lack of identification and anonymity;
Am so alone;
Might moan;
Abundant peace appeared a proclivity.

                                         sensitive proximity -
                                           winters quietude...

Near Or Within Proximity 

Would be nice if near or within proximity,
Of where we found respect and humility;
By God bless;
Bible possess,
And I am thankful He gave it all to me.

A Morning Thought
From: Miracle Man
July 5, 2021

Neither time or proximity, 
can heal a heart once broken.
Nor can one’s air of sublimity,
unsay those harsh words spoken.

There may be time and distance between us
But I see you Burn Beautiful
Look at the sky on any given night
We don't measure the beauty of the stars
By their proximity
They are there
And they Burn Beautiful...

Faraway glances
Don’t tell the whole story
I saw you from a distance
And fell in love
But as we got closer,
As I closed the book on you,
My blurry eyes cleared up
And I pictured you in proximity
And fell out of love...

In touch
but not
in proximity

in proximity
but not in touch
perplexing.

which is real?
which is not?

in this world,
but unseen,
enjoying the holiday
more than you ever
did in the flesh
body

Which is real?...

Happiness isn't far
Just near around the corner
Like crave for apple
You don't look too far
Look what's near to you
Easy to reach and eat
Life is like that also
It is like wi-fi
The farthest your goal
The hardest the signal....

I see the beast in the feild.
Head held high. Horns beautiful.
How I admire his duty. My
errors seem so foul in proximity
to his beauty. I go to the market
where I see a child steal
something of little price.
I feel less guilty of my vice....

My body showers your fragrance 
Every breath i take has your taste 
Feeling your touch makes me glow
Those soft words now echo 
The dew drops on my lips has warmth of your heart 
With bowed eyes when i think of you
I squeeze in me the moments that i value...

Proximity is the major factor in who tickles your tickler
The odds are small of tickling ticklers beyond your perimeter 
Even though if you met      
All worked up you'd get
The sweetie down the streetie will most likely click your clicker...

Can only smoke remain visible to thee?
I arraign the distance carved out in gashes.
Proximity charred me to ashes,
Left me to burn, yet never felt the flame.
One glare from the dazzling dame,
To burn one's own nest, how absurd!
Blazed my heart, that sunbird....

Picked a seat right next to you 
repulsed by the mere inches 
obstructing me from a touch;    
X marks the spot, 
invade my fragile bubble; 
Make me a little bit nervous, 
invite me to snuggle; 
Together is so much better, 
your vibe a soft velour blanket....

My closest friends, who number three
I heed not thus for loyalty
and neither camaraderie 
but simply in proximity

They live not down my alleyway
nor porch, nor in my house per se
but underneath my fringed toupee
they're in my head, well stowed away

How content I am with you
This togetherness will always be new

The proximity I feel 
Is not possible to reveal

My thoughts were at edge
Breathe in me was hedge

With his one glance
My eyes dripped by chance

Those words I read
Certainly “love can be cured by marriage” is well said....

You burst
into my life
irrational as it
may be
I felt a warmth
that could
only be measured
by the depth
of it's madness.
Two hearts
beating in proximity
caused me to wonder
Do I Love in vain?
We spoke
and tried to
make sense
of all this
while we were
in a trance
of the beloved...

it took so much for me
to stop myself-
such close proximity,
my need dangled in 
the air, standing hair
on end. you are
an imposing threat,
sent to deliver flesh
from bone, destroy all
in your wake. i will take
my chances, dance
around your taste buds,
tickle your chin with
dirty nails....
