Two Halves Of A Whole
“Position of power” addresses it lightly – and it is more intricately complicated that this.
The relationship must have congruent compatibility elements beyond basic categories.
Those hidden inner workings must appeal and be naturally drawn to the surface.
Mutuality
I would much rather societal funds assist me, for I continue to invest in society.
Give And Take
I was offered a loan to finish my Bachelor’s degree. But then, it was rescinded because I refused to let the lenders conscript me.
Duck And Go
She liked to keep out of trouble.
Politics
People are an essential resource. And if we are turned against each other, we can be divided and consumed like disposable units.
Against The Grain
Quivering while accessing her online past business account, she strained against her body’s resentful reaction to its natural talents being forcefully turned inward.
Someone Like Me
Restless and
Dissatisfied
An ardent dreamer
Unafraid to materialize
From inception
To manifestation
Belief’s faith in humanity
Without compromise.
The Muse
Keeping out of reach while igniting others fires might be the best positively influential position.
Moonstruck: Ronny And Loretta
Ronny Cammareri: Playing it safe is just about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do. You waited for the right man the first time, why didn’t you wait for the right man again?
Loretta Castorini : He didn’t come!
Old And Crickety
It makes me mad that the accident has pushed me back into feeling like I belong in this category.
Geode
The more she knew and understood herself, the more she began to think perhaps it was better that she continued to be on her own.
(Wild Like Her – Corey Kent)
Aversion Therapy
Being shown time and again the type of man who is not good for me.
Independent Agent
As false promises and professions of adoration fall to ground, crumbling to dust, I still seek a way to give others hope and strengthen integrity.
(Indiscipline – King Crimson)
Where The Wild Things Roam
If they had not been forced to the mountainside,
Would she have thrived instead of turning feral?
Exhausting strength to keep family pack safe,
Her justice was swift though lovingly careful
Her youngest had wrestled with the backlash
Isolation can bring by its drawn out denial
She’d had to counter challenges to leadership,
As if they both had been born to be rivals
She reflected upon the latest information:
It was good the younger male had stayed away
She already had “a passel of puppies”
And did not need to feed one more stray
Now with injuries tucked in bright meadow,
She still skirts along shadows of hedge
Deflecting any new male advances
To ensure that she keeps a clear head.
End Of The Road
It took a lot to drive her to this point
So she got out of the car.
Changes
What I want and
What I’m willing to do for it
Are no longer the same.

Homeward Bound
On the treadmill of life
Gotta watch for your exits
‘Cause once you’re on it
There ain’t second chances
You can shuck corn all day
And wish ya had braces
But that don’t gain a pass
To Nordstrom’s or Macy’s
Gotta sidestep that reel
For your life to feel real
If you wanna go higher
And not whither expire
While you’re makin’ those plans
Gotta reach out your hands
And step off when that chance
Chasse’s you parliance
Now you ken close to me
If you wanna be set free
Ain’t no man gonna pay
For what he’s taken away
And your children once grown
Will find their own homes
So you gotta befriend
On thine own self depend
Keep an eye on that ball
However near or gone far
Make a promise so true
It’ll come back to you
When that timin’ is right
Yonder day into night
That sweet wind comin’ ’round
And you’ll hop to the ground
Find it solidly
There to guide you
—–
Chasse’s is as “sashay” like “swing your partner, dosido (in square dance)” and parliance is like it comes to catch your attention to takes its chance.
“Potpourri”
Hyde’s Bride: Positivity
It was difficult for her to keep an eye out for the bright side of life when the darkness just kept choking and smothering.
“Familiarity” [R&G-10]
On those isolated slopes
Higher than most is where
She prefered to fly and glide,
Rising above din’s civilization.
Cosplay Bird Courtship
“I was thinking you might be into the interstellar theme?”
Hyde’s Bride: Regression
She always wanted to advance, but sometimes she just couldn’t muster.
(Suit And Jacket – Judah And The Lion)
“Youngling’s Side Quip Edit” [R&G-9]
“I ain’t scared of you,” the raptor sassily retorted. “I ain’t no pidgeon…”
“Wanna know the PSI of these bad boys?” as a claw is held up and brandished.
“300-400 PSI for an eagle – whereas only
around 300 PSI for the bite of a Rottweiler!”
(As he flexes a claw at her, she is screechin’, “Me, too, ‘bi***!'”)
“Flex Appeal” [R&G-8]
“You know, my kind has been known to just grab and eat birds without hesitating” – and one of his massive claws suddenly broke loose from its moaring to crackling-flex its intimidating strength at her.
She just shook her feathers and tucked her lithe body farther behind the safety of his haunch while quipping, “But I’m no irreverent pidgeon!”
“The Treatise” [R&G-7]
“For whatever reason, I am glad that you are with me,” she confided.
Hyde’s Bride: How Could It Be
That he was the key?
Hyde’s Bride: Division Of Labour
“Those of limited learning whom do not know better would refer to such a condition as a ‘split personality complex’ – rather than recognizing that acknowledgement of one’s individualized, variable aspects is an indication of advanced self awareness.”
“Better Late Than Never” [R&G-6]
“You’ve got to learn how to kick off that stony crust a little…” said the raptor to the gargoyle.
“A-Musing Discourse” [R&G-5]
It is our capability to expand our imaginations – which either grants us passage, or keeps us from attempting.to become more than we’ve ever before dreamed of becoming.
“Birds Of A Feather” [R&G-4]
“You should return to the rolling meadows where there are plump game and roosting nests aplenty,” his gravel-deep voice advised her. “You will find no ready nor easy sanctuary here.”
“Yes,” she admitted, “what you say may be true. But I have found you – and you are something precious, wild, and rare.”
“Half Of A Pair” [R&G-3]
It was almost as if there were a deflection spell about her when it came to finding a good partnership.
She kept trying to do things that “normal” birds and other earthly creatures do, but the difference was that she just naturally and automatically slid beyond barriers of limitations.
In fact, she was becoming quite a capable wind shifter.
“Female Logic” [R&G-2]
“We are the same, you and I, for we both have wings,” she asserted.
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Well Met
She arrived one day to perch next to him, her warm shoulder leaning against his crouching outer thigh to avoid the high-rise, whipping air currents with a trusting closeness he was unaccustomed to and surprised by.
She asked him about his city, the places he loved, and what he enjoyed doing.
But he had been frozen stiff in contemplation looking out over the city as if guarding it for so long, that it was hard for him to break his vow of silence and give her his reply.

(Destroyer – Core Music Inc.)
Hyde’s Bride: Reaching For Light
She kept fighting the overwhelming urges and impulses as they attempted to swamp any semblance of her remaining reason.
She marveled in her struggles at how much sway the female primordial affected when driven into a frenzy by chemical exacerbations
Meeting head-on the waves attempting to crush her stalwart resolution, she could only will her passions into bending pliantly in hopes that the prime directives would simply wash over her.
For there was no safe harbor within which to shelter as she was ravaged upon by the lashing sea.
The sensations tugged and tore at her relentlessly while she clung to her pride’s propriety.
Full Circle
They were by that river’s edge, next to the overnight inn, and the late afternoon sun hedging toward the day’s setting was amber-lighting the whisping gold in her hair.
They were just talking about nothing important while feeding the wild waterfowl, yet more was there, growing between them.
Simple moments shared within a singular timeline…
And they were daring to care.
For Hearth’s Home
The rabid creatures test the firelight,
And the sword’s arm keeps swinging.
Spell Of Annulment
To not pursue seemed the only way
To break the ever-repeating cycle…
