| hunger lost now forced
Posted: 1/4/2007 6:32:18 PM | thank you tim
i know that
you know
and how weird
and messed up
it feels falling
into this abyss
i simply just
lost my appetite
but with help
tuesday last
i had not too
many options
save to force
myself to eat
still feeling
weak but so very
much better
i'm lucky and
blessed to have
people in my
life that care
enough to
understand or
try to when
they don't
drugs nor drink
not even sex
does it for me
for those things
seem to help
a different kind
of lonely and
that kind isn't
of or from me
perhaps i'm in
denial and really
have no clue
but i won't buy
or eat that either
stubborn i am yes
that much is true
complex this is
it makes no sense
why not hunger to eat
just cause i'm sad
weak is weak is weak
when it comes to me
so strong and confidant
in so many other ways
it feels so wrong
so yeah now again
i'm eating for
tomorrow to be a
better day
i can just imagine
all those reading this
thinking how messed up
or laughing even
glad i cannot see their
faces cause i really
don't want to hear see
nor feel their disdain
for being so much better
than me just being me
but there are as well
many people who are
sweet easy with me
and souls like that
to me are gold
angels in human forms
for which i'm
most grateful for
people like yourself
so thank you
for being you
accepting me
being me | |

Posted: 1/4/2007 6:36:53 PM | trying this again
i find the irony
in awakening
to realizations
that you feel too
but maybe just maybe
tomorrow the hummingbird
will flap her wings
the owl will hoot again
and the dogs will not
just bark but jump
with glee all for you
never say never
stranger things have
happened you know
thank you for leaving
your lines herein
provoking they are
evoking they are
and that you are
therefore as well

Posted: 1/4/2007 6:44:12 PM | the most important thing is knowing that you are not alone
as a man it is not easy to admit my anorexia, my bulimia...
sounds gross to all who look in...
but it doesn't mean, you are ever alone...
just take it one bite at a time...
when hearts break...
it is hard to remember to eat food given from god
Just because I don't want to be fat
I've been there, now I need love too much
to gorge, binge, and purge....
laugh if you will.... I know the euphoric high
when I puke!
serious stuff, when my insides die and release
just know.... you are not alone...
I been in recovery for 20 years
does that mean I don't hurt
no
it just means that I have tools
a learning box if you will
I will loan you any tool you need
okay!

Posted: 1/4/2007 8:33:11 PM | tenz, thank you brave one, for sharing herein~ i am learning albeit falteringly sometimes and now throwing the broken tools out from my toolbox and keeping those that feel right and work best for me, thank you sincerely for being so dear and for understanding as i know you do.
growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
he that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
in the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. all we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth.
love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.
our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. we are collaborators in creation.
someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
the most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.
the world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
we are one, after all, you and i. together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.

all so ringing and true
deep in my soul that feeling
reeling with euphoric doubts
bouts of indecisions
warmed with optomism
smiling into the light
feels so very right
lighter than feathers
more subtle than weather
natural delights

Posted: 1/5/2007 8:21:18 AM | softedge, intenzity with words so strong
helping the rest of us realize
how not alone we truely are
in this world of turmoil and doubt
in this place of pain inside out
my struggles are much the same
as I try to live each day
whenever I read your words
it is as if a light is seen
and the tunnel no longer seems long
I wonder sometimes how I found such friends
whom face to face I have never seen
yet who touch me more than those near by
and I thank my God for the blessing
for showing me the strength of others
I only hope that in return
my words will sometimes comfort
and return that gift you give
as you know I too suffer
yet live another day with hope | |

i too suffer
yet live another day with hope
to soap off the dying decay of morbidity
thoughts rumbling round
the cube of ice machines making madness bringing
melted torment look like fun
when its drunk to the bottom of a pitiful cry
take me home
take me home
soulfish piece of morsels left in tanks of food sprinkled after forgotten
when i waited there and all i could do was swim to the edge
peering out with google eyes
making them bigger like black gold fish
turning to hot pink globules
so's to notice the tank of my insides are dry and i need to find
the flakes you feed me
before you go away for days | |

Posted: 1/5/2007 6:52:55 PM | thorb, hopeful, mi mi mi~ thank you so very much, each of you for your words, lines, grace, understanding and care with me and all those who enter here, i do very much appreciate each of you more than i can say.
sorry, i am compelled to weave these into our thread
~looking for language~
days of yellow
though i most heartily
after careful thought
know consequences
of daring to disagree
reasons our presence
ominous and ensuring
hatred of many nations
still i care more than
any simple words convey
not anti american of me
of this tired debate turning
into it's place of blatantly
conversations of banality
any and all attempt to control
any others or eradicate any race
especially as this
a far more real kind of game of risk
not played out upon tabletop
is still plainly clearly ugly bigotry
for purely false and self reasons
my estimation means not much
but we all for now are free to express
our feelings, well anyway for now
people c'mon how many of you
see and realize honestly
this ain't about oil
boys n girls we got our
own kind of propaganda see?
i'm not flaming nor naming
but i am no communist either
just writing what i see and feel
from inside this heart it's real
i can only be me and those
that know me know it's true
recently thus decided me
twisting this bracelet i wear
in support of our troops
not enough to solely
dream our lives but
better to live our dreams
pointed out to me
by a wise friend
just this past week
who sent similar words
to my eyes and brain
but instead hit my heart
it's time to step up
actually do something
besides foaming rabidly
at the mouth of pain inside
time to find a better way
first more learning yes
then plans and more goals
in proper perspective
i'm tired of my own disgust
pointing fingers at others
those i see as ogres only
leaving three more of my
own pointing back at me
while i sit irritated and irked
seemingly complacently
doesn't any longer work for me
now crystal clear to figure out
and make somehow a path
calling others to as well
if they feel so inclined
please soon take your stand
a way to rise above and too
somehow clarify and dispel
apathy and so much wrath
yes too many yellow ribbons
but as well too many deaths
on and from all sides be clear
no one life more precious than another
men women husbands wives
sons daughters sisters brothers
senseless slaughter of lives slain
who knows how to end this pain
what to do besides wringing hands
anything is better than simply
looking on and merely complaining
a call to duty from within my heart
~first line last line~
morrow comes
morrow comes
ahhh but no
not too quickly
well for me
anyway just
so i can open
far the blinds
and lie in the
warmth of the
sun kissing my
face my cheeks
all the while
as i sigh and
revel in that
warmth the
sensuality divine
losing track of time
i've made a promise
and a date with myself
and the rays to relax
and just be me
much needed respite
i think you do see
so much to do
but yes i need
my rest too
balance i must
remember right
now needed
along with
sustenance
in elementary ways
for now must i
portion out my days
deficiencies took
precedence and
now i must stake
back claim in this
mine own life and
my own responsibilities
my own happiness
my own me
starting over from
square one
discerning again
how that's best done
sorta like a chess game
seeing feeling ahead
but living in today
the perfect grace and
beauty of here and now
i will do it no matter what
get myself back to
self square won
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~like trees~
like trees
our lives
sometimes
interweave
full and lush
offering
secrets in shade
quiet places
for respite
deep
reaching out
safe for
contemplation
or branches
clinging curling
folding cutting off
and out our
very view
or warmth of any sun
deep roots in muck
killing off
all underneath
one more prettier
than this the next
ooh the possibilities
flowering tendrils sweet faces
trunks in gently swaying breezes
unmarred by pollution
of lies and false promises made
some people too are as
like trees
which kind are you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~i look now to see~
for I look now to see
if sense can be made
i guess you don't know
how far away you and i
aren't or what lately
i've put myself through
going through the motions
getting through these days
not always easy he ll to
be honest and real i am
shaking my head dear
if i can change myself
dragging up from the
ashes and rubble of mine
own creation well then so
can you and you and you
its too simple really
easier said than done
but understand balance
is the strongest key
for people like both
of us, you and yeah me
point your thoughts
where you want them
feelings will follow
pick up your beat but
if ya need to allow
yourself to wallow
then move forward dear
dude iffen i can do it
so can you yup clear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~walls~
we'll notice a change
only when we're ready
to heal and to learn
accept and go on
more stronger in some
look at it from another angle
a new sort of way perhaps
never before yet imagined
but so necessary in growth
ruminations really aren't
worth the sanity they
steal from our brains
especially when we
give up to them freely
running in circles and
chasing our tails
telling our stories
or our side of tales
no matter the damage
just poke it around
taste it and feel it
don't let it take over
there's so many ways
to rot our own brains
swim in da sh it and
then just move on
know that its true
each day is a new day

~The Things I Should've Said~
~walls~
we all build our walls
around ourselves
scraped as of earth
with our own hands
as if to keep us safe
but do they really
or is it a mistake
keeping others at bay
for arms length to stay
we build them tall
and high on purpose
only those diligent
ever gain entry inside
as if that truly ensures us
safe happy fulfilled lives
ghosts of our pasts
sometimes surfacing
wandering in thoughts
of our yesterdays or
todays dismay at failings
risks not to be dared
time not spent or taken
but as well many of the
memories bad and good
all within me n you
to carry forever into
each singular eternity
forever is a word i
never dared spoke
nor even written
in reply to that
always on each card
for back then i was
a nonbeliever
sure i read them all
but held my breath
dared not to believe
now life seems a test
not knowing better
matters not now
for age isn't what
it seems after all
in any matters of
two truthful hearts
or even one for that
matter its up to weave
clear chaff from the grain
pain is something
we gift our own psyche
when we cannot accept
ourselves or our actions
indeed or even our very
words actions or deeds
sometimes instead even
its those very things that
we've said that we cannot
ever take back or away no matter
what for as traces always remain
damned when we do
and damned when we don't
who only knows
with whom it is safe
or even the whys and the
wherefores with others
and which day and which way | |

Posted: 1/5/2007 8:19:01 PM | Sometimes life’s too real
People fighting without a cause
Money controlling the world
Nature off balance
It’s hard to see the beauty
When there is so much pain
Days on end
The rain falls
Not cleansing the spirit
Drowning
Without an arc
A faith you don’t trust
You have to trust yourself
Understand where you have come from
One day at a time
Tell yourself
You are beautiful
Believe
Fight for your cause
Your soul yearns for
We can’t change the world
But we can make peace with ourselves. | |

Eyes Wired Shut
I've thrown away...
I've thrown away again
The pills that make me
I've thrown away...
I've thrown away again
The chance, the want to change
I've thrown away...
I've thrown away again
Standing all alone
I've thrown away...
I've thrown away again...
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
Pulling back the skin
It happens, we're getting older
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
It's all the same
But in the end, it keeps me coming
I've blown away...
I've blown away again
The fear of failing
I've blown away...
I've blown away again
The lies that make me sane
I've blown away
The chance to make it right
I want to be
I want to see
I want to make it back to me
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
Pulling back the skin
It happens, we're getting older
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
It's all the same
But in the end, it keeps me coming
‘Cause I just waste away
The chance the time to face the change
To make myself to think that things are better
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
Pulling back the skin
It happens, we're getting older
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
It's all the same
But in the end, it keeps me coming
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
Pulling back the skin
It happens, we're getting older
Eyes wired shut
Running through my brain
It's all the same
But in the end, it keeps me coming

| thoughts of this weekend's future
Posted: 1/5/2007 10:12:27 PM | thank you autumn for your inspiration we both know its true
and thank you too triple, now i've yet another cd to buy!
although both above posters gave such divergent exchanges
both well appreciated and felt deep inside this heart n mind
its not the fear i have
of getting old
but more the
scent of mould
the thought of
being paralyzed
unable to
create anything
within the
realm of taste
life ain't
spittin me out
just yet uh uh
i've got too much to do
here's a few o my plans
well since last weekend
i had my very own pity party
sat in the stinky parts
of my mind till it about rotted
so i won't be doing THAT
anytime soon again...
but now i feel stronger
the usual requisite cleaning
cooking for the week ahead
getting together with friends
for cards or games or a movie
i moved into this place just
mid november so i'm still pulling
loved things from boxes and well
coming onto PoF to write n read
i gotta get my forum fix
n get outside when its sunny
take loooong baths
blah blah blah...
but really truly firstly
is be NICE to myself
keep eating healthy
hydrate
lay in the sun
get a manicure n pedicure
wash my car too
do some of that
work brought home
take pictures and make ads
for items i wanna
sell on a local site
get back to painting
yoga/stretching
time with friends
it'll all mesh right
even if its boring to you
now c'mon
what about YOU? | |
|
| right now
Posted: 1/6/2007 11:23:50 AM | ok so no one wants to say but me here now i will
strongly feeling something was
lost from inside this heart
swirling in that undertow
of life's waves crashing surf
hawaii 1984 so very long ago
remembering suddenly i was thrust
back up from the strangulation
of those swirls long enough
to air taking a deep full breath
before being pulled down again
given many reprieves too many
to count and now there is no need
what seemed like loss i now see
instead a rare true gift sublime
spewing coughing sputtering
choking on water of life
awake now on the beach in hot sun
realizing i am indeed still alive
some tell me to run or hide myself
i refuse to pretend i can't feel or see
i've learned for me to address whatever
is going on helps the process along
and make no excuse for not all in life
is a beautiful symphony or light song
it is with much gratitude and smiles
i am here this very moment now as you
and i have but this day in which to aspire
benefits ahead coming only in the dreaming
yes but moreso living life as worthwhile | |
|
| right now.... today
Posted: 1/6/2007 11:07:33 PM | wonder of wonders
joy of joys
smiling laughing giggling
like a school girl enthralled
with the first love of life
a day of happiness
content and serene
spent with the one i love
doing nothing in particular
but everything special
breakfast, ate in bed
the car wash hand in hand
the mall for a few small things
then home cooking cleaning
a little tv to unwind
no anxious feelings
no downward spiral
nothing setting me off
nothing pulling me down
just a happy day
my heart sings with joy
peace floods through my soul
i am content in my bed
for today i was not alone
today, i was with my best friend | |
|
| right now.... today
Posted: 1/7/2007 8:17:24 AM | hopefulhun glad you too are having a good and beautiful new year
my eyes have been opened wide by a dear friend so herein i leave these lines
~ inxs ~ don't change
i'm standing here on the ground
the sky above won't fall down
see no evil in all direction
resolution of happiness
things have been dark
for too long
don't change for you
don't change a thing for me
i found a love i had lost
it was gone for too long
hear no evil in all directions
execution of bitterness
message received loud and clear
don't change for you
don't change a thing for me
i'm standing here on the ground
the sky above won't fall down
see no evil in all directions
resolution of happiness
things have been dark for too long
don't change for you
don't change a thing for me
and too, befitting here this beautiful morning especially~
~ the album leaf ~ always for you
in the air i flew
through the clouds i fall
through the country i've walked
in front of temples i've stood
before the ocean I pray
and i said your name
in the air i flew
through the clouds i fall
and all the things i've tried to say
were never easy to explain
they were always meant for you
and all the memories that were made
for years and years
i've chased this day
they were always for you
always for you
in the air i breath
through the clouds i see
through the cities i've walked
in the castles i dreamed
on the mountain i climb
when i call your name
in the air i flew
Through the clouds i've fell
and all the things i've tried to change
were never easy to contain
they were always meant for you
always for you
and all the memories will never fade
for years and years
in my heart you'll stay
it was always for you
always for you
always for you
and all the pieces that remain
they will build a place for us to stay
they were always meant for you
always for you
and all the chances that we take
for years and years
we'll have this place
they were always for you
always for you | |

| right now.... today
Posted: 1/7/2007 8:33:23 AM | they only think of that last high
while down putting others in their wake
sad but true when both play tired games
living lives making learned mistakes
glad for today this sun warm n bright
having learned what i did last night
no more needing of me to wallow
certainly makes things better to swallow
last night learned huge few facts
from the sweet ex's best friend
about the truth herein laid out
in those very true n honest lines
the recent break up had me down
so lately yeah i'd been depressed
again fallen into the nasty trap
her name anorexia but as of today
well now that's so easily all changed
some things are just not meant to last
and instead tossed into the past
when disgust is shown another man
by his own friend knowing his scams
lies are never good to me this much
you all dear know takes trust from me
no matter if it's pointedly blamed on me
others relay it something called integrity
lines here sent sweetly for and to me
so uplifting this morning especially
i too am touched by the laid out rhymes
am grateful for this place to spend time
and will use this response in my thread
well that is, without disclosing too much
and of course that is if you don't mind
when i can again be laid
first a bet i learn was made
think i'd rather stay old maid
than play complicated games
psycho kitty's have been placed
it's on now apparently it's a race!
here there will be no running round
after drinking tequila which i hate
glad i've never acquired that taste
i'm so glad i'm in second place
behind yahoo beauty hot chicky and that
psycho kitty parisian cocktail waitress
drooled over with her faux breasts
betwixt two with so much taste
thankful to me it's been relayed
rather than any tired old debate
it's true it's best to not make haste
thank you again for not taking advantage
of me when you know for my dear YOU
it would be an easy thing to do
as well i'm glad things have been made clear
to me about my being second place
i am not about being betted upon
and glad you had a new year's eve fun
drinking that jack from your flask
of which i bought you a large bottle
drunk with nary a thought of me
i'm glad it went to your good cause
seeking a bright and new year tranquil | |

My now....
He comes to me in dreams at night
And the day too, bringing not fright.
As I journey through this life unknown
Of being here again alone.
He hides his face from me at times
Making me wish for it to combine
My dreams and ultra fantasies
Of Sam, whose fate and destinies
Are ever changing, just like the tides
That roll in and out and abides
To his demands, wants and dreams.
To share with us who ride his beams
Of inspiration to his contemporaries
Young, middle, old or those contrary.
Yet never completely revealing
His inner self, which still is healing.
I hope he comes out, stays with me,
In every voyage I hope he sees
That love transcends the hurts now past
And fantasy shall be real, at last.

them wisely
relearning

breathe deeply
breathe deeply
breathe even
yet more deeply
center inside
swirls of color
maze of need
we each of us
in our own ways
pulling forth
from inside
our resolve
thusly so

focusing
on grace

| Beauty and Death
Posted: 1/7/2007 12:17:40 PM |
Wings, suspended in flight
as caustic rain, grasping too tight,
suffocates, and the life goes sour.
Fall beneath shade of a maple tree bower.
Verdant, endearing, vermillion hues
consistently swaying encompassing truths.
In togetherness beauty and death now lie
hoping humanity understands why.

Posted: 1/7/2007 4:55:19 PM | It’s like the origin of fire…
Ye art……..
In depths the heart…..
Vigil in the shadows……
Just as keen as light……
Given sight to many a-thought…..
Ye reach out in compassion…..
Without the verbal abuse;
Aware that the poet must often spring lose.
Ye art love abundance.
The soul-felt-spring in troth;
Chanting thy tacit chant of warmth;
Gingerly excavating the sorrow…
Replacing it with this blissful tomorrow!
Ye art a keen, thoughtful and most courageous spirit, Softedge;
And I’m fortunate to have you as a poetical friend.

Posted: 1/7/2007 10:45:18 PM | tIm your writes lately have been so vivid and beautiful, thank you for leaving it herein.
witty your words are too kind, i am grateful too to have our soul's friendship, thank you.
kisses sweetly received
arid desert winds
clearing polluted skies
as well disillusioned mind
thoughts now
turning softly
to images
remembered conversation
hearing your voice
your laughter
your seriousness too
sharing intricacies
unable this night
to trace edges
with my fingertips
of your
collar bones
and visage
from temple
to jaw
then chin
then back
again
music plays in
this background here
wrenching senses free
making me glad
to be me
you to be you
even if i am
but emotion
learning yet
anticipation
longing thirsting
for knowledge
i send to you
now my own kisses
intended
one for your cheek
another your forehead
my aim is bad
as well in darts
for while methinks
they missed their mark
having slid
down trickling
perhaps
hitting
your
heart | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 1:30:58 PM | Once there was a little girl
Oh so very cute
She wandered through the playing fields
oh so resolute.
Once there was a little boy
with patches on his knees
He loved to wander through the field
and climb the knobby trees.
Once there was a time so sweet
as to make your fun so light
When all you had to do was play
the future seemed so bright.
But time can be relentless
and age be so forelorn
to take away the fun we had
and fill our lives with scorn.
For if this little girl and boy
should meet upoun the knoll
who knows what good times they will have
before time takes it's toll
by yours truly
inspired by life | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 10:15:48 PM | thank you tta nice reflection on innocence
him
master of spoken paintings
musings pondered
brought forth from inside
i feed on your very words
delighting in the way they feel
upon my tongue
as i whisper them
to myself aloud
but moreso in as they
dance within my heart
so far apart so far away
still inside embers sparked
igniting a slow burning reign
of fire orange; yellows reds pinks
turning to purple then blue
before cooling to greener forests
its but a natural course
thoughts flying now
freely in skies expanding
luminous with possibilities
swaying live rhythmic dances
of ages old journeys taken
stories told and retold
rebirthed again
lines pelting images
designed intricately
stories staking claim
deeply inside
our very selves
whirling swirling destiny
shrapnel tearing into
it's target
as music without sound
beauty blind
kindness of unknown
soul re~emerging thus
stretching timidly at first
of warm mud and porous clay
kindling sticks and 'ittlest bones
once lost in fray now found again
redeposited into foundation
now finding myself
only hungering now
please for
more | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 11:17:06 PM | It doesn’t matter how far apart we are
Because love doesn’t work like that
Doesn’t matter what obstacles
Seem to lurk in the shadows
Of a limited reality
Love doesn’t work like that.
Whether you ever touch
My hand in friendship
Does not matter
Love doesn’t work like that
Love charts it’s own course
Into the darkest places
Only asking to be received
To be believed
In again. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 11:25:18 PM | rc, yes of course you know; thank you
love knows not only
space ad infinitum
time never ending
distance yet traveled
animalia of all types
human kindness of souls
nature everywhere
science of technology
knowledge nor learning
moods or fames of mind
destiny of changing beauty
desires fiery passion
yearning cry of hope
speech nor nations
cultures or creeds
language itself save of the heart
for this much i know is true
love transcends even death
if or when it must, for
love gracefully and simply
just knows | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 5:42:03 PM | hi soft EDGE..
I am having one of those days
first thing this morning
i was out on the step
with my
java
and cigarette
and i fired up the 'putor
let it hum for a while
as i waited for signs
about my day
sort of consciously
but half into today and leaving yesterday
i was startled
i mean the sun wasn't quite up
the sky was brilliant with fire and sea
and a falling star
passed by me
i've only seen one before of any significance
i've camped out for showers and been dazzled before
but this morning
i believed
that it was meant to be | |
