I held him at arm's length.
It was a safer distance.
Any closer and I might
Lose all resistance.
Yes, that could happen.
I could close the gap
Let him move closer
Inch by inch
Until our eyes
Then our lips met.
What would come next?
If history is any indication
I could quiver
In various places.
My legs could weaken
My knees could buckle
I could end up a heap
Of arousal and emotion.
At arms soldier!
I must be stalwart
In my outlook!
Weakness is for losers!
But sometimes getting lost
Is the biggest comfort
And leads to unexpected
Adventures
And treasures!
Farewell to arm's lengths
This soldier now
Has a less civil job
As she pursues pleasures!

Morning Thoughts. A Poem

Morning comes early
My father used to say
Quoting a saying
That had become a cliche.
When the sun comes
To us night owls
We are tired
Of being sentries
To thought.
Clearly they need defending
But a rest might
Do them some good.
The light of day rejuvenating
Instead of glaring
And harsh.
Morning should be the gold standard
In rejuvenation
But to night owls
It may seem an imitation.
We need more hours
To get the real shine we need.
We need effing sleep!
For caffeine may offer
Some stimulation
It will wear a hole
In our stomach eventually
Or cause acid reflux
Yes an ulcer can be
A side effect.
Morning people
I would like to join you.
Have you room
On your bench?
Are you willing to share
In your outlook
That morning is precious
And should not be wasted?
That is all rhetorical
It is just a pep talk
To get me to change
To see the light of day
In a new way.
As a friend
Who greets me effusively
Instead of with disdain
For the error
Of my night owl ways.

Sending Out A Smoke Signal. A Poem

Where have you gone?
Have you gone on vacation
Or into hibernation?
Have you lost your voice?
Have you nothing to say?
How could that be?
You of the thousands of ideas
And millions of words.
Have you felt useless
That you were not being heard?
I am here now to tell you
I have missed you.
Your absence
Has left a void.
My inspiration has suffered
Without your words
To bounce off of!
I think I have made this foul
Cry of loss before
You came back then
Will this message reach you
Like an old fashioned smoke signal?
I guess time will tell.

Comfort Zone. A Poem

I have wanted to hide again.
He has put pressure on me
To step out of my comfort zone
How can I believe him?
I think it is a trap
A hole will appear
As I walk into it
Without seeing
Where I was going.
He will turn into the devil
Or at the least an ogre
Once he gets what he wanted.
All the promises false
Looking like sawdust
Or ice cream melted.
He will laugh
With wild abandon
Or perhaps
Just smirk
As I am dumbfounded.
How dare I
Be so naive
And gullible
In this day and age?
How dare I believe
That good and kind
And truthful men
Still exist
And are among us?
Its the hope that
I still cradle
Like a baby
In my chest
Rock a bye baby
Cry and let me know
You are real
And not imagined.
Cry to get my attention.
I know hope
You are the real thing
Who I should nurture
And not let starve!
If someone should diminish
Your worth
I shall be a fierce defender of yours.
When I find someone
Who values you
As much as I do
My comfort zone
Shall be enlarged
It will now encompass them.
They will give me
What I need
Again and again.
And my fondest hope
Offer reassurances.

Will He Be Easy? A Poem
|
Posted:May 6, 2018 8:42 pm
Last Updated:May 9, 2018 2:40 am

He would be easy
On my eyes
But how about my heart?
Will he easily
And seemingly
Be ensconced?
Without a tear?
That would so
Alleviate my fears.
His eyes are so mesmerizing
I know he has been told this
By many a woman
He counts them among
His best features.
Other men are
At a disadvantage.
They would need
To make up for it
In some fashion.
He has other
Outstanding qualities
That when combined
With his baby blues
Make him almost irresistible.
So easiness may not
Be the term I can associate
For long with him
As I am aroused
And my emotions swim.
My heart might swell
Like the sea
Waves of emotions
Might hit
And overcome me.
Cliches come easy
Why wouldn't they?
He is typical
Of the fodder
For a love song.
I can just imagine
Extolling his virtues
All day long.
So easy on the eyes
May not be
As easy as it seems
To other parts of me.
Will he be worth any agony?
That is the question
Yes indeed!

He Will Appear. A Poem

I keep thinking
That he will appear
Instinctively know
My strengths
And weaknesses.
Have a special way
Of dealing with me
Offering encouragement
And understanding.
He will know how
To get the best of me
He will coax it out
Like I am at times
A frightened .
Or he will temper my mood
If it is wild.
Ah yes I think
Of this man
Who might as well
Wear a cape
And star in a
Marvel adventure.
So extraordinary
Would be his nature.
But hope springs eternal
To spout a cliche
And the man of my dreams
Could be real
And appear someday.

Remiss. A Poem

I've been remiss.
Such an old fashioned word
With a timeless definition.
We all find ourselves
A subject of it's manifestation.
How remiss of me
How remiss of you
It is forgetfulness
That is regrettable.
Yes that is the essence
Regrettable forgetfulness
That we apologize for
If we truly know ourselves
Being remiss
Should be on speed dial
As we age
And time makes
For missed marks
In so many areas.

Waving From My Sunset Walk. A Poem

I told you the day
To get in touch with me
It had a Star Wars theme
So remembering it
Should have been
Rather easy.
But you shied away
Did not even return
My goofy text
May the Fourth be with you
Most other folks
I sent it to did.
My family and friends.
I know you are not taken
I see you on line
Every now and then
You did not change your status
That is what is the indication.
So now I guess
I should fade away
Walk off into the sunset
Become just a memory.
That is the role
I now have to play.
But knowing me
I will look back yearningly
And wave.

The Absence Of Your Message. A Poem

Posted:May 3, 2018 12:10 am

I guess you were busy.
I guess you were running late.
What else could it be
For you not to message me?
Surely you have not
Lost your interest
Given up on our friendship.
Surely there is some
Acceptable reason
That means you still care.
This absence of communication
Is just an aberration
That you will rectify
In short order
You will give me notice
Of your motives.
And all will be forgiven.
I would expect no less
From one of the best
Men and friends
I have ever had.
Yes I expect so much from you
But it is not something
I will force
Or demand.
I just know that
You are one kind
And caring man
And a kindred spirit.

Aroused By Pictures. A Poem

My you are sexy!
You get my blood pumping!
You get my juices flowing!
You do this
Without you knowing.
For it is an internal reaction
That remains out of view
I should say lucky for me
And how!
It could be so embarrassing
To see me so enthralled
But I hide behind my screen
On my computer or phone.
I am sure
You can relate
There is so much
Eye candy
Dessert aplenty
On the internet
Body parts
Some even with faces
All there to elicit
Sexual urges
And feelings.
They do a good job of it!
They are a hit!
They are a success!
They have revved my motor
More than a little bit!
Now I have to chill
Cool my jets
For these thoughts
Are not proper
And into trouble
I can get
If I let slip
How very turned on I am
All by a few pictures
On the internet.
Just think
It would be worse
If I were a man
Hiding the evidence
Of arousal
May take the skill
Of a magician
And a game of
Slight of hand!

Fate Decreed. A Poem
|
Posted:May 1, 2018 11:24 pm
Last Updated:May 9, 2018 2:44 am

|
I wonder if I still
Have it in me
To give my all.
I wonder if there is
Any willing
And available.
I have tried and tried
And failed and failed.
Do I have it in me
To reach out again?
Will it make me happy
Or just miserable?
Wouldn't you know
These questions are rhetorical?
Me myself and I
We will be the jury
Is there a hurry?
Perhaps as time
Keeps running
And lest I remain stationary
I will run afoul of destiny.
Ah! The ever elusive mate
Of my soul
That love songs tell me
I am owed!
Do I have it in me
For such a pursuit?
Before I get too old?
Where art thou Romeo
Or whatever incarnation
Of a name you go by?
Why is it only my fault
If we remain star crossed?
Can we take our displeasure
Up with a boss
Or authority
Up on high?
Alas my grievances
Of being lovelorn
Will be denied.
If only actions
Could be taken
By whomever
As if fate decreed.

Dearest May. A Poem

Goodbye April
Hello May
What would make
You the happiest
Of happy?
Having flowers
Come about
To sprout
And arrive
Upon the scene
A view to behold
Of nature's bounty?
This I do believe
Would be a
Happy occurrence!
It is expected surely.
But what else tickles
Your fancy?
Fine celebrations
For Mother's Day
And Memorial Day?
My dearest May
I know you are kind
And will not squander
The work of April
As you make way
For June
And months thereafter.
As a month
And a word
With such positive vibrations
Dearest May
I look forward to
Your signature celebrations!

A Fantasy To Stay In My Mind. A Poem
|
Posted:Apr 29, 2018 3:16 am
Last Updated:May 9, 2018 2:42 am

|
I could fall in love with him
He might even feel the same
But it would be in vain
It would just cause pain
As I know I can't live
Up to his or
Anyone's expectations.
Simply put I am a basket case.
My moods so fluctuate
I don't want to medicate
To make me seem even keel
Or nearer normal
At any rate.
I used to think
I had saving graces
My compassion
And my kindness
They were what defined me
But they hardly
Keep my sanity
As disappointment
And sadness bombard me.
I tnought I could fall in love
He is so very easy
On the eyes
I could drown in their depths
His voice husky from sleep
Would send me
Over the edge.
As much aa I would want him
It would just be a fling
He lives quite the distance.
He would be the one to travel
As I am unable at the moment.
I know that gets old.
I don't think
It will be worth it.
It is not fair and equitable.
All the possibilities
They will have to be set aside
Like many a fantasy
They will stay in my mind.
Maybe if he lived closer by
But I would still be
My messed up self
He deserves someone
So much better
Yes, that is the heart
Of the matter.
