Seven. I cant remember when the last time I had sex.

Six. How in the world will we thrive?

Five. Survive the foul odor?

Four. The smell hung in the air unrelenting-ly.

Three. I can see from here the road youll travel.

Two. The last gravel drive.

One… then there was none

Blueberry crush dripping purple juice across the white linen cloth.

Chocolate covered cherries with stems scattered across the lace layered fabric.

Peach gush fountain with splattered droplets sticky sweet.

Orange tango dancing sour circles around the tongue.

Rewriting Memory

if time listened to me

I’d ask it to give me more time

so that all the happy memories feel strong longer

and last longer

to the point my soul would feel sublime

if time heard my reasons

then all the melancholic days would be a blast

everything sad would then be on the upside

with great…

This isn’t a competition.

There is room for more than one.

Actually, there’s room for everyone.

You are creating the lack

in your imagination.

Remember the loaves and fishes?

If we share,

there is always enough.

Rewriting Memory

There comes a time when we cross a certain threshold

Like reaching higher ground and seeing the road behind

It’s as if the map we held had several detours

Some were needless while trying to find peace of mind

And maybe those diversions were necessary

Sometimes guidance and advice will fall on deaf ears

But we…

An emotional abyss.

Struck by passion but drowning in apathetic tides of mediocrity.

Grief or love, they walk hand in hand.

Friend stay close

I see you.

Am I falling behind?

Sometimes it feels that way.

Maybe I just need to unwind,

discover more ways to play.

°

Sometimes the pressure

sneaks up on me—

before I know it,

it’s there.

This is when I need to “just be”

before life becomes more than I can bear.

Rewriting Memory

Maybe the voice of reason I heard in those days

Was my own in the future traveling back in time

And maybe the memory now in the present

Are the restless trolls I once tried to keep in line

But something sounds so much clearer and different

As if the years fine-tuned the…

Spend time with nothing.

Spend time doing nothing.

Our fear of laziness

prevents us from accomplishing

something out of nothing.

There is more potential in doing nothing

than in doing something.

Something comes from nothing.

Without nothing,

there would be nothing.

Because of nothing—

we have something.

We shouldn’t be so quick to…

Rewriting Memory

I’ve said it many times, over, and over again

Guilt is a needless load to carry forever

The solution comes in asking for forgiveness

Or you else can’t go on happily with new endeavors

And though it’s all in the past you never forget

Understanding that there are life lesson which never end…

Rewriting Memory

Blink…I blinked slowly and the years went by

faster than anything I could have imagined

Reminiscing about those old wistful days

envisioning the now and how it happened

In dash a lot of memories come back

like a bright flash of lightning lighting the road

Every synapse and neuron…

Look towards the sky.

The heavens declare the wonders of the universe.

If you gaze long enough,

you will find yourself in the stars.

If you listen long enough,

you will understand the ways of the moon.

If you reflect long enough,

you will see your light in the radiance of the sun.

From a certain perspective,

Limited.

Hard.

Travel the path.

Walked.

Step.

Education sets stones.

Unmoved.

Are you

a friend

or foe?

I still don’t know.

Should I trust you

or not?

What if

you’re all I’ve got?

°

I’m not sure

what to think anymore.

Should I still

be keeping score?

If I learn

to release?

Will I find

some peace?

°

If I let go?

Will it help me

to grow?

Rewriting Memory

The mutual understanding between kindred spirits

It’s like a language spoken at a higher plane

Even in silence there’s respect and admiration

When in retrospect we know we all felt the same

Amidst reverence and passionate veneration

There’s also a devotion that consumes the soul

As if…

What you call delusional,

What you call crazy,

I know I challenge

your long held assumptions.

It’s not out of malice;

it’s simply my nature.

You might think I’m sadistic;

that I enjoy watching you squirm.

When the truth is:

I’d love to relieve you of your discomfort.

A not so rewritten Memory

Maybe it was the weight of time on my shoulders

Or the peace I’ve been trying to attain for years

But upon taking the step to close the chapter

I finally learned to deal with old doubts and fears

Maybe it’s the decades of molding and shaping

Therapies, seminars, classes or books I’ve read

Or the…

Look around.

What do you see?

Can you feel the magic

swirling around me?

°

The night was long,

but the day has come.

We can relax now;

the war is won.

We’ve lived on the edge

between two realities.

But now we can unwind

and let ourselves be at ease.
