I know that I red this one before...
and was moved by it.

Not sure why I chose tonight to respond to it... and then rather lamely.

I see the gown, the purple, the butterflies.
I think of an image of myself that I've long since forgot.

(No, I've never worn a purple gown... or any gown at all... just to clear.)

I just like it... your write.
Never the right words though...

Write it then... I'll be your muse.
Be gentle though...

Seems to me that it says more about them than it does you.
Whether or not you're the "right" one or not... idk.

Regardless, if you're not the right one for them doesn't mean anything about you.

I've picked up a hundred books that I never finished...
I never thought that the author wasn't "right" and I never thought the author would think the same of me.

~ last night

last night
i cried
myself
to sleep

last night
i removed my gown
it pooled on the floor
the butterflies
trapped within
the purple

last night
i had a dream
in the dream
i saw the face
i had
before i was born

last night
i cried
myself
to sleep

Simply awesome...

No.

Either they want to let you in... or they don't.
How could I help you understand something that you already know?

(wrote this as a challenge, was given 7 minutes to complete and post it. i know it needs work, but hey, i’m posting with over a minute to spare. :banana: )


there’s a poison in you,
in us;
even if you always do taste
like cough drops.

it’s much easier for
punch-drunk lovers
and one night
pass me bys;
harder still,
for people like us.

the addicted ones.

i can’t be easy to love
i know this,

but your body warms me like
summer thunder
and mine comforts you like
a tourniquet.
(love/storm)
throbbing lightning
in a bottle.

go ahead
leave
before i do.
go ahead
scream,
loud,
in a voice only
ex-lovers can
understand.

i’ll find you tomorrow
where music and
silence meet.
where we will kiss
hard
and with a thunderous
passion
of colliding Gods
falling to earth

and we’ll laugh
loud,
as we read this note.
knowing that
in these words,
here,
we will find nothing
more
than the dried chips
of ink
falling from
the wrinkled pages
of yesterday.

That's pretty good fer 6 minutes time...

It's so internet-savvy.

After 51 years, I doubt that I could do better.

Haven't we Met

Big ole moon
in the clear lit sky
staring back at me
in full clarity.

Yes, we've been here before
swimming alone
devoid of touch

We haven't changed
old souls
familiar.
Dismissing what was
rejecting what might have been.

A realist, this austere globe
suspended
reflecting in these pools.

Making love fully clothed
naked denial
Jasmine whispers, sultry
brushing against my parch.

I oblige.
Black aubergine drapes
vast is his dark silence.

I remember, now.
I remember.

Very nice...flowerforyou
I call it "her" though.

I remember too...

I guess that I hear what you're sayin'... but I need to disagree a bit.
A white that calls a black guy, "painted"... is an A-hole.
Slow-minded and misguided,
It doesn't depict much more than that to me.

If you see more in it... I won't argue.
Mebbe you have your reasons?
But I don't.

Yeah, diggin' in, me. Dwelling, always.
No sweetheart... we are not allowed this... we simply choose it.

Beautiful write.. thank you sharing that experience.flowerforyou

Teditis... John Denver is an artist after my own heart.. this song made me cry in its beauty and meaning... not that it would have taken much with this blasted mood I'm in.. lol... I know tomorrow will be a brighter day... and I could swear that was a Perigee moon too, there towards the end of the song... thank you so much for this offering, and your warm words of support.. flowerforyou:heart:flowerforyou

JD is often overlooked in his understanding of life and the world around us... that's my opinion.
But, yeah, go where life pulls you... be it the moon or something other.
And when life shakes you to the core... love the moment.
I pray that you'll have others to share that moment with.

Do me a favor though... don't tell anybody that I Like JD so much... that I have a 6-albulm set. They may think I have have no "swag" and talk poorly of me, haha.

I'm not a big fan of tatts but whatever makes the individual happy.

The only thing I would stay away from is a tatted face. Lol.

Damm... I was just thinking that might help me some.
Nothing else seems to work.

No offense but, this is what I got from my ex lol. Help! lol
Of course I'm not saying I've never lied. Is that even possible?
I'm saying, that your partner is not the person to lie to.
But if you do...go back and tell the truth.
Question for you:
How do you know the core being of your partner if they lied about their core? You can only see into someone so much...the rest?.. they have to tell you. If it's a freaking lie, who do you know? That person? Or their lies?

Well now, I disagree with the premise that you can't know a person's core being.
The quintessential mistake being that we don't often take the time to learn it before we move into action... like getting married od even falling in love.
Yeah, yeah, they tell you this and that. I do the same... I'm no different in that respect.
But if you rely on what others tell you... to the point that you disregard your own observations, your own intuition?
Did you bother to look deeply?

Listen... I don't wanna judge you or anyone, but your life is your own. Trust whoever you want to trust... and don't whoever you don't.

I'm just saying that none of us are free from the expectation that you infer... we all lie.

But if you start with that premise... you lie, Teditis lies, the next dude in your life is going to lie... that will be a bit more realistic, no?

As to their "core-being"... acknowledge that you're smitten by emotion... (That's a very lovely time.),then pull back a little and do the hard work of seeing if behavior matches what they profess. And if what they profess and what you're looking for is a good match.
But if you get lazy and don't look... hey, that's on you. (imho)

But to assume that your expectations are all are running the same course... seems presupmtuous. There's too much diversity these days.
What you call lying... others call a "means to an end(goal).

So it ain't lying until you state your expectations... and quit assuming theirs.

But if you have no definitions as to your own expectations... you're going to flounder. Be cork on the ocean.

We're all liars, Moutainwatergirl... the trick is to lie less, and ask your partner if the're willing to do the same.
If you're afraid to ask... stay single.


After all I've said just today... do you think I bothered to look into it deeply? My intuition was on overdrive.
No, I don't buy in to the everybody lies stock.
That's not the point.

It's how it's dealt with, why they are lying, and the fact that no one should lie about everything all the time.

When you catch a guy lying to you about something huge about himself in the first two weeks, and you talk to him about it??

I told my ex everything I've said here about my expectations regarding being a good person...he knew what I expected after that...if he couldn't do that? Then it's on him and he should bail if he doesn't think he can get truly intimate with me. He didn't bail, he lied AGAIN about lying lol Then, he lied to me about everything he didn't want me to know for the next 3 years. That's not cool in my book. So, he was told to hit the road

Well said... I'll beg-off now, I seem to be missing your point... sorry for that.
Also sorry that you experienced such pain... wish for you better days.

I am too unique.
The cops keep telling me that the fingerprints match only me ...err... Never mind. :angel:


"The error rate for 39 fingerprint samples used was previously defined as approximately ±1.1% and deemed small enough to be of little consequence especially since conservative and/or lower bound values for ridge formation quantitative weights were applied throughout the model. However, pending peer review the author allows for the possibility that these values may not be sufficiently precise and therefore remains open to the possibility for a frequency of occurrence study with a larger fingerprint sample size and possible refinement of various values and formulae."

My comment was on the piece itself, by no means directed elsewhere.

Never apologize for words from within... no matter where your thoughts may be dwelling :wink: laugh

TY... haha.
But just to be clear.... my thoughts are are dwelling on a friendship that I hope to grow.
That part, I may have confused with the "piece" itself...
Your clarity reminded me of what we're here for.

You folks write... I offer comments of me or whatever.
I want it to remain so.

Most all of you have my respect in crafting your magics...
TB just happens to rock my thinking... kindred souls perhaps.
