If I’m worth Losing, Lose me.
I have Limits worth acknowLedging. Ask me. Then Listen.
Not to be taken so LiteraLLy, but to be understand beyond words.

P.S. Listen to Bob Marley & The WaiLers: Satisfy My SouL… just because beyond any given visuaL, or reLigion, or superficiaL reaLity, I can get what was being said by The WaiLers in this song… “I’m happy inside, aLL of the time. Can’t you see, why won’t you beLieve me? Oh DarLing, darLing, I’m caLLing, caLLing. Satisfy My SOuL.”
I’m Bob in this song, and the background singer/ dancers, and the Band. No video necessary. smiLe.
“PoLLution is aLL around me. My soLution Lies there in cLear air.”
“… is it a crime, that i stiLL want you, and I want you to want me too. TeLL the truth about it.”
I Look around, in search of…

This is aLL spoken in the softest, most suLtry voice you can imagine.
There is nothing tough about it.
You’re not aLone. Are you tough enough for Love?
It was aLways you and me. I aLways needed a tougher Love.
I cuLtivate it. With every part of my being.
It’s a new day and I know you’re trying.
You’re not there if I have to wait.

Acute Strangeness

I received a Letter from Him,
in His own handwriting.
Somehow, he is so deserving of my Love?
Hmmmmm. Mmmmmm.
Let me think about that.

P.S. My present temper…
this is not just a faLse pretense.
There is so much more to this story.
Years of respect and patience surface.
He asks questions that matter.
Even those that don’t.
I excavate, I dig.
I’m Listening. Becuz such simpLe things Leave imprints.
He is the most gaLLant Man I know. With the most integrity.
He has moraLs and exercises his wiLL with exceLLent discrimination.
As I change, as I fLow.
I am teLLing you how to save her.
How to save YOU.
PLease do.

I want you to be my baby…

They tried to bury her, but she kept on giving birth …

There are some women that love to see me coming,
there are some that don’t.
Wherever you fall between these extremes,
I can see you, and I feel you.
No hard feelings, at all.
Light and Lovely,
as the seed from which I came,
… the roots that burrow deep towards the center of the Earth,
the water that falls, telling the stories of my creation,
nourishing, the roses that bloom…
“They climb stairwells and ladders
to explore the depths of her mind.
They feed from her being on the bottom
only to realize that they exalt her,
to the most high.”

Happy Birthday, Mother Rose.

… so close to understanding, so close to understanding, so close to understanding…
the center, the Source.
Reject the extremes. Balance.
You don’t have to ask when you know. Be real silent.
He knows.

I luv what I see,
but I marry what I understand …
which is, my observation over time of the relation of causes to effects.
Sometimes my flowers don’t grow in your desert, yet
find relief in my unconditional luv 4 you,
then let go.
Call.
When you hesitate, you suffocate yourself in your own arid conditions …
… and you know I’m made of water.
