Too Bright
A lady perched at the bar
red purse, red dress, red car
“No” she said
To each turned head
I’m an incognito star
Rainbow
From your closet door emerged
Colors of our youth now purged
Into sexual connotations urged
Innocence lost.
Who you are behind your door
Bare-skinned world you implore
Publicly you must explore
At what cost?
In their faces, bewildered youth
God’s creation, altered truth
Implications attached uncouth
Innocence lost
Close your house your room your door
March the public streets no more
Hide yourself, your face, your core
At what cost?
To love all, these colors show
Kindness bound our children grow
Led by youth, world in tow
Probity found.
Our colors never again tainted
Arched across the sky, God painted
One with Him acquainted
Eternity bound.
Poe
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,"
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
Eternity
I've never touched the man who holds my heart.
Embraced by his words, he touches my soul.
I'm forever held, eternally loved.
December
Southern December, a fraud, at best
Jones traditions, keeping up with the rest
Chirping birds galavanting nest to nest
No snow, no cold, not even a sweater
Tans aplenty, enjoying bikini weather
Overdressed, pretend, birds of a feather

Love: redefined you
In our balanced world of Yen and Yang, nothing can be truly experienced without an opposition. The challenge, learning the counterparts.
To understand life, you must have experienced death.
No, the true meaning of life will not be clear before you can look back on its entirety.
Knowing what is false guides us to truth. Assumptions make you the fool.
The value of good is learned from being imperfect, your ill wills, your mistakes.
Love, however, is an ever-changing commodity.
It can be torn and tested, molded and altered.
When spoken, it can evoke war or bring peace.
Consummate love is only known from loss.
Possessive defeat or deprivation will not complete you only the demise of defined self.
Your identity now altered from encountering another.
The id you once knew will never return.
The other became part of you.
8 times over
I hope to be wrong
To be so, brings sorrow headlong
Up is down, black is white
Belief over fact, this is not right
In the maze of a lab rat with no end in sight
Kept in the dark when we have to have light
Loud speakers of lies hiding the science
Choosing to fear over defiance
Told to sign off, it was for the best
This choice, science says, may harm the rest
Scared and afraid, I will get the call
Slipping as fruit from trees, a windfall
Save my family, one and all
In is now out, short is now tall
Please no, I am not that strong
I pray to be wrong
The soul never dies.
You can remember. You have returned home.
All your affiliates await. Adjust in good time.
How well did you do? Was it all you had hoped?
We saw you had challenges? We all played our roles.
Yes, one did well. Still one has much to face.
Successes and failures. One will remain.
Very happy to be back. Thank you all.
I still have much to learn. Maybe brighter next life.
Who goes back next? Have you chosen a life?
What will your trials be? Will I have a part?
In time, young soul. Recollections await you.
Reexamine all your pasts. Enlightenment lies in the distance.
Wedded Bliss
Rear stage right
The cue has arrived
Audience awaits
The show must go on...
And it did.
Every sign said don't
There were so many
No one pushed
It was always a choice...
And it was.
It wasn't for me
He wasn't for me
Never unfaithful
You committed to try...
And I did.
There are the babes
That stop the regret
Blessings aplenty
Promised unconditional love...
And I do.
New here
Jack of all trades, master of none so I'm writing about them.
My circle of life has been blessed having known great greats and great grands.
This summer a new set will be crowned when my daughter becomes a mother.
Prayers are plentiful in this tumultuous age of misinformation and unsurety.
Hope bleeds from our hearts knowing the challenges before this gift.
Yet, we are thankful.
