i had a date to be born on this date
i can't understate, i just couldn't wait
it was my fate
my goal to gain weight
ain't that great

Imposter Pareidolia

Sometimes that mimetolith is a fraud
Torturing on the murky face of you
I understate it so feels worthy

By my blood taking the plunge worthy
In the name of love I execute the fraud
A little bit pretentious just for you

I do paralyzing and took you
Sacrilege of fires and worthy
Is it  natural love and how much is fraud?

I have always done fraud, you are so worthy

Time To Move On

Time to move on the spirit has said, 
we have finished our time in this fate,
 and written in word, the pathway has lead, 
the sadness I'll not understate... xox Don

Amazing how relevance comes and goes...
at some stage we are the all and everything, 
and then later the illusion fades till we become virtual strangers .... 

 



How relationships affect the psyche
xox

thank you Debbie Duncan

Karma, sow to reap etc ...My first wife was a bad mistake, i discover years later her Great grandmother was my Great Grandfathers sister. They say we come back into the same families, to work out Karma. perhaps I did!

As Good As It Gets

Sometimes I shiver
Like a hummingbird
My open heart races
With anticipation
I open and flutter
Tingling sensations
Transformed inspiration
Powerful ocean waves
Erode weak defenses
The best of intentions
Mysterious ways
Quietly understate
Depths of perception
The way we connect
And communicate
The absence of words
The invisible hands
Soft crust of desire
Warmed by the fire
Glowing for hours
As good as it gets.

Sometimes I Wonder

You think you can get it 
straight 
You just can't get it right 
Your goals lost sight 
Failure is an understate

There's not much you can do
You try another angle
A force is against you 
On a thread you dangle

You reach;you hold on
To any thing stable
You pull yourself up 
And cause a disrupt

Every action has a reaction
Ever number a fraction 
When you lift yourself up in 
that fashion 
There is a subtraction

You take life from what you 
grasp onto,seal it with a kiss
You couldn't handle what you 
had to do,taking was not your 
wish 
You just wanted to be ok
You never thought you would 
hurt people this way

Moral Contusions

rare moments of emotional exploration
indefinable spaces between the words in a conversation
warm with feelings found in romance or those realms & aspects of
physical love,
but owing up to neither,
just pleasures within a context of pleasure
brought to the hilt 
for the sake of the hilt &
all fetishes deemed glorious
all secret wants & needs specific to each human being
frolic in each weird little world
until they bump into another who shares the same &
in that collision,
the explosion stands for itself,
but these precious, unique events
find themselves pummeled with moral contusions,
times when a third party denounces the thrills of
two individuals
who between themselves have done nothing to harm anyone
who want to bring no attention
(unless exhibition is your spice of the day)
to the ways in which they get off &
instrinsically,
the ways that they have been brought together---
to say it’s a shame would be to largely understate the problem,
for in this day & age
some still think that their self-righteous nature 
allows them to condemn the lifestyles of others
because they might not be of their own specific
fancy.
