“What got into my eye?”
Pair Bonding
It is important to know
Where weak points exist
To focus on collaboration
For ensuring strengthening
The Bar
She did not really understand
Her mother’s love expression
Why wouldn’t she be supportive
Of the fiance making her happy?
How could she feel justified
Dismissing him offhandedly?
She claimed it was because
He was too young essentially
Sometimes the daughter thought
The root cause as type of jealousy
One thing for sure had been true
The younger man had weakened
Limited in navigation experience
He caved in to societal pounding
Which ultimately such pressures
Had him choose to break promise
Nurture Vs. Trauma
She could not handle monsters
For they enjoyed terrifying her
But when her child began seeing
Strangely-shaped night creatures
She asked her child’s perception
And learned these were friendly
So she encouraged explorations
Psychologically through artwork
Believing that healthy development
Bloomed exploring the subconscious
Whereas her own experience twisted
Because men had imprinted violence
Toppled
Her mother had been laughing
Haughtily scathingly righteous
To learn that her rejection had
Crushed her daughter’s suitor
I swear, sometimes it’s needed
That ego gets a hard checking
When it comes to protecting
The sacred bond of couples
Masks

Safety In Numbers
“She disliked it when mated males showed interest, and when unmated males came near her.
They didn’t share her vision.”
Fables & Fallacies
Dreams made fun of in reality
By those too blind to visualize
Still dwell inside every heartbeat
Now frightened to be illuminated
I wonder about truth between us
Are there things that I should hide?
Society cautions against transparency
For upon lies it still retains supremacy

Face Downward
Suspended by pillows
Seeking sleep’s release
Good Intentions
I stand out in a crowd
Erect posture walking
Sticks a-swing-claiming
Paths around swearving
Browsing shoppers
Gently sleepwalking
Eternally
How is love timeless
Like waves in the sea?
Like the heavens’ expanse
Stretching off into eternity?
What brings two souls together
Uniting to form perfect symmetry?

How Does One Know?
When a soul has been alone a long time
Questions underlying everything surface
It is no longer enough to merely connect
How do they know that they are wanted?
And what secures their partner will stay
When one did all they could, previously
To no effect in retaining the intended
Rendering enamored a fool believing

However, as their initial overgrowth cycle dwindles, my herbs are regrowing and taking over again – having been sheltered and nourished potentially by the ‘weed’ rhizomes!”
(Start A Fire – Above & Beyond, Richard Bedford)
On The Hunt
“Prey had been scarce lately, but she caught whiff of a strong trail – and set off padding soft-but-swiftly after it.”
