A Poem: Soul Sisters

You have to know both heaven and hell

to know what to wish when throwing your penny in the well. 

It’s important to be acquainted with both sides

it will definitely help you to make the most of the ride

avoiding the empty holes and knowing when to glide. 

I do know now there are just a few in which I can confide

As of late I’ve called them soul sisters, you bet they’re bonafide. 

We, together, know whne its safe to no longer hide

You see, when you are of this special clan 

you’ll never have to worry – You’ll always have a helping hand

they are the handful that really understand

Amongst us we share our dreams and love freely

we give all we have completely. 

We love to dance and just let go

and to witness such is quite a show. 

Of women being free to be who they choose

because there’s so much more to win that to lose. 

Let’s enjoy and laugh and share great moments

Remember when in Rome, do as the Romans. 

We create our own world, full of beauty and honesty

a place that is safe for each of us to be

together we will be ourselves, natural and free!

A Poem: Sit and Think and Drink My Tea

I’m not looking for any responsibility

I’d rather find an inviting shade tree

where I can sit and think and sip my tea. 

My life is full of absurd Calamities

that drive me to think of pure insanity. 

A part of me is trying to shake my vanity 

yet I still feel happy when I doll myself pretty.

Maybe this makes me incredibly needy

One thing’s for sure, I’ll love you if you feed me. 

Feed me any way you can

by sharing your thoughts or whats in the pan. 

I like to think, I like to learn,

I like to wonder how the world turns.

A Poem: Not Good At Being Alone

I’m never good at being alone

I’m soft and pink and not made of stone

I’m very blessed that love is who I am

I’ll show it in my ways – I’ll even hold your hand

I’m not really looking for any major commitment

but I do like to create my own little playland

with the one I choose to be my special man. 

I’ll be real good until I’m done

we’ll laugh and kiss, it’ll be super fun

I’ll make you feel like you’re the only one

we’ll be drunk in love like we’ve been sippin’ rum

we’ll share the sheets, we’ll pillow talk some

we’ll sweat hot and heavy and surely we’ll come

I’ll be open and honest – I’ll hold nothing back

I’ll share everything I carry around in my backpack

my admiration, my inspiration, my open embraces

the energy we create will be seen on our faces. 

you’ll be my everything, but you must beware

I’ll try my best to handle you with care. 

I’m not good at intimate relationships

but I’ll roll the dice and raise the chips. 

They say its better to have loved and lost 

than to never have loved at all

Please remember this during the inevitable fall. 

I’ll still think highly of you as I’m leaving the room

and chances are I’ll continue until I’m in my tomb. 

So lets just share our time together while we can

enjoy the moments while we both still stand. 

I’d like to think you’ll be better off having experienced this bliss

maybe that’s bold, but it all starts with one sweet kiss

an opportunity that is so hard to resist. 

I’ll bask in your affection – You’ll get an erection

we’ll travel down an uncharted path without any direction.

A Poem: A Love Gone By

There are days that I think I’m over you

where you enter my mind just a time or two

then all of a sudden I’m hit real blue

I wish I knew what to say but I haven’t a clue. 

I miss you – I have since I left two full years ago. 

I’m trying my best to catch my own wave at my own flow. 

I’ve grown a lot since the days in my youth

you were always so much wiser and could see the truth. 

I wasn’t there yet so I pushed us both away

I did stupid things nearly every single day 

that didn’t help out in our endeavor

I look back now and can’t believe I ever

acted foolishly like a baboon

with a drink in my hand working the room. 

I was so out of touch – no wonder I couldn’t see you

in your honest and gentle ways that only you knew. 

I wish I’d have known then what I have learned up to now

I’d like to think we’d still be together folding towels. 

It seems silly that I haven’t really moved on

I’ve kept up the charade but I’m not foolin’ a one.

You said we’re like a bad Jack Johnson song

I’m sorry I’ve been so utterly wrong. 

I’ve often questioned how to teach someone who just doesn’t know, 

I still don’t know the answer other than to take it slow. 

You have patience unlike anyone I’ve ever met

and you are still the coolest person I’ve run into yet. 

So how do I recover from all of my mistakes?

I’m shedding my masks now leaving no room to hide nor fake. 

Would you want to know me as I am today?

Would you care what I think or have to say?

Have you written me off or do you remember me on a rainy day?

I love you still – You are a part of me

it’s because of you that I can finally see.

Looking up Love in the Dictionary

Love. I looked this up in the dictionary yesterday in a grey moment… I see it is up on my dashboard still… why I ask myself now, why? to find someone else’s version of how they can describe an emotion? silly. How can one accurately describe such a feeling anyway? How can we even assume that it is the same from one person to the next? It isn’t, it is totally and completely individual. What I feel when I think of love is different from situation to situation, let alone if I truly try to compare that to another person’s idea of what it means to them. It is like trying to describe a color. The other person will have their own perception of what that color means… we all see things and feel things in a different way, maybe in the same stream, but never exactly the same. So instead of looking up the dictionary version of an emotion that I hold to be confusing, beautiful and crazy, I am just going to feel it out myself and attach the meanings and value that I put onto it… whatever that fuzziness really is.

A Poem: Thank you for the Safe Place

I meant it when I said

I must’ve done something right

because I’m here with you tonight. 

I must’ve been meant to be here

exploring and being free of fear

to be myself in my true form

without any pressure to conform

you took me in like I was one of you

you loved me, hugged me and fed me too. 

You gave me a safe place

and you took me into space

with thoughts and ideas

using wit and taste. 

I could say what I felt

as radical and unconventional as I can be

but you know what I was talkin’ ’bout and let me be free

no arguing, no fighting – even no compromising. 

I haven’t felt like this in so long its inspiring. 

The laughter was healing

and I’m left with this feeling

that I’m really not alone

and I’m getting back into the zone. 

it’s great to be around people like you

you’re one in a million

of the brave souls that are true. 

Thank you for everything

I mean that in the truest sense

I know I can count on you

my new like-minded friends.

A Poem: A Big Exhale

Ahh… a big exhale

as I scribe on my page

backwards and left

releasing the rage. 

 

The gates are open

in fact – they’re broken

its all coming out

with fury while soakin’ 

and drenching my soul

with love and honesty

as brutal as its been

its just about to begin

the healing I need

to be whole once again. 

 

Ahh… a big exhale

as I write my own page

for my own story

outside of the cage. 

 

It feels great to be

on my way to be me

funky and true 

and finally free.

A Poem: Just Friends – My Anthem

I really like your smile

I really like your way

I’ll give you my attention

but I still have to say…

 

I just want to be friends

to learn and grow together

I just want to be friends

for now and probably forever.

 

I may push the limits during the day

I may expose too much, but i think its okay

I get real comfortable right off the bat

but it doesn’t mean I want to hit the sack.

 

I dig your energy

it seems to fuel mine

I’ll give you a touch

but I promise you there’ll be no such…

 

Well I sure like our time

thank you for sharing it with mine

please see beyond this rhyme

and lets keep being kind

to one another as we walk down the line.

 

I’d like to keep building

on the blocks we’ve started from

its up to us-

look how far we’ve come.

 

I just want to be friends

to learn and grow together

I just want to be friends

for now and probably forever.

A Poem: Can I Lay Here?

Do you mind if I lay here?

here in my bed

its a comfortable place

to be in my head.

 

I promise you can stay a while

we don’t have to talk

just give me a smile.

 

An unspoken language

that we’ll create on our own

it’ll be fit for me and you

uniquely fashioned in our tone.

 

We’ll revel in our delights

never worry – we won’t fight

just promise me

we’ll keep on the light.

 

I’m afraid of the dark

I’m afraid that it’s true

I’ve always been

it makes me blue.

 

So hang out here next to me

we’ll sprout our roots

just like a tree.

 

Hold my hand and come in close

I’ve got nothing to hide nor to boast.

We’ll sit in silence – you and me

painting our world that’s totally free.
