ONCE UPON A TIME

OFTEN TIMES I WONDER WHERE TIME GOES WHEN IT FLIES

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE STRINGS OF THE HEART WHEN CUT

WHOSE TURN IS IT TO BRING BACK THE LOVE WE ONCE LOST

WHERE GOES THE SURGE IF ALL POWER IS ABRUPTLY SHUT

IF I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

AND KNOW HOW TO MEND A BROKEN HEART

MOP UP BUCKETS OF THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS

I’D RUN UP EVERY SINGLE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

WHEN YOU FALL SO HARD THAT HUMPTY HAS EMPATHY

ONE MUST LOOK AT THYSELF AND PERFORM TRIAGE

YOU LET HIM HUFF & PUFF & BLOW YOUR GUARD DOWN

EVEN THE 3 LITTLE PIGS HAD A BRICK & MORTAR GARAGE

“HARK!” ONTA DON’T DRAIN YOUR CASTLE’S MOAT JUST YET

THE DRAWBRIDGE STILL WORKS AND IS NEEDED TO CONNECT

AT LEAST PROCEED WITH YOUR HEART’S ARMOR A PROPER FIT

NOT EVERY SUITOR IS AN UNBROKEN RUTTING HOUSE PET

In Walks A Lady

Love of life or love of self, which takes priority for you?  Even minimal age differentials create worlds of difference in perceptions, regard for others, and game plan strategies. Who would have thought equally yoked; such a daunting task? Nevertheless like me you find yourself here sifting through profile after profile wondering if an 83% match will suffice or should you keep going to reach the top 10 percentile.

          Am I allowed to terminate the services of my representative upon reaching the age of majority in TX (21)? When I can so eloquently represent myself I was sure she could no longer serve me yet I find myself in need of a buffer between me & the foolishness I’ve encountered in search of love.

          Creative lies are still just that; lies. Oh but the creativity is fun to read to say the least. I’ve found that the year on the birth certificate cannot dictate the level of creativity in some. So what drives the underachiever to lackluster status while the overachiever basks in his own stupor of misplaced sense of accomplishment?

          Hurry, the hand on the clock continues to move forward even if we wish it was not so!! As I continue my journey to find the 3 Ls I implore you to stay true to your path.  Should ours cross savor the moment in which you met a lady.

If a Man Wants You

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.   Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.   If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't 'be friends'. A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.   If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is Don't stay because you think 'it will get better' You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.   Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?   Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.  If something bothers you, speak up.   Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.   You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within.   Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... Even if he has more education or in a better job.   Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.   All men are NOT dogs.   You should not be the one doing all the bending... Compromise is two way street.   You need time to heal between relationships... There is nothing cute about baggage.... Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship   You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... Look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.   Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.   Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted Never move into his mother's house.  Never co-sign for a man.   Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.* Keep him in your radar but get to know others.   Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful: Dr. Phil   You should know that: You're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one.   They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices. Make the right one.   Ladies take care of your own hearts....

Physical Therapy

I am not of your design or your failed attempts
A breath worth taking yet on exhale won't come back
I am not lying in the path of your destruction
Nor still bleeding from open wounds like heroin tracks

I am beyond your nasty grip around my life's organs
Your savage artist's bloody pen poised atop my canvas
Oozing my copper scented essence where once blank
Survivor of surgically extracting you from my anus

Remodeled and rehabilitated
Reconnected and resuscitated
Redrafted and reevaluated
I am so much more than your design
I am your wildest dreams defined.

You Are Worth It...

I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING OR BOTHERED NO?
THE HI & BYES WERE RANDOM MOSTLY A NO SHOW
I CAN'T PRESUME TO KNOW OR HAVE 20/20
IN HINDSIGHT I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING

I CAN'T CALL IT OR BEAR WITNESS TO IT ALL
AN UNLIKELY PARTICIPANT YET I STOOD TALL
A NOVICE SWINGING AT LOVE'S CURVE BALL
PEEPING YET 1 + 1 MORE UNANSWERED CALL

DIRT CAKED CUTICLES BLEEDING LIKE KNEES
BUT GOING UNNOTICED THE FOREST; THE TREES
STRONG SUBTLE WORDS DRUM IN MY EARS
URGING NUMB FINGERS IN THE MUD OF MY TEARS

SLOWLY APPEARS LOVE'S LIGHT JUST BEYOND REACH
SAY IT AGAIN, "I LOVE YOU. I NEED THE SQUEAK"
LIGHT BREATHES NEW LIFE THOUGH I'M WEAK
"I KNOW YOU ARE WORTH IT." I BEGIN TO SPEAK

TEARS ROLLING THE DIRT MUST GO TO SEE LIGHT
I DIG AND I DIG AND I DIG AND I DIG AND I DIG...DIG
BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT I SAVED IT FOR YOU
I SHOW YOU MY HEART IS DOWN HERE BURIED ALIVE

I'M SORRY IT'S DIRTY, IT'S TATTERED & WORN
BUT IT RESPONDED TO YOU & CLUNG TO THE LIGHT
SO MANY DIRT CRUMBS! TIRED BUT NOT GONNA CRY
"YOU ARE WORTH IT" BUT YOU MADE ME OUT A LIE.
