Slept Over

Where the children can meet, where we can meet and where the children will meet.
The first computing of other's parents and trusting when your choices became the best outcomes you could ever pass on as other choices to yours. Choices of the blood and the choice to accept other parents as an extension of choice.

Oh, New Year

Oh, New Year

There you go again

Sneaking up on me, surprising me

Making me feel hope 

and possibility (if only for a little while) 

Like an ex-lover 

Bumped into

At the coffee shop 

“What are the chances?”

With awkward hellos

Becoming shy smiles

And a touch of the arm 

And soon enough

I hear myself saying

“Maybe we should give it another shot

This time it could be great, right?”

We Agreed By Phone To Wear New Skirts

There were permutations of red peppers on the buffet,
Elbows in doorways, dutiful listings of children's public activities,
Many topics skirted, some people on chatter track, others blank,
circling, chewing salami for the spit of casing, the spirit of casting off,
gutsy girl, ignore the old teacher, have a Ford, have a Fairlane, wear a Fair Isle,
hold up your farewells while you hitch up the bra strap, laugh like a brass cup
clatters, tossed back at the storm door.

ahhhhh

Un Amor / Dos Corazones

(A Revised Dedication:
For anonymous you #330...

how I wish I could proclaim your name
and my love for you
like I did once...
a deluded shout from the rooftops

Today my eyes are wide open
and I decide that you do not deserve
to have a macho badge of  twisted honor
in my hurt 

Queens get to tell jokers to get lost... but you already are Babe, 
which is the most tragic part of all and if the emotional abuse 
of your stone silence did not break my heart, 
the thought of you being lost and unhappy does
que pena

So here is the poem as it was originally written, when I believed that you loved me 
before I learned all the jelly fish lies 
you lacked the courage to admit...

How beautiful and amazing that I loved like this...that I love like this...yes I loved and dreamed and I trusted, that I loved so deeply and completely... and will again...someone special who truly deserves it...
a mi misma y alguien quien lo merece)

Sing me a lullaby lover man
you are my sun
on winter nights
your breath moon dust
on moon waves

You whisper life to me
in the twilight

Baby, your songs keep me warm
all night long
nights I long for and remember
when you're far away from me

Your laughter in the morning
is the song I wanna hear
and your kisses are the kisses I wanna feel
fill me up / silky satin / your lips
                                                        the sweetest gift

Your hands on my bronze skin
hold me close in the sexiest embrace
                                                         like that

your breath on my face is earth beneath my feet,
ancient and known / anchor me      i know you like you know me
hold me

Your talk is poetry to my soul
to be heard, to listen, to be listened to, to understand
to be understood, to know, to be known
it makes me stronger
braver                                             thank you 
                                                       i love you
Your love
mixed with my love
in a cocktail of delight
in tropical moonlight breezes

Dos corazones                               unidos
un amor

Two hearts
one love

Yes, time passes
and

Love endures.

lowlevel

The sky is low
and I'll stay together
a life of paperwork
and sitting in moving cabins
begin again
shift your weight
sharpen your eyes
on that coast getting
closer

fear not by: mvp-most valuable poet

fear is an unpleasant emotion

that strikes terror to your heart

causing you to panic

when you panic

you crack

the walls will crash down on you

fear not gives the salvation in asking God for forgiveness when one messes up

fear not is the power of God that rests inside of all of us 

when you do things backwards that is contrary to God's decrees

His covenant remains fruitfully truthful

yet as human beings, we follow the flesh

that is constantly changing, and contradicting thoughts only the way the devil works

satan wants to remind you the emotions of shame For all the wrongs you have done in your life

God asks you 

why are you down? get back up

you are down , but not out, GET UP!

supress the oppress of defeat through self control

God gave us power of him to be self-reliant

self-determination to rise above the hate

and fear not Inserts a sound mind through faith 

for there is joy the next morning

fear not

and there is salvation

God blesses all of us with God giving talents

its need to stir it up in order to cook up relentless meals that win souls

in a world that is full of lost souls

the world have nothing for me

for i follow the you lord jesus

the demonic people that engrave evil in their hearts may destroy my body

but never my soul

fear not is the reason my heart continues to keep beating

when there is fear

the sufferage of pain penetrates thoughts that confuse your true self

in infusing doubt that you're worthless

fear not

injects life to your soul

it reminds all of us that god is still with you because he loves you

God will give the courage to withstand any form of fearful beliefs that you won't overcome

fear is an emotion

cowardice is a decision

when there is fear , you run like a coward

fear not keeps ya head up, and hoists you from the bury

there was no fear that Jesus came back

He died for all of us, and three days later, he rose through the powerful words of the gospel

He didn't have fear

so why should we?
