This jar of weed
this jar of weed has been sitting here for a while
every day I intend to smoke some but then I don't
doesn't mean that tomorrow I won't
although it occurred to me the reason I leave it be
could be because I am chill and relaxed already times three
so if I smoke this weed it will just put me to sleep
that's why I always prefer a cup of coffee ;)

I'll always be proud
I'll always be proud
when we go out
doesn't matter if we're fit and slim
or have extra pounds and a slight double chin
doesn't matter the color or style of our hair
or the type of outfit we choose to wear
doesn't matter if we want to be dapper or fab
or make other people think we are freakish and bad
doesn't matter if we are acting bold
and get perceived as way too old
doesn't matter whether they stare and whisper, or not
to me we'll always be nothing but hot :) ♡♡♡

The Difference
the difference
he looks and sees what he wants
you look and see the true me
the difference
he gives me intolerance
you give me acceptance
the difference
with him I feel banished
with you I feel cherished
he looks and sees what he wants
you look and see the true me
the difference
he gives me intolerance
you give me acceptance
the difference
with him I feel banished
with you I feel cherished

Your Writings
your writings -- I love them so
they mesmerize me and I never
want to stop reading once I start
glimpses of you appear in the
images that flow from your pen
and onto the page
materializing directly into my mind's eye
reading you is such an intimate act
and through it I connect with you
and feel close to you
your writings -- they stay forever
in my heart mind and soul
just like you.......♡♡♡

A good deal
Oh boy they sure have quite the racket going on here
good for them in a way
but me I am just browsing
perusing the flimsy tops
that are sewn together shoddily
and already coming apart at the seams
with a pricetag of almost $50 bucks to boot
over on the other side of this urban extravaganza
one can find cheap and garish jewelry for $28 a piece --
made in china --I don't think so -- I get the real thing at
pawn shops or garage sales for under half that
the sandals I bought for $5 they're
shilling...

Thank you to a great teacher
you are a great teacher and
the amount of your knowledge is vast
I feel lucky to be able to learn so much
from you and you have the ability
to make me think and see the world
with new eyes
I am forever grateful for what you
have taught me and continue to teach me --
you are a true pioneer, freethinker and genius
and I will always be fascinated by the way
you look at things.....
so thank you not only for being you
but also for being a great teacher --
this knowledge that you have given...

"aha" moment
there are few better moments than the "aha" moment
the one when the lightbulb finally comes on
usually unexpectedly and totally out of the blue
and after some vexation has been floating around
in my mind for quite some time and after I pondered
the riddle in question from every possible angle
but then when that moment of illumination comes --
and it usually does come sooner or later --
it's a fantastic feeling of elation and excitement
and afterwards I always feel very grateful for
the "aha" moment and its imparted...

bondage play
we roped each other in a long time ago
the ties that bind hold strong
our bondage play's in the heart

Wildflower
let me be your wildflower
I'll saturate your heart with the loveliest green
and give your manhood a bright purple sheen
I'll give you my luscious magenta power
and indulge you in many a cream-colored shower
I'll warm your soul with the sunniest yellow
then top it all off with shimmering gold
our love is like a field of wildflowers
such beauty to behold

Lately
lately there has been so much stress
to get out of this financial mess
although a solution could be at hand
if only we were able to take a stand
you blame it all on me and I am
not allowed to question you
if only we could pick something and see it through
but I get the feeling that this will be tough
nothing I suggest is deemed good enough
it has to be millions
the all or nothing mentality
on the horizon so many more options I see
if only you were willing to engage with me
perhaps it would be best to go separate ways
with...

Heavyness
I can't deny that I love to eat
and a lot of times my food is sweet
I can't deny that it's a crutch
to help me out with life and such
but in the end it's not worth the "gain"
cause too much heavyness is such a pain
I'd rather feel a little bit lighter
more energy would make my life so much brighter
of course it is a balancing act
I don't want to be too skinny and that's a fact
but I also don't want to become obese
by gliding through life on wings of ease
so I plan on waving my heavyness goodbye
while greeting the new...

The Cycle
the cycle seems to be the same
for the addictions all of us face
doesn't matter what your drug of choice is
first comes the stage of seeking relief or
wanting escape from the pressure cooker
that this world can be
then comes the stage of indulgence
feeling better for a little while
riding high on cloud nine
or sometimes just feeling fine
then slowly that feeling wears off
as realization sets in
you have indulged again
yet the world is still the same
time for another escape
time for another indulgence ...
