A Woman’s Plight
“She has the burden of ensuring that there are only wanted pregnancies; the burden of taking the hormones to prevent any; the burden of trying to stay sane, polite, and loving while the hormones rip her mind apart and ramp her emotional sensitivity beyond manageability; and she has the burden of dealing with the loss and rejection when she is discarded and replaced by or in favor of some soon other – making her become the victim of yet another crime of absolute and complete lack of accountability, responsibility, or any commitment from the man and/ or men who feed into her being continuously put into this position.
Because we all know that although men still expect perfection, they do not ensure that women can have any – and in fact, now take so much more and contribute even less (if at all) to help abate – let alone diminish – a woman’s deep distress that the man/men have propagated.”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Common Ground
It might not have been what he wanted, but she could tell that it was what he needed.
“A Gray Day”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: The Gift
“I will be your friend and help you mend,” she said. “Take me to where you need me.”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Dreamtime
(Something On My Mind – Purple Disco Machine)
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Game On
If she could not budge him from his cemented adhesions, she knew that she had to go into his world to better surmise any absolution.
“You would do this for me?” his disbelief mixtured with amazement. “You know that the odds are high against your success, and there is danger in this business…”
What Sounds Like A Mouse, But Isn’t?
A lone, unfrozen Pedialite Pop shifting in an open, otherwise empty box during transport.
(Sensitivity at the tail end of dealing with a home mouse invasion…)
(Starbuster – Fontaines DC)
Reclusion
Having fallen into the trap of yet another man’s disgarding ambitions, and realizing that the car accident’s injuries at least for another year would rank her as if she were in her seventies, her brief thoughts of trying to find a real love match got scrapped as she turned her attentions ever further inward.
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Underground
He took so long to answer that she wasn’t at first sure that he’d been listening…
Then a sense of his strength washed over her as warmth of his low growling chuckle filled the spaces around them, echoing off the blackened-by-night walls of the high-rise nook where they perched ensconced, gazing at the bright city lights far, far out toward the water’s edge, and way down far below them.
“As you wish,” his voice resonated deep within her mind. “Follow me down if you’re daring…”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Mindmeld
“Take me to where you go,” she asked of him. “Show me of your world, and what you value in that sanctum…”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Maelstrom
“I know…” she assented. ” You think that due to my form and size, that I am incapable of those things that you seek and desire.
But, tell me, oh still frozen-solid one.
What do you think it has taken for me to endure life’s trials and, yet, still keep returning here?
You think me small because I let you think me small – so as not to frighten you from your precarious perch that you are still so valuing…”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Interlude
(Bloodstream – Stateless)
Ominous Positivity
(Dreamline – Rush)
“Bright Horn”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Heart’s Haven
She sighed in slight exasperation, yet contentment, puffed soft against his neck, feathers tickling his nose as his head turned to peer at her with a skeptical, stoney eye.
“I keep trying to find where my heart belongs – as you’ve told me to,” she confided.
“But, my journeys keep leading me back to you.”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Promise
“I’m very good at hunting for survival,” she chirped, admitting in quiet confidence.
“And one thing I’ve gotten very good at seeking and finding is the rarest kind of love. The kind where the heart beats deep with passion.
“I can still sense a trace of it near here, somewhere…” and she carefully inched up his arm onto his shoulder to settle against his warm rock neck, feathers gently fluffing.
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Duality
“We must both feed,” she reasoned. “The darkness in you calls to my own, hidden deep inside of me, just as the light in my heart offers your own’s reprieve.”
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Rebuttal
“And yet, I still love you…” she affirmed.
(I Am The Highway – Audioslave)
The Raptor And The Gargoyle: Dear To Me
“Do you like that I return to you and alight like a bird upon your sleeve?” she asked the gargoyle.
“In truth, it comforts me to see your bright ways return to contrast against the gray of my world’s city. But I worry for you…”
“Why?” she asked him. “There is a sense of home here for me. Can not this make you happy that I return to thee?”
“Because I will never change my ways for you,” he grumbled. “I will never allow your colors, nor your sunlight, to transform me.”
Interlopers
Those men who go into sacred places where they take, yet have no intention of honoring nor contributing to.
(Black Hole – Griff)
Sense Of Love
Many people hide away and bury their love, closing it off to where it thins to only the merest underground spring’s trickling.
Others are unaware that it thrums thick in their veins, calling those who quest to find, become nourished by, and to revel in it.
“Sceptor’s Power”
Zoom…
(On + Off – Maggie Rogers)
Release
“It’s a relief to no longer be on standby.”
The Quest For Love
She also keeps rare gems of her memories.
But these are moments where love had been.
(Uninvited – Alanis Morissette)
When Cycles Repeat
Defend territory.
Love’s Commitment
“Exhalted”
(Rhythm Of Love – Yes)
Lord -?
“Please stop sending men to me who are NOT capable of reciprocating!”
(I Just Need U – TobyMac)
Worth It vs. Earned It
What?!
Is love just a game?!!!
“Nestling Leaves”
Word Of The Day
Gubernatorial
(The Kid Is Hot Tonight – Loverboy)
The Dating Scene
“I’m pissed because it seems I have a type that is attracted to me: young or old, kindly loving and nurturing one moment – then ever distant.
Talk about “daddy issues!”
All shapes and sizes, masked and chameleonizing, to reveal that same dead end I keep bumping up against.
I don’t know how to change this.
THAT’S what makes me bitter.
THAT’S what gets me down.
Men who are capable of the deepest, most profound loving, killing it – and allowing it to be dead and buried, underground.
You want to know what keeps propagating evil?
Men not standing up proudly for love’s light and fighting for the right to have it.
THIS is why our world is spiraling down.”
Den of Equity
Its time to upgrade this “f***fest!”
Despair
Its interestimg that depending upon which emotions seize the reigns for the day, how life is viewed either positively, neutraly, or negatively.
Its Like Being Marked
Born first of three children from three sires, being the eldest and of the only absentee father with siblings’ gap distance of ten and fifteen years, the younger children got the ecperience of an attendant mother, engaged extended families, and a sense of being loved and wanted in their own marriages.
By The Wayside
Per usual, the need to survive pushes aside writing and music.
Regeneration
From death to light.
From dark to life.
The Queen’s Blessing
She loved us, and loved us dearly.
I Do Not Know
I do not know if we had even half of a chance to succeed with all of the weighted circumstances stacked against our family.
What determines who rises and falls?
“Should” we seek “perfection” to start from, in the hopes of having a good launch – when perfection, itself, is only temporary illusion?
Great Responsibility
Re-donning the mantle of healing is no trifling undertaking, yet suits my values’ bearing.
