Flying Free
(Ariana – Tony Anderson)
My Love’s Muse
I know we are both wrecked
And armor has layered thick
Yet we can unpack slowly
Or even cut straight into it
Dismantling past injuries
Chinks in mail adhered to
When had no other choices
But to adopt others’ retinue
We know the warriors creed
To never let down our guard
But you and I were born for more
Than bloody-battled fealty tartars
We can take the skills we’ve learned
Weave coloured paradise paradigms
For you, for me, and the world
To restore belief in love again
Oh say you want this with me
Let’s embrace this life’s gaety!
In daylight spiraling galaxies
At night tending our wounds

Lady Bird
Sweetest little sunshine baby
Lady Bird
Delicately ephemeral
Drawn to pure waters
Innocence revealed in
A moment given trust
(Only You – Orvak)
The Open Door
She felt too vulnerable, unsure if she’d heard him correctly.
Though daring to take huge leaps, she wasn’t sure where she’d be landing.
Dear Alex,
“What’s it going to take for me to be alright, again?
I hardly dare hope that I could become better than ever.”
(Unforgettable – Natalie Cole)
Dear Friend,
As last rays of daylight
Permeate the gloaming
I am reminded of you
With passion burning
Dear Alex,
“I am not sure just how I managed to do so, but I made it to the ball on time, dressed as the queen I am inside.”
What’s All This Buzz?
The humming of a system
Coiled tight ready to strike
Veinous pounding speed
Launching fight into flight
Ain’t no progress being made
On higher plane hopes tonight
Another day wasted
Apparently preparing
To counteract
More blight
And Then,
As she tries to move toward any office functionality, more financial losses are found to be accelerating.
Locking Down
Family having just returned, the dogs go off again like wild banshees for the umpteenth time.
She’s not going to go out there.
Because if she does, the rage at pain and sense of injustice regarding her own baseline security’s needs not being tended to will just blast a hole into their delicately repairing relationships.
Alex,
“I can’t seem to preserve any peace for myself, no matter how I work to regain it.”
If I Leave My Room
“Everything else will demand my attention – but the day’s worked-for calm has been shot to Hell, anyway.
Now I have to put my body into movement to try to ride out the cortisol.”
Pragmatic B.S.
“Well, at least this injury is new…
That’s good, right?
Evening out to more territory being f-ed up is positive, right?
More terrain taking on load damage surely means I’m healing – RIGHT?!!”
God, Why?
“I don’t even know what I did, but now my right shoulder blade is twisting-tight ginked.
Perhaps because I need to PUNCH something real HARD!
So fun being ‘wrecked’…”
Give It To Me
Just give me some actual peace
Where not only can I recover but
Then next emergencies just feck right OFF
Instead of causing adrenal muscle spasms!
Another Fight
“Past benefits taking current benefits, and I’m still in the hole – FECK!””
“Yearning For The Light”
(Eternity – David Tolk)
Embodiment
This is why the Goddess Herself
Had not married god nor mortal
For she had loved and lost
Bearing griefs of betrayal
But she did not become cynical
Although men have felt her Ire
No – instead she searched in scriptures
Heard in winds the Holy Ghost singing
Planted seeds for Trees of Tomorrow
Helping others find North in sorrow
She resigned her heart to solitary solace
Delighting in life’s colours and textures
Spun interwoven silk stories with spiders
Cajoled with Fates to ease human troubles
Only dreaming in innermost sanctum
Somehow a pure heart would awaken
Who’d be strong and wise enough to see
How the world was made for our eternity
And would love her as she would love He
While the Earth traveled peaceful galaxies
I Want
“Nothing less in relationship.”
Soul Bonding
“Not many men can say Forever – and mean it.”
(The Look Of Love – Dusty Springfield)
I love how the end just picks up again and keeps going off into the distance…(smiling, chuckling laughter in the dark)
Welcome Me In
For I shall pound upon the Gates of Hell
Until your soul imprisoned gains release
I will cast our doubt’s dust into nothing
Restoring love’s throne by Holy Flame
I’ll tear you assunder, baby
Until the pain fades away
Paths of healing revealed
Giving blood to our veins
The Taste Of Love
Her tragedies born of denial
Sharp teeth extend in desire
No greater high than a man
Wanting her for her tending
No greater love than the
Marriage of sky to earth
In The Gloom
“My bed is like a tomb.”
(The Beloved – A.R. Rahman)
Awaken, My Love, Awaken
Like Orpheus and Eurydice
Lovers entwined in tragedy
You and I have sung songs to
Awaken what was lost to death
Only this time, my love, my heart
Sings you back into human form
Undead, arise my beloved intended
Ever art thou of the noblest crowned
And though I look over – for I must
To ensure you are still pacing beside
You shall not fade to aggrieved destiny
Follow me, follow me, follow me home
To the mundane where love still roams
Come home, my life, my hope, my world
Be at peace, come rejoice and be heard
For ever art thou my deliverance’s boon
We shall trace our names upon Eden’s trees
As its blooms are restored by love’s eternity
And we shall not want no matter sacrifice
For we‘ll find our souls’ promises redeemed
Evening of 10/8/25?
“Clyde”
“Also for ‘col-lide’ – har har!”
Sweet Loves

The Beauty Of Tron Legacy
Clyde
“Like Bonnie and Clyde – but where the terrible demise ending happened first, and now we must partner for having fun.
Or maybe it’s just another big illusion – another ‘hitchhiker’ putting me under its gun.”
The Accident
“At this point, I think I should name it, for it is surely a dominant character in my life now – albeit muchly unwanted.”
Finally
The pain backed off…
What Makes A Man
“Think he has the right to string a woman along without any enduring benefits to her?
Oh, that’s right.
Because she cared enough to open her heart to him – and then he thought that he could just take her for granted.”

The Great Escape
Don’t think about it
Identify the objects
Put on clothes
Tie up the hair
Turn on plants’ light
Grab stuff and leave
Without diverting
To tend animals
Without pausing
For conversation
Hold body in tight
Ignoring the pain
Screaming as you
Grab basic pain pills
And shamble quickly to
Rehab’s transportation
Squinting and flinching
As light sears into brain
Back To “Norms”
She had to get her body back into more neutral realignment.
Across Distance
She had wondered if she ought to sway with him to match his energy – and then startled when he broke the pattern to preserve his focus because he’d felt and gotten distracted by their synergy.
Summoning
As if he had her mesmerized by his voice under deep hypnosis, he asked her, “How are you going to help me?” in return, quietly, “
Suddenly, deep muscles long bound in corkscrew tight complexity surged in a responsive spasm, instinctively attempting to break free to reach out and prove her abilities to aid him.
Provider
He took her hand in the dream world and guuded her mind toward new ways to help ease and untangle the pain.
Voices In Dreams
“I don’t know what you’re saying,” as she shifted groggily, trying to sleep.
“I’m still cold and my hip’s displaced,” indicating they’d just have to wait
A Lion’s Heart
One had wanted a certain girlfriend
While one was about to get married
The other one didn’t care who he f-ed
As long as the conquests were varied
A close one eventually betrayed her
While passing one just wasn’t there
And then one captured her affection
Unafraid to go deep and meet there
