Nervous Beginnings

Will our inhibitions keep us stuck in a rut?
What right do they have to mess with us?

Is this what it means by leaping in faith?
But what if we’re frozen stiff at the gate?

How do we propel ourselves into momentum?
Does speaking in code assure of same intentions?

I know desire to kiss you coaxes temptation
But is your approval implied by arrival’s attestation?

If reached out my hand, would you offer yours, too?
If counted one to three, would we crash into

Each other, bonk heads, then laugh all jittery?
I’d like to be smooth, yet awkward is temporary

More Masking

“I have some ‘neck folds’ and ‘jowel’ contours that I keep working on to retrain fascial strengthening and smoothing due to the anterior portion of my neck injuries.

But trends in society like to say that this is how I should look for ‘my age’ – and if I didn’t have them, they would likely project jealousy!”

Migraine Madness

I think I must shut down this entire need
This cycle of longing driving into frenzy

It is the situation – the abandonment cycle
Had I known, I would not have fallen into it

But I thought that it was an open invitation
That it was genuine honesty – for once given

Not another bait / switch retract scenario
Designed to send me into another tailspin
