What would we say to each other
If no longer labored in disruption?
How would we treat each other if
Acknowledged sisters / brothers?
Love’s Reforesting
(In Your Arms – ARTBAT)
Birds Of A Feather (Dear Friend,)
I see you ever-awakening
When falling back get up
I see you ever-evolving
Finding after losing self
Over and over I witness
Refashioning reclaiming
My past loves’ glimpses
Always fell asleep again
Resenting as resisting my
Pleading then demanding
For their remembering
To my detriment’s ends
It feels like succumbing to
Getting pulled into Maw’s
Relentless tractor beams’
Only recourse after death
Losing who I was before
And always wanted to be
Will you remember me if
We get swallowed whole?
Would you reach for me
However far I would go?
Dive in after me so deep
We’d reemerge elsewhere
Maybe not as who we were
But able to become more?
Would you remember
So that I could forget
As share eased vigilance’s
Soothing by salted sweat?
I need to give up this fight
Yet afraid I’ll lose identity
Negative reinforcements
Need program rootkitting
Inability to trust the process
Creates a faze-like madness
Would you be the one
I could ever rely upon
Just as I would provide for
Your needs in any weather?
Could we own and redefine
What it means to be together?

Of Significance
“As I drove home last night, the streets were mostly empty, and downtown felt wide open and welcoming.
I thought to myself, ‘What makes a town feel like home to me?’ – for where I live surely has many of these qualifications.
Then I dreamed I was in a place like Portland, and having walked into a bar/restaurant, realized that the drunk and grungy, street-hardened group hanging out there was not my kind of energy.
I left and soon found myself in a health-type grocery store checking out the discounted items of herbal samples and lotions.
I remembered that I used to like making simple leaf and flower combinations, and that I also enjoyed the feel of nourishing creams soaking into my skin with enlivening smells of subtle flower petal additions, such as earthy calendula.
When I happened to look down at the floor, I noticed that very small and polished natural stones had been accidentally dropped here and there, and began following the broken trail as I collected them.
I was often bending over at their level and thus caught the eyes of passing children – who also began collecting as we shared a secret exchange of momentary glee in our separate hunts for pretty gemlings.
A wall disappeared, revealing an open, bright-lit river bank along the store’s entrance where booths had recently been taken down from a community art show event.
As I approached one spot, I noticed that a previous crystal booth’s vendors had left a spread out swath of flat, polished stones of agate, bloodstone, and more types on the ground, and so I sat down on them, feeling their warm heat from having absorbed the sun’s rays radiating into me.
Completely drawing inward, I lifted some strands of my hair that were dangling forward and examined their colors refracting in light, above and in contrast to the sparkling stones below, as I breathed in the smell of green grass and sweet riparian foliage ambiance replenishing my vitaliry.
People passed by, but left me alone, as I basked in my own being’s return to simple innocence and wonder.”
(Back Through You – Sultan Shepard)
Half-Life
We’re divided into pieces
Driven or not by purpose
Half of my life ought to be
For myself and my partner
Whereas much of the rest
To family, friends, society
And portions yet to come in
Exploring good experiences
Affection
Love’s currency
So Let’s Play
I wanna roll the numbers
I wanna feel my stars align again
Won’t you pay for your arrogance?
Won’t you show me your weakness?
Tangled with what I never said
I wanna be forgiven

Dancing Forever
It’s complicated
Yet also simple
About timing
And rhythms
Giving
Taking
Risking
Claiming
Reaching for
Identifying
When caution
Is retracting
Pushing past
Barriers yet
Respecting
Fragilities
Protecting
As guiding
Leading as
Following
Gliding
Colliding
Momentum
And slowing
Casting off
As growing
What’s known
New learning
Intertwining
For owning

Regulating Influences
In good partnership, extremes in life
Can by modulated by love’s comfort
Discussing, strategizing, supporting
Ultimately falling asleep in safe arms
