come on, let's just fool around
trip and frisk another round
you can see my brain gears grindin'
one more chase will send me windin'
deer in headlights, I can flee
slo-mo panic, if you let me
Once I'm googled, I surrender
Tired and teased, tickled till tender

for those who aren't shooting

for the ones with the gun
for every shame thwarted
a heartsick avoidance

You never fail to have something waiting for me, Brizo. You know by now, I really mean it when I say------cool. Thanks.
I looked at your new thread. Thanks for putting the "road trip" poem on there. It was great seeing it again, and I am honored to be included in that thread.

A face at mid-life
the pivot point of age
twenty years either way
in the balance
to grasp the hand of
a seven year old and dance
weights a moment
in the favor of youth
the moment of mid-life
remains a mystery
and death doesn't
measure the years
But the elder can be young
( have you yet discovered?)
As scores of years
pass quickly away.
Hi Om & friends.
I got to dance with my little Canadian godchild this weekend.
Just wanted to share.

find the truth by numerical design
if that's what turns you own bebe
and if numbers dance in your dreams as well
your music is is just dandy by me
Count your steps backward till you see you begin,
the lean man under the flesh, beneath
ten thousand changes of clothes
go cubic nude, my abstract dude
I like to watch you think

Confused relationship ending??????

Hi peaceangel5.
Good luck. I think the best outcome would be for him to write you and for you to be able to write him back, even if you have to tell him that, hard as this is for you, you can still be his friend.
I think nowadays, relationships have to evolve for people to grow. So you had one type of relationship, that doesn't mean that you can't have another type in the future. The person you knew and loved is still there; he's hurt you and in a way, damaged you, but that's the world we live in. While we're making the best of an imperfect world, I don't see any reason why we can't keep our people in our lifes--as best we can, to compare notes and to offer support.
Yeah, I hope it's not the last you hear from him.

and would I like to share a pot of tea
and might I like to share my weary story
the hand of one, the voice of one
and sweet are the ears of the same
who came to me as I impulsively
and desperately became
willing to admit my need
to be the ground
a spirit of giving used to sow its seed.

As innocence is contaminated by heroes to boot
and then is lost in the throes of their parentals' crapshoot
an innocence remains that somehow holds against the quake
the innocence that keeps the question why at highest stake
As life deals crushing blow upon blow
and answers fall short of putting one in the know
the inner child always belly up imploring of the sky
will be preserved above it all as long as she asks why

Our kids are amazing gifts like the horse
though not as strong for riding of course
our kids we love freely without fear of remorse
and then they fly away as we stand in the concourse
they love us before they love any other
I'm so glad I had the chance to be a mother
not once but twice-- two divine human beings
They easily mean to me so much more than me

that we can say goodbye to those so dear
is an opportunity unique not rare
that the individual beloved is surrounded in love
must be at her death like a sign from above
Speculation of what a dying one feels
is no substitute for the knowledge that heals
we should be prepared to give of our time
for those who will need us, for those hours sublime

OP, You have done well not to try to contact him so far--or do you even have a way to contact him? He did tell you that he would send you a postcard, right? I know you can't help but wonder when or if he will.
My opinion about your situation is that his insisting that it was always temporary is one reason you are not completely out of your mind right now. You know that even though it doesn't completely make sense, your relationship was, at least in some respect, what it was supposed to be.
I wish you the best moving on. You seem like a very strong woman. You are already drawing from the positive aspects of what you had with him.
Still, I hope for both your sakes that he comes back or makes contact some day with deeper insight into what you two meant to each other.

What to do about my ex!
Posted:

Hi. You're pretty young, I bet he is too.
Of course you want to do the right thing, even if it means some sacrifice on your part. By now, you have already made that sacrifice. Changing your cell phone number should do the trick. Don't talk about him on face book. Tell his mom you've got to be cool with her for a while till her son gets over you.
It's sad. The man has lost his job and his girlfriend. Still, he's young and for all he knows he can still find happiness in this life. He's got to prepare to take his next stand and so do you--the two of you without each other.

Um, I'm sorry. I haven't checked the rules lately. It is easier to keep up with though if you just manage one thread at first. Plus, If you keep going with a thread, you'll probably want all your stuff in one place. Sorry to bog your thread down with this, but I couldn't email ya, due to restrictions. 1. I'm not male.

The silence of solitude

by unvoiced reading
like one's reflection

When reading is done,
the silence of solitude

and she looked at me deeply begging that I help her
Oh my, my at least to match I could scalp her
And wouldn't that just be this poor doggy's luck
while so many doggy's fare quite well by pluck
So is the plight of a dog who shows need
bite first and beg later might be a stronger creed
of course it's not but who's to say what's in the doggy mind
scared and hurt or rabid and wild, responding to our kind

and left me alone
on another day of peace
this one a sticky one
particulate warnings
on red, the birds still chirp
the heat-pump hums
the car runs, if I like.
on another day of freedom
this one an easy one
I may write a letter
I may clear the stairs
and I've eaten like a queen
all I can eat, luncheon buffet
on another day of stability
the economy not encroaching
though appliances are broken
they are still under warranty
quiet and full, peaceful and free
it's a time of life
another day of life as seen from
being alone

Wings of paradise,
Your poems are beautiful.
They are also long, which means I have to come back when I am focused.
You said something like, "the second wind always comes like banging aluminum." That is so true to my experience with second wind.
I'll be back. maybe with a printer.
Just wanted to say hi.

(that's the saddest line I've ever heard, though quite true)
i can almost hear the pop of each failed synapse
as the old girl meets her maker in another reality lapse
and I the seer with the tightly-mapped brain
shake my head, owing naught to someone less sane
The sane of this world are clearly our hope
the ones who persist verbally, while others syncope
Those sharp enough to find words free coupons feign to
guard high ideals from those subject to duping

the perfect ride for this here loner,
who skirts into society to pay respects
and to follow up on rumors of an after life,
is actually a ding-ed up tercel, mirrors long gone
who can trust 'em. burnt-out, built-back,
wheel-bent (I didn't do it, but I'll take the blame)
beauty, fogged up--trunk leaks, dog-seasoned seats.
Been thinking about this cute little 6 speed VW
with seats that wrap around and say hello,
Turbo beetle, silver, gleaming. No one would
guess it was me in there, wondering where
to put my dog. . .

What good is tomorrow, if I can't have today?
Better to answer, let nothing get in the way.
The sky may be gray and the grass may have died
But that it is day cannot be denied
The waking of the dead is a miracle each time
and every time I wake, I should need no other sign
that living is the task at hand, though silly I may be
to worry over many things I cannot even see
Oops Hi Spiffycat
Summer rains will soon forget what my heart had once known deeply
and I shall soon allow the wetness of a shower to make me sleepy
When that time comes I know I'll find the softness of a bed
So why should I worry so much my pretty little head
The world is fierce, and superbly mysterious
But my little world is not so serious
Until I find a cause to adopt
I should rest easy on my little lot

for reducing to culture for boils

Much to do, for me and you
(precious line, like from Richard Scarry )
I like to be a do-bee too
a post a pssst now and again
and tell the readers something
true and almost important as a friend
who's playing here, above all else
as one who kisses and never tells
or whispers with the outfielder on third
just to love the sound of a witty word
I like the sound of the free words best
those you get first on the vocabulary test

Rose,
Even I will miss the amaranthus. Down with genetic engineering!! When will they be satisfied.
I offer Rose a toast for recallin' those historical trains
and a prayer for those who don't know what to do with their brains
In my state, we were taught that "decency" was the true education
and our brand of decency spread through churches throughout the nation
It's been a while now since I've worshipped in a church
I never faltered, but it left me in the lurch.

Just say sorry and you 'believe' after a while
and everyone learns to accept your smile.
Your sins after all, are the least of our woes
We learn to accept others stepping on our toes
Murdering a child here or there
Not that we have forgotten to care
But we sense that worse still lurks.
Something more sinister is in the works.

As you breathe in the last breeze of a tainted golden rod
and scrape withered fingers over cracked earth
remembering good seeds and fresh grass sod
Can you stare into the falsity of the Word
I would say don't blame Jesus for religion's crime
as science in secreet engineers our demise.
He wasn't even guilty of his own
commonsense is disavowed and that is why
the golden rod waves famine over our fields

an exploded reality
exponential life suddenly
the glimpse of so much one
could never see.
Slam the lid
on the snakes and ghosts
Walk away, strobe lit, reassembling
the partial awareness,
the sight we list
for reference--
no deference to
the epiphany.
Only the familiar sense of unease.
