Duet

 Written May 31, 2025



And he taunts me, 
fully haunts me,  

says what he wants me 

to spill
on a page
All my wisdom from age
Well, hard fought,
Conquered, won
Yet my life's just begun
Anew, focused.


Do,  do come in,
Water's fine,
How you been?
Share with me
What,  how,  where, when
You first felt it,
The pulse,
It's electric.
Felt,  started talking.


Since when
Do you offer
Safe shelter? To me?
Who even does that
these days?


I stop,  listen,  stare
At the text on the page
on my phone.
At my age
I damn well know better
Than bite at the morsel
You stage....

Yet I fall,
Falling still
Into the night's thrill
As my heart begins
Pouring out rage.
Rage of passion,
unbridled suppression
Submitting,
I linger, assuage
All my demons,  my hopes,
Inhibitions in front of
Anonymous stage.

And I sit, 
And I think,
Mind's gone blank,
Face gone pink
Pink with knowing,
Yet uncovering truth.
Truth so real,
It just guts me,
feels like a freight train
On wheels,

Ripping me wide,
Bare,  wide open,
Awaiting dreams only spoken
In hushed tones,
huskily,
All alone.

On I drone,  move along
To my Hope's deepest song
All the while
With a smile.


Turn the page.

At this age,  I am broken,
lost, scared, unfounded,
before, this, before you,
what is this?

Starting to feel,
to wake up
these parts of me, 
plunging far too deep
to be known again by man,
Yet I stand somehow,
head will not bow again.
healed, bound by devotion
To my angel,  my life,
My heart's core.

But want more,
I need more
Of an anchor,
To roam,  stretch, 
To savor and share
by the rays
of the sun.


What I bare of myself,
uncaged, releasing self
from all of the guilt
and the pain, 
letting shower fall
cleansing, like rain
as I lean against wall
once again

Raw,  true and kept
Pure from danger,
from strangers and 
All of Life's whims, 
churning, spins.

Lone survivor of
All of the crazy,
the Insane, yet bearing
The sad with a smile
And a tear for awhile
Longer.  Just a little longer.

For the juice is
Well worth the squeeze
Of me,  as long as I'm
True to me,
My heart's song 
will still come along,
harmonizing with
newfound Duet.


Hold me, please,
keep me close,
Soothsayer me, 
Love All of me,
what's not on display.
Battered and scarred,
wizened and strong, 
yet along the way,
Bid you stop.
Please. Just stay awhile
Longer, 

Today I found mirror
Of me. You really do see
What I am. 
And cradle me
Tight anyway.

Honey

  Written May 31, 2025, Rev. 6/2/2025 God am i  the stupid one,  I must be, just tell me. been living in dreams, for one, once again, Lord, instead of the present day blues.   Honest, I been doing all that I can for us,   living you (k)new to us,  warming up my voice thru us silly sing-time and dancing in MY new hoodie, once yours, in the kitchen. MINE! do ya like the view? I want to soak up all of you like a finely aged wine made more perfect with time. every quiver,  with every tremor,  every bead of  sweat,  i need the all of you,  lapping up the look of you,  sitting quiet, sitting pretty, purrrring away all softly, all comfy-like, and peaceful. nestled right into your lap. That's my place now. undefiant, unafraid. protected while petted. What you said at the start Own my heart Own my own soul Feels it,  it knows what you taste and you smell like.  Knows w hat you want,  what I need yes, indeed. Still I ...

Starstruck

 Written May 31, 2025 Why,  hello,  how are you? Are you just passing thru Wandering in Right this way Step right up.... Won't you? Take a seat Take your time Get (un)settled Unconfine Yourself fully Unwind Leave behind on my skin The hot breath of your day Exhale, breathe Find your way here Safe with me. Never fear Intertwining legs Under covers At dusk. Under the Peeking out stars Found us. Not yet Lovers. But yet Something. More. Tech yanked us together. Clicking quickly. Completely Magnetic. Fireflies glowing Anew Watery eyes shyly showing The words I dare not, Cannot say Yet But I feel it That buzz, warming, Knowing Your candle burns there Lighting Darkened paths From afar. Feeling out loud I'm not cocky, Nor proud Pouring, bleeding All of me Onto your page. Cradle,  cuddle My heart closer Befuddled mind Giggles softly May I nuzzle That bristle of chin At this stage? Cuz these soft fuzzy socks That I wear, I'm still cold Still afraid. Not nearly enough To feel w...

Walking in the Rain

Take a long walk in the pouring rain, let your hair spill freely down your back and smell all life that's flowing in your veins awaken in the storming sky's attack. Hold out your hands for those tiny kisses to lick and cool the heartache--and you smile, splashing past the windshield-wipered masses stuck in traffic--makes it all worthwhile. Look between the clouds as sunlight rainbows sparkling color in each falling drop. Amid new puddles children freely frolick, until their mothers scream for them to stop. Close your eyes and let the chilled breeze blush you-- just catch the taste of wet sky on your tongue. no matter if your clothes are soaked right through, they'll dry out as you walk back in the sun.
