Buried Treasure


These covers hide me
in my bed--
I dig for shelter,
bury my head,
biting into all
your "saids" unsaid.
These covers hide me
in my bed.

These covers claim me
through the night,
caress and cradle--
hold me tight,
stroke my heart--
it's taken flight.
These covers claim me
through the night.

These covers make me
so complete,
they smooth my sane
and trap your heat--
your soft familiar
wraps my feet.
These covers make me
so complete.

These covers with me,
pour into you,
I breathe your heartbeat.
I feel it move.
Hot, woven whispers
whet me through--
these covers with me,
uncovering you.

OK, y'all have been kind enough to "hear me out"& n stuff, so let me know whatcha think, if I've rattled yer cage, voiced a shared thought or concern, or if you're gonna attain Enlightenment upon reading these DEEP THOUGHTS, or if ya think I'm just plumb WACKO--but please be decent in your expression of your sentiments, there's no need to sling mud, unless we're in POTTERY CLASS or at the BEACH! Thanks for reading n stuff...Laters!

Shave

                                                                               I got a shave cut it all off. All of it. Done. So what? It's just hair.... They call me brave but I'm not, not really.... The one who is is the one who lives each and every day in pain, in knowing that she has one less day to spend with us here. Now, that's real. That's brave . Just so ya know.... The one who raised me just the way I am bold, free, unafraid of what you think or say, teaching me that I am more than the sum of my parts. I am more than the sum of these little stubbles of hair on my head Why do you look at me like that? Don't you see the glow around me as I channel her strength to me and become what she already is and more. She's seen, done, and made more than I'll ever be able to-- not that I'd try to duplicate or copycat her vibe, her style-- not by a mile! I have a bit of her in me, in here, inside, sure, no long

Inaugurally yours.... OK, I guess it's about time that I finally put myself out there in bloggsville; I mean, after all, just about everyone I know seems to have one--"everyone's doing it, so why not ME??" is the rationale I'm using at present. And for those of you who know me, you KNOW how opinionated I am, and much of what I think seems to draw either chuckles or gasps, or even eye-rolling. So, in the spirit of expressing my true self, here ya go..... Since it's the start of a new year, and a new regime, I keep the quote in my head, "Hope springs eternal." Now, I know that politically and socially, our current system seems to be broken; but hopefully, not irreparably so. That depends on the folks on which it rests--US. Yup, WE the PEOPLE....From the lowest levels of our individual households, to our neighborhood associations, to local city/township communities, to counties, to states, to regions, to the FEDERAL level--it all begins with US. What wi

OK, What exactly does "It is what it is" mean??!!!!

I mean, honestly, what the TWIZZZ does that really mean??!! Have you thought about it? HAVE YOU??? I hear it all the time, everywhere, in meetings, in hallways, on the radio or TV--my former boss used to say it all the time, became her novel catchphrase, just like "At the end of the day," or "Be that as it may," and then BAM!!!!!!! I start hearing it all over the place. Even to the point of my MOM telling me that her nephew had the greatest "zen" phrase that she wanted to share with me--guess what it was...c'mon, go ahead...."YES!!!! IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!!!" OK, I guess I'm venting a little, but every time I hear it, I take a moment to try to understand what this little, albeit ANNOYING, phrase means. So, humor me a little while I verbally muck around in the spirit of reaching for deep truth and meaning. Obviously I think it's trying to convey the thought that something can't be changed, no matter what, like it or not, (kinda like i
