Premium Member A Disagreement With Rumi

"...if you are too careful love will not find you." ~Rumi

If you are not careful
Love will find you,

Like fire finds a tinder.

Optimism

Optimism can be a blessing in disguise
If you’re not careful it can turn to arrogance 
If you are too careful it can dwindle to the smallest hope
Optimism has to have a balance or it can become dangerous 
It can create a whole new experience in your world
Or destroy your world in a split second.

Miss my fam most days
don't know why.. 
blame it on the rain,
blame it on the sunshine.  

Trust isn't an issue with me.. 
usually.
Just allow less access
'cause you can't be too careful 
these days.

You have to look..
to find it in a heart
it's a game of chance
and odds..  
so look hard.

If you want, or if you need
look deep,
most days.


Heart Box

I keep my heart 
in a box
Lined in lead 
triple locked

Can't be too careful
you know these days
With Kryptonite 
and what girls say

My heart's been hurt
so many times
I had the lead
velvet lined

To give it somewhere 
soft to lay
Until it feels
it feels okay

My heart you see 
can indeed 
Be the most
peculiar thing

Softened in
its tender parts
Hardened from
all the hurt

Hence the box
triple locked
Lined in lead 
for this poor heart

Premium Member Monkeypox

I went to Walmart this morning - yes, it was very brave.
My dander was up - I was on high alert - for active shooters and the unmasked.

Then I saw him! A man on the cookie aisle - he looked like he had the monkeypox!
So, I kicked him in the nuts and ran - you can’t be too careful out there.


It turns out that he was just an 80-year-old retiree wearing a polka-dot shirt.
I apologized - from a safe distance - as the paramedics carted him away.


It felt like a close call.
