Painting castles in the sky

When I looked up
I saw this momentary empty space
All blue, and for miles
All I could see was blue
A deep blue colorful sky

Then I thought to myself
That I would paint castles in the sky
In the middle
I would paint my mom at the window
Looking out at the garden

In the one to the left
I would paint
My dad in the garden
Wiping his brow after
Planting another rose

Then all around
I would paint castles
Some big
Some small
Some tall
Some short
In various colors
With the background of the sky

And in the many windows
I would paint my friends
Enjoying the afternoon breeze
As they drift in the winds
In their castles in the sky

The joy of asking

Being afraid to ask
Is like an enigma
With added attached stigma
Of fearing
Being told that the answer is no

Such her plight
As she sat crying
In the dark
Hoping against hope that someone would give
Her a bit of their time

For all she wanted was a moment
Wherein someone would share
A moment of
What seemed like another eternally lonely day

Its not that her friends knew
She was lonely
For how could they know
That she would be alone on such a bright sunny hour
Of the day

But then
All she had to do is ask
But she never did
Because she did not want to seem
Needy

In the worse case the answer will be yes
And all her friends would come over
And the house would resound
With laughter and warmth

Best case it might be no
And she would be left
Alone with her thoughts

But until she dared to ask
She would surely never know
And in that moment
Before the sun dared to set
She picked up the phone and asked
Her friends to come over
For she was alone
And feeling alone

And in that moment
She knew
There could also be joy
In opening up her heart to love
And asking her friends to come
Over and spend time with her
Shielding her from the cold winds of loneliness

And she learn t the joy of asking
And how to ask
for love
for forgiveness
Then she realized
The true joy and humility
In asking

Pro Rating of a Love

I have since learnt
That somethings you can never pro-rate
Like love
You give what you can
When you can
And then some more
Because in the game of life
You can never really love
Or be loved
Until you give
All you have
and them some
Without the expectation
That you will get some
back in return

This moment

In the distance
I could clearly see
Amidst what seemingly were grey clouded skies
Rays of sunshine passing through
And in an instant
A tan intense ray of light
Fell upon my face

Instinctively I thought to seek shelter
But in a moment of hesitation
I decided to not
And the memory of that moment
Became etched on my forearm
And upon my face
For I could feel the intensity of hot sunlight upon my skin

In that one moment of hesitation
I was able to celebrate
The gift of light
As the energy of the sun
Rushed through my being
And I felt at one
With mother nature
And reminded my self
Yet again
That in moments of despair
Moments of rapture will present themselves
Opening up dark skies to let light in


We may have just one moment
To decide whether to savor a moment
Or hide, or wait
For another moment
A moment that may, or may not come
But this moment is here
To be celebrated
Even for just a moment

Kissing Ass on a Thursday

Then you ask yourself

As if on a whim

When options may be too slim

Whether you would take that chance

And perhaps kiss ass on a Thursday

 

It is not that you would never do it

Or that you should do it

Even if you could do it

The opportune

Time may not arise

To kiss an ass on a Thursday

Sing O my Soul

And in the morning

You  wake up

With bared soul

And your heart sings

In Jubilation

As love engulfs your naked soul

 

Far from the maddening  crowds

There is a seam bursting feeling

Within your soul

And your heart naturally opens wide

Baring your inner soul

And then you know

It is that time

To let love take control

When love finds you

As if by chance
You will walk along life's pathway
And when you least expect it
Even from quarters familiar
Love will find you wanting
And give you one more chance
to dance the jig of romance

Never stop searching
Though your days be wanting
And your tender soul
May be lacking
The warmth and comfort
That it so needs
Just when you would surrender
To thoughts of lost love forever
Love will bring you one last chance
To dance the jog of romance

So in life you should always
Be prepared
More so for the unexpected
Than what may be expected of you
For life will always bring you
One more chance at romance

One big orgasmic poem

It may be time

To get that ultimate

High

That beckons from

Living a fulfilled life

For 'tis calling your name

With echoes of words

That will drive you insane

Encouraging you

to get that one big

Orgasmic High

You don't even need a reason

Why

To get high on life

'Tis the ultimate of highs

Resolve to be happy

De-clutter your life

De-magnetize and lose the negative clutter

De-emphasize things that are negative

Develop truly loving relationships

Do exercise

Do eat healthy

Remember your body is a temple

Treat it with dignity and love

Resolve to love

It is not uncommon

Seeing bodies in action

Working out at the gym

To some new found rhythm

Motivated by desires

Oftentimes inspired

By societal pressures

Coupled with a jest for new ventures

As a new year often brings

The zest for new things

 

But for this year

I pray

Let love guide your way

Let this be the year

Of love

And the year to love

The year to be motivated by

Nothing but love

'08, the year of Love

Let 08

Be the year of love

When you give love

Share love,

Find love

Feel love

Show love

Embrace love

When there is love

Nothing really can go wrong

Imadon @ 2000 & love
