Where Does Love Come From

It is not concrete.
Seemingly intangible.

Unlike elegant china from the cabinet,
dusted off and gently placed on
the heirloom tablecloth,
starched, unfolded linen napkins,
spesh and saved for holidays.

Not like the wedding band
dressing the ring finger, glorifying
vows of loyalty, faithfulness, and fidelity.

Unlike those symbols and physical tokens
of affection - ticket stubs commemorating first concerts,
locks of hair, ribbons from opened presents,
photos of birthdays, anniversaries and shared memories.

Conversation With...

A reflecting light of shadow
leading a ray of hope
showcase with lifting spirit
in the heart of express
with a sense of gratitude
a role model figure
portray a strong
image display
never fail to protect
your children
from thick through thin
with a guidance
of evidence bring
a nurturing of love
exude the joy of life
that lightens up a smile
serving with the wisdom
of unwavering support
carry a sense of strength
and instilled in me the person
that I am today

Spilling Ink

Try diving into my mind!
If I were you,
I’d leave it undefined.

Calling me weak
wakes my pen
It better not speak.

His bullets don’t kill
They slowly coax
doubt to refill.

You, are Superman?
More like a
smashed cola can!

Need God? Press redial!
Digested fear, sipping
on a big gulp of denial.

My mind full of artillery,
the sound of spilling ink,
defenses gone suddenly.

Tomorrow is Another Day

Tomorrow I'll repent of all my sins
and write away a new history
I shall quit all the caffeines
and take a good care of poor me.

I'll cut down on the junkie foods
I won't keep awake till the wee hours
I'll try out more green stuffs and fruits
to nourish with super powers

I won't break the traffic rules
or bully anyone on my way
I won't quibble or fuss with fools
tomorrow is another day.

Damn them computer hackers...

nothing but persistent
pesky sniveling, snot nosed
beastie boy buggers.

Data breach conundrum with Gmail rectified...
courtesy MacKeeper computer technicians
in tandem with the geek inside me,
who finally resolved elusive quandary
that befuddled and frustrated yours truly,
yet would probably be a no brainer
for generic kindergartner.

Another One for Obi (getting mature themed)

She was formed in the darkness
behind a closed door
She was tempting, delicious
my buttery whore
She imprisoned my jealousy
and garments I craved
And the drink that transformed me
considered depraved
She molested long stockings
I wore when I shaved
and bikini-like skivvies and hot lingerie
(I like dancing about with my smalls hanging out)
When I get home from Obi's
I'll look for her there
She's my confidant mistress
ma muse du repaire!

Qadesh Mistress of Pleasure.

She lurks in the darkness, waiting, waiting,
Patient as gold orb in her web;
I know she waits but dare not open
The door to the fate where I shall be led.

I close my eyes;
I close my mind;
But in the silence there I find
No solace from her piercing eyes
That stab the impenatrable with her lies.

I hear her speak soft to my soul
Command me clear her lust to feed,
Ope' the door, let desire take wing
My mistress sets my soul to sing.

Ebb

Today I am low
Predominant
Is the ebb
Of my soul

The prosaic,
leaden, sapless,
Is in vile display.

How can I find
the strength this day?
How can I care?

And caring
How could I do?

I am Falling For My Therapist

A skipping of a heartbeat
seeking for the lust of quest
under the spelling of
the enchanting flirtatious
with his delicate finger running
through my hair and a sparkling
smile that takes my breath away
from the irresistible charm
as he brings butterflies to my stomach

Oh blue friend sky

Oh blue friend sky, where have you been?
Your perfect vision fills my heart with joy,
When dull and gloom is all I've seen.
Could that have been your purposeful ploy?

A hue that's reminiscent of postcard days,
Transports me back to sunnier places,
Speaks of fun-filled holidays.
When I looked at many happy,smiley, faces.

As I bask in the brilliance of the sun's glare.
And optimism consumes my hopeful mind,
I feel like I am without a single care,
Detached from all that's evil and unkind.
