madness

obsession, distraction, confusion,
compassion, kindness, acceptance
what is new?

here before
smiling,
playing,
lifting lids,
cautious start,
opened up,
just to chat,
not to stay,
sinking dread,
running scared.

always dancing,
never romancing,
fool to leave,
mind to make,
chains will break.

F.U.C.K.

This is hilarious. Kudos to the person who came up with the punchline!

F.U.C.K is an acronym that means Fornication Under the Consent of King. Because in the past to get married in England you had to get Royal Approval. So the real proposal for marriage was "Will You Fuck Me?".

it s a momentary thing

I do not know
if anything ever lasts
would this moment
be a faded memory
in a distant past
only thing i know
this moment
this rush
like the quiet before a storm
makes me feel alive
and i will live it
... every second of it.

For a new friend, even if we don't date

When you approach me
i want you
to make it easy for me
i want you
to know that i get you
i want you
to know that when i don't
i will listen & try to understand

When you are with me
i want you
to be yourself, truly you
i want you
to be free to express your thoughts
feelings dreams everything

At all times
i want you
to be confident that when you are vulnerable
i will not hurt you
i want you
to know that you can take my hand
because it has been extended
i want you
to know that you are welcomed
t0 play in my sand box with me
rain or shine

All because
i want you
to be nearer
i want you
close enough
to hear my heart beat
to know that i am equally
wanting to be the same
with you.
