Words have meaning to impart,
When "she reassured me with an unfamiliar line"
I knew that soon our hearts would part
As words show the heart's incline
Sometimes you have to read between the lines
To discern what's being said
Then you'll see the sign
and the deceit you're being fed
As the sun begins to set
Memories flash across my mind
Her words do linger yet
With echoes of her unfamiliar line
Grandma, only you can make me feel all right.
Only you, when you hug me so tight.
Your smile makes the moon shine bright.
Only you can light the darkest night.
"She reassured me with an unfamiliar line"
That sweet, sweet Granddaughter of mine.
Now I am old and frail and insecure.
No longer the person I was before.
Her words '' I will adore you,
Til all the trees turn blue,
Until rain falls upward, back to the sky,
And we are together, you and I.''
the ocean is unfamiliar
i see the aging in the seaweed's expressionism
oh how i love getting reacquainted with an old favorite
change is inevitable despite my imagination's best efforts
the ocean is unfamiliar
i went broke and left broken mirror glass in different spots in the sand
oh how i love catching up with an old loyal friend
change is inevitable despite my self constructed planet's best efforts
the ocean is unfamiliar
i became a victim once again of my own poor decisions and unfortunate pickiness
oh how i love the PeaceFull Feel of Charlie's Unconditional Acceptance and Love
change is forever inevitable despite my dusty wishes spring filled hope's best efforts
it is always terrifying to follow MapQuest
the guide’s voice might stop talking halfway there
or you might hear “turn there” after you have blown by an alleyway
if your phone rings while you are trying to follow, do you answer it?
Not if you have no idea where you are heading
I narrowly escape a panic attack every time I drive somewhere new
or somewhere I have not been for awhile
I am not the person who remembers how they got here the last six times
driving anywhere unfamiliar is a daymare for me
is it my age?
hello yes
I am also a small town girl
that doesn’t help me much
You bend me, twist me, break me
In unfamiliar ways
All pleasure no pain
You soft as petal, you light as a feather
Unhoused me
You have my body, my flesh and bones
I must now build a home in you
A Real Connection
Your thoughts are my beacon guiding me safely
through this journey to the wanting caverns of your mind.
You close your eyes and I fly home to guide
your thoughts to the safety of my mind.
I hear your angelic voice, calm
as I soar above the whistling
wind of a silent understanding.
Words leap from my mind onto a page
I stare at them
Wondering from whence they came
Knowing tomorrow I will not recognize them at all
Or maybe even in an hour
Love Unfamiliar
How do you know when a man really feels love for you?
When you have never experienced love or intimacy.
All that she knows is physical touch and sexual play to relay how she feels what she truly sees.
I do know this! I don't want to lose him or make him think that sex is all that I want or know how to do.
So how do I deal and accept all these Unfamiliar feelings?
How do we move forward so that I dont lose you?
Can you be patient with the way that I feel and accept me and love me for who I am?
Or am I destined to be alone and is this conflict too much for any man.
Love Unfamiliar I want to experience and to be loved I just need to be shown guidance and to truly accept how I feel.
I need to understand that the things that I'm feeling that YES I am deserving and that YES it is real.
It will take the Patience of a very loving soul.
To break down my walls and keep my heart.
Tell me are you really ready to give me your all?
Can you truly play this part?

TO THE UNFAMILIAR BEAUTIFUL GIRLS-
(Israt Jahan & Jhing Atchi Madrigal)
wow so beautiful you are, the paragon of beauty
innocent the sight, the eyes, the nose, the lips, the chin….
why, why you are so beautiful to look
oh I don't know
but yeah
last night I have a pain
in the shadow dark of moon,
last night I was alone
oh my master,
yeah my master of soul separated me
from his contemplation den,
this morning my master of soul
has gone ,
yeah, has gone to his desired land
now the butterflies circumambulating me
I let them go to your beautiful eyes, lips, and chin
but I won’t allow to touch you,
the garden of rose gifted more flowers this morning,
I let all to carry their fragrance to your nose
but I won’t allow them to make you allergic
this that the flowing river
builds in its stream the rhythm of liking
and I let it reside in your sense of beauty
but I don't allow to bother you,
O beauty it's my intrinsic style of writing
you may allow or disallow
but I'm in me the real
yeah, but I won't allow this reality to tease you

Does loneliness strike when entering a new space,
that we choose, or is chosen for us
Is the isolation a door to where we must go,
a new portal, our spirits in flux
Is being alone the price that we pay,
breaking through, old walls to come down
Fresh voices to translate, new whispers to hear
—as we tread unfamiliar ground
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
Having wandered all the wrong places
Where love and life don't feel at ease,
He was muzzled by his own solitude
Finding comfort in lonesome universe.
It took a while, but soon he realized
When pointing to a star in distant sky
Beauty of the cosmic hues multiplies
Huddled together with lover's eyes.
Verbalizing feelings he then surmised
Seeing a lone bird on a gracious ride,
So much more fun it would be to see
A flock of birds in synchronous glide.
He still doesn't know how to recognize
Signs that foretell a budding sunrise
Mired instead in darkness of night
Content to not see beyond the fog.
Tugged by prodding of visions ahead
Unfamiliar still how friends are made
Harboring heartbreak as love awakes,
Foolishly he enables fervor to escape.

The years which came and gone I was to face
With many days of waste without a care
The motionless time I cannot replace
Leaves a cloak with shredded holes I must wear
I chose to walk upon an uncleared path
With nothing there to guide along the way
To contemplate the years of aftermath
To understand the reasons that outweigh
I am content with choices that I've made
Through each traveled year of life, I found
In a century born I could not evade
My soul was trapped in unfamiliar ground
The world I found was far beyond my mind
I yearned for something there I could not find
1/8/18
Veiled under a sheer red silk cloth,
She lay naked for a while.
An hour to dawn,
Breathing in the darkness,
She hopes to again be born.
Tasting
A sweet breeze,
Seeing
A million stars,
Still a void stays
Like there’s no end to the night.
Reveling in the carousel of placidness,
She lets her mind standstill.
The presence of the present,
A sudden click she feels.
Captured like a melody
in her mind the vagueness spread,
Like waves frozen in winter,
Her naked skin played.
A beguiling aura holds her heart,
A writhe for pleasure returns.
Lost in interpretation were the emotions,
The blaze deeply burns.
Unaware and confused,
She rather closes her eyes.
Letting the night swathe and usher her into another day,
She’ll wait for the song to pass
& the desires to settle,
The longing to hold,
And the heart to reel,
Back into a familiar place.
I’m falling and falling
This place is unknown
It took me awhile to get here
I’m so darn scared
That I want to leave
What am I to do here
This is an unknown territory
I can hardly breathe
My heart is beating fast
I’m about to suffocate
I look up and see a big sign
In bold letters that read
“ Welcome To Love Land”

It's that time in life,
time to take a journey of faith
Hit the road and go
to a new unfamiliar place
Somewhere where nobody knows me,
but at the same time,
I'm going to the place I need to be
Was told I need to get out of my comfort zone
Being out on your own all alone
will make a person very uncomfortable
Everywhere you go,
you're meeting a new someone
you don't know
Unfamiliar faces ...
residue of the past still leave traces
Footprints of your soul,
being led by the Spirit
Going anywhere it tells you to go
Strange new places
filled with unfamiliar faces
They become more familiar each day,
the longer you stay
Old familiar faces fade
the longer you are away
Those unfamiliar faces now become like an old friend,
always welcoming ... never asking where have you been
