Some people just know
He’s one for me
Knows where to land
Both tickle and punch
Not that he’s quick
Or even very precise
But I lower hands
And expose my flesh
And off he goes
Playing whack a mole
With my outstretched chin
And my naked feet
And oh of course
My heart and mind
He’s naturally my boo
My corner man too
Humility is not weakness
In fact it’s strength
Humility is the admission
Of being present to
Someone and or something
Being greater than you
I think that love
And humility are synonymous
A rolling stone gathers
No moss but does
Break hearts an open
Door is different than
A key intimacy is
Dull but unlocks everything
Else sex is always
An expression of something
Else the only truth
Worth telling is the
One to yourself never
Do your best for
Anyone ever but you
My nighttime dreams brought
Happiness an odd array
Of characters had gathered
To surprise me on
My birthday hosted by
My ex husband and
Attended by long lost
At one time friends
Now serving his command
The war he declared
Against me years ago
But my dream was
A bit of homecoming
As though I’d entered
The gates of Heaven
It was like it
Was many years ago
My forever is behind
Me having been spent
But never squandered what
Used to be a
Map is now a
Scrapbook it’s funny how
Fast things happen how
Quickly life fills in
The blanks and love
The colors now if
You are young and
Especially if old save
Only your pennies and
Spend absolutely everything else
