My love for poetry will never fade, for the time I have on this earth is something to remember in all its changing stages...

Missing You
Ink Passions
My thoughts are embedded
Between the pores of ink droplets
Surfacing only when nib caresses paper
My ideas backstroke in this cylindrical container
Sometimes drowning in its fluidity
Other times s u r f a c i n g
Just so you can catch a glimpse
Of the depth of me
It is here that I scream in black and blue tones
Expressing sentiment only on thirsty parchment
Ready to absorb my passions
Sedated pages
Awaiting
The uncapping of my pen
And then…
The even flow of my mental convictions
Or the ramblings of my sublime illusions
Stirring lines to fill without end
As penmanship bleeds
Purging on book leaves
I am held prisoner in the rawness
Of poetry
For all eternity …My only escape is
This romance that stands against time
Between my pen and I
The desire that leaks when
Thoughts are cut and emotion bleeds
As verbs once held captive break free
Nouns plead
To lay upon waves of euphoria
Breaking on the shores of compound meanings
Carefully broken down
In non formatted verses...
I
Exist
Until the book closes

What people think
In you

Confused
How I wish I could stop saying the same old things, I wish you could be what I want you to be. Confused about everything. There is no way, no way...You could get me back now. Cause your too complicated. So things remain the same.

Blocked Wall
Giving In
Tension
All the passion turned to tension and all the fun turned to bickering and then he withdrew.
He went cold and got angry.
Suddenly, I realized I didn’t feel all that warmly towards him either.
He thought I was being controlling, and I thought he wasn’t cutting it.
We were both right.
Overfunctioning is doing too much.
It's doing more than your share, stepping in to help, stepping up to rescue.
It's offering before being asked, giving instead of giving back.
It's trying to manage your life and get things done by playing all the parts in the relationship -- both your part and his.
Overfunctioning is a deeply unsatisfying thing.
Trying to play your man's part in the relationship as well as yours (like I did) creates tension and conflict -- and even if you could succeed at it, you wouldn’t like the results.
If you turn your man into a puppet you can manipulate, you’re not going to like him very much.
You’ll have clean dishes and no garbage, and a Saturday night date at the restaurant and movie of your choice, but look -- your man will be a puppet!
Not much fun there.
So -- do you deserve a red-blooded, real, strong minded, secure, responsible, respectable, thoughtful, and caring man?
Or do you only deserve a shadow of yourself?
Can you allow yourself to be loved by a man who can really love?
Or can you only sign up with a man who makes it one-third the way to you and then expects you to pick up the slack?
By always picking up the slack -- and I know it always seems like what needs doing is urgent and important -- what you get by doing it all yourself is mostly your own feeling of resentment.
You don’t get the appreciation we all crave -- you get coldness, anger, and withdrawal.
It seems so unfair to put ourselves out, to be helpful, and then get what feels like a slap in the face.
And yet, what we’re really getting is the safe place (unpleasant as it is) of avoiding finding out what our men are really made of.
By always cutting to the chase and doing everything ourselves –- or directing how it’s done –- we put up a wall between ourselves and our men that keeps us from getting what we all say we really want: The Big Ticket Items –- Love, Affection, Romance, Trust, Harmony, Peace, the ability to Negotiate anything.
(And I mean anything.)
By always stepping in, we guarantee that our lives with our men will always be about the small stuff –- the nuts and bolts of life, and not the deep, soul-satisfying stuff that we come together in relationships and marriage to get. If what we want is soul connection, we have to stop Overfunctioning.
Since childhood, we've been labeled, taught, tricked, bribed and prodded, been threatened by all forms of authority, told what's true and what isn't, and disrespected for everything from our feelings to our thoughts.
Our relationships have been more about pleasing others than pleasing ourselves.
More about struggling and using our wits to get what we need and what we think we want than discovering what it is we really want.
Many of us don’t even really believe we deserve a great relationship.
Well, we do.
We all do.
And we don’t need to do anything to deserve it.
We just deserve it.
No earning required.
If we can stop doing so much and stop resenting doing so much, our relationship will get better instead of falling apart.
Try it.

Untouchable
But now you can not touch me, now you can not feel me, you left untouchable.....
Now you can search far and wide for something that isn't there. Believeing in something that was not attainable. Yes my artifcial happiness is where I remain. You kept trying to take me off my path, while I set you on yours. I can not have more than enough, what more I am I left to gain?
But now you can not touch me, now you can not feel me, you left untouchable.....
