BeAlone

We all just have 
one thing to do
in this our life
and that’s to find
our comfort within ourselves
not with anyone else
just with ourselves alone
And others hate that
for they are convinced
that we need them
when in fact we
might prefer but don’t

Gateway

I remember kissing you 
just as I remember
your kissing of me
I don’t remember feeling
anything in particular actually
feeling no knowing yes
knowing that those kisses
were gateways and locks
between one thing and
something else between one
someone and another someone
else between wanting to
love and being loved

Carry

I have a friend 
that carries his dog
everywhere and when they
get where they’re going
he sets him down
Curious I inquired quietly
can’t walk can he
Oh no he can
I just don’t want
him to run away
How many of us
carry around others for
simply the same reason

BeingAnything

Being anything with yourself 
is harder than being
anything with anyone else
Let’s start with forgiveness
forgiving others is easy
we all do it
all of the time
But when was the
last time that you
forgave yourself or let’s
try selfishness we all
have been selfish with
others but when was
the last time you
allowed yourself to be
selfish with you being
almost anything with yourself
is in fact the
cornerstone of your happiness
No not your happiness
with others but only
your happiness with yourself

Want

Learn to disavow need
and begin to practice
want needing anything needing
anyone is slavery not
freedom freedom expresses itself
by choice not need
Step away from needs
make do do without
with out isn’t scarcity
scarcity is a by-product
of need abundance is
the expression of want
