Be yourself
Enchant from a distance

Have a true dream
Avoid ghoulish competition
Passion in anything
Past lessons learned before reacting
Yes, it’s only beautiful if it’s different…...

A big concern during excavations
from granite hillsides is just
keeping limited mishaps near
observed palladium quantities,
reacting swiftly to utility vehicles
wanting X-rays yields zeroed....

your green twitching legs
making music in the grass
not so silently

pinging out at me
and sticking to my shoulder
reacting too late

dive into the grass
your enormous hiding place
i smile at your stealth...

Let me take you by your hand, lead us to our ending.
A place where we can embrace, released from company.
Where our DNA would saturate, slowly mixed together.
A reaction worth reacting to, long-standing urgency....

The lion in me wants to roar my truth
tearing the invaders apart with her teeth and claws
the lamb in me holds back.
reluctant to show her hooves,
knowing the value of being understated
and waiting before reacting
I hear the lion roar....

Artifice-cultivation 
Cracking pitches, up at bat
Impactful, this journey to fame
Reacting, claims to my own name
Control, my poison cup

So let go as follows
untying the knot
Wading through crystal water
Unearthed root systems 
Free, complete...

cut off
deprived

magnetized
sensitized

to crave
desire

ache
the longing

touching
caressing

skin tingling
reacting

sensations
heightened

devouring
sole passion

We all grieve in our own little way but this was a bit unusual
Fireworks a wife put in her late husband's pockets were really beautiful
A heart-felt display
A loving gesture I'd say
Maybe reacting harshly but they had problems irrefutable...

Did he have to toss me out here? 
Alleys are not comfortable places to be dumped off.
Noting a bad feeling, I keep my mace close. 
Gory things happen to those who are unaware. 
Even if I cannot see someone, I sense them. 
Reacting to my fear, I keep my back bristled....

This is 
not a world for me.
I am no
good for it.
First of all,
I can't be young again

and can't 
hope. I miss
hoping.
Stand around
in the market
useless in my space

reacting to the
pardon me
of those who seek
what they need.
They are the pleasant ones
who smile in their waiting....

shock 
                       electric, astound 
           zapping, traumatizing, reacting 
 speechlessness, surprise, spellbound, thrill 
           bedazzling, gaping, impressing 
                     majestic, awestruck,
                                   awe

FIREFLY

      Luciferin in
      abdomen of a firefly
      reacting with air
      forming warm glow of glowworm.
       Firefly without any fire.

Sometimes I drive to work
listening to nothing except tires rolling
and air conditioning blowing,
few thoughts since I got out of bed,
just reacting to the world and road,
can feel brain shrinking, no heavy load,
no heartache or pain, worries that clatter,
even my duties ahead don’t matter,
till I park, and the day shifts to start....

witnessing without reacting
in as if a response arises
it is simply noticed
as a nonevent
a mere wave
appearing in mind
or felt within our body
both of which we are not
thus void-centric is our stance 
an ever present stillness continuum 
moment to moment in time thus
treading mindfully on earth
leaving no residue

The poet’s heart so solitary
Never to be understood
It bleeds with ink, fluidity
Releasing as it should
Others can not grasp the beat
Nor, can they tame the pace
Reacting as if faced with fear
Yet, not wanting it replaced
For in the heart there lies the truth
The poet’s artistic way
A quality so loved by all
Understood? No, not today....

She, life, is for living her, 
not for thinking her,
you have to forget yourself,
gliding in personal and 
societal  avenues, 
acting and reacting 
attracting and rejecting 
forgetting where and when 
was the start 
and where and when
it's the end. 
Live it like it's eternal,
die tomorrow but today 
plan what to do
the day after tomorrow....

No one is reacting as dramatically as me.

Because no one is struggling as dramatically as me. 

Some unspecified illness-

To them is not real. 

Maybe they are not conscious of their callousness. 

But it still feels like I must reach a crisis for action to be taken. 

Whether the guilt falls on me or them-

They will still be my own scars....

puckered
i like your shapely legs
your thighs are awesome
so muscular

your pek pek shorts hug you
as i want to do
me naked

my body reacting to you
i want to be there
between your thighs

to explore you baby
i love you and your legs

Stunned by her beauty, our tongues would not work
We could not stop staring, she was a flaming goddess
A princess, a queen, the quintessential woman
We admired her from afar, afraid to get closer.

Her beauty might dazzle our eyes out.
Who is she? I asked, when I regained my speech.
Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty and passion.
Validation that I was not overreacting....

                                         Justice
                            Subjective, questionable 
                          Building, creating, reacting 
                Colony, anger, happiness, perspective 
                        Identifying, acting, laughing
                             Cumbersome, vocal

Insurmountable
These feelings seem to overpower
As your breath seduces me
Calls to me 
Excites the very part of me
That seems to always seek more
And needs more

I am enamored
Brilliantly blinded by beauty
Sensually, silently seduced
Reacting quietly, yet fervently
Heated to reactive tendencies
Letting my mind erupt in fantasy
As thought turns to reality...

I am scared of medications
They terrify me
because of the effects
they have on me

They rarely do what
is expected,
and almost never do
what they do for others,
for me

Because I have the
dubious talent of
not reacting to
medications in 
expected
or usual
ways

Pills that
knock three hundred
pound men out for
seventeen hours
keep me wide awake
for seventy-two hours....

Blinded by a world of fantasies. 
Sometimes the mind idealizes love.
Transporting your senses to a
state of madness.
Clouding the thoughts and way 
of reacting.

Reality is a straight wake up to the reason.
Realizing that never existed in fact
what the mind conceived.
Trembling all the world that was
fantasized.
Seeing life with a new frame.
