my own advice

I wish I could learn to listen to me.
We (humans) should not get stuck in the past. And it's where I live. Attached. Obsessed. Confused cuz I know it's wrong. What the F***?
I just can't let go of something I know will never work. Now I say that, but I must not believe it, and I don't. Somewhere real deep I think it could work. However....in comes reality. I can never decide if this is when I should move on and forget ...or....
in the past when I moved on, I was wrong.
and now I've sat waiting...occasionally happy for 2 years. and on the other side of that...I've been sad. I've been terrorized by my own heart. Silly heart. Not very smart for being so old. It seems getting old is slowing my motion & movement down...grrrrrrrrrrrrr what's up with that? Time is shorter now, I should be moving quicker!!!!

Out of the Mountains

this looks interesting

Out of the Mountains

seeking satisfaction

escape from craving
more than depraving
avoidance within a mind

once made impression
self grade obsession
colorful paradise blind

seeking repression
living recession
abundant minimal grind

Hot Springs Pool - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

another absolutely great place to be:
Hot Springs Pool - Glenwood Springs, Colorado
We went swimming at night in February one year. I was worried I'd get cold when I got out of the pool, but no, the body absorbs so much heat, it actually steams with relief. The smaller, hotter pool has stairs along the sides for exposing more skin. Just as I got really overheated and thought I couldn't take any more hot steamy water covering my body, it started to snow. Little crystals of frozen sizzling as they hit my skin...wow!!!

Lakota-words

Here's a link for my wenchie girl.

Lakota-words

unison writing

honey wind riders dipped in ice cream
topped with strawberries pretty red beams
licking by friends brought summer delight
memories warm for cool lonely nights

fast nights blurred past live passions of day
friends trading love felt not of the play
never knew then that ever they'd part
smiles licked their lips hid holes in their hearts

single neighbors

the neighbors wonder
why she's single
not overweight
seemingly happy attitude
the middle aged lady
who most the time
sleeps alone

on occasion
a silver truck comes
and parks overnight
then the lady she bounces around
for a day or two
and then isn't seen
again for awhile

oil monkeys watch
through dark sunglasses
the middle aged lady
as she lets the dogs in
led on a leash
through the back yard
in her back door
lucky dogs

connections

we are all
connected
related
together
in romantic
and not so romantic
directions
reflections
of our own
eyes


he turns
and remembers
another kiss
is never enough
he'd better grab two
we never know who'll
be watching
or who
will be there tomorrow

dreaming a dream

draw me a fantasy lover
a man to make my own
a gentle person to love me
attraction over blown

a mate to savor my presense
who won't leave me alone
whos heart is always with me
wether or not he's at home

I've fine tuned my wifely talents
I cook and massage up a storm
those feminists wouldn't agree
touting independence as regular norm

Hope is the thing with feathers

Poetry by Emily Dickinson:

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,


And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.


I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me"

Snowflake and Snow Crystal Photographs

No wonder every time snow falls, it looks a little bit different! This is a great site!

hunger

I woke up empty
I think I'm trying to fill
a broken vase
I've a leaky base
I need thicker substance
in order
to recover
from previous injuries

Timing

The moment mr. wrong moved aside, the very moment, I was stunned to find a kind hand reaching out to me. I'm surprised to find myself bound with invisible ties and imaginary restraints. It's been a while since I've even tried to move, unbeknownst to me.

I tried to run
but could not
my legs entangled
with yesterdays
vines I grew
and wrapped myself

I didn't know
weeds in my garden
had gotten so
out of control
pruning & clearing
starts today

I am lucky
another yard
tempted my noxious growth
away
I've only damage control
and not extermination
to deal with

great govt scandals

hahahahaha gotta love our freedom to make fun of the people taking advantage
