Am I okay with being a temporary fling?
When I see the potential of so much more between us?
We feel right together.
Yet there are problems.
There are always problems.
Are these problems insurmountable or just annoying?
Should I push to have these worked out
or just ignore them and stay with the status quo?
The luxury of sitting outside
sipping coffee
watching the cats and kittens play.
Simple pleasures soothe the soul
getting you ready to face the expected heat wave.
Rush to the Center
Grieve your sour hearts.
Gift the Friendship
to the ones who Fail Cheese.
Hark to the Angelic Voices
Which flow from the River Styx.
No one is the fellowship
of the Traveling Shirt
because it would be Smelly.
I get surprised.
An event happens
that I was not expecting.
A generosity, a hug or even a smile
to make my life better.
Though sometimes things happen
that try to ruin my day.
If I let them
I get into a bad mood.
So instead I try to see the positive in the negative.
Or like my cats if there is a glass half full
I’ll just push it off the table.
A stick with bristles
to smooth out the knots.
A thing that works so simply.
Fur or hair or yarn,
even plastic wigs and hair extensions.
A trick used through out all our times.
To comb through matted fur
or wipe off a stubborn dirty spot
brushes are here to stay.
If you have hair, a brush is a must.
When you are spending time
with your ex-boyfriend
and wonder if you are “just” friends.
What happens when he no longer wants
to hang with you?
Would you want to return to being
a couple again?
Why does he think he has your
undivided attention?
Are you still in love with him?
Do you yearn for the day
he says he wants more
or are you fine with the status quo?
Time moves at its own pace.
Never too slowly
and never too fast.
We as humans perceive the passage of time
as a fault or the enemy.
Never fast enough
or way too fast.
Never do we relax and just enjoy the moment
when time passes in its own accord.
Nothing is right.
No thoughts form properly.
Can I be coherent?
Mumbling is my main communication pattern.
I do not want to think.
I want to crawl back in bed and curl up,
hiding from the world today.
Depression hits me hard.
Perseverance drains me completely
and it is only the beginning of the day.
My Financial Woes are Legendary.
I may be better off than others I know
but I still struggle mercilessly to survive
and provide for those reliant on me.
When I thought things looked up
all I have to do is look at my bank account
and then I’ll start to cry.
Money, Time, Energy.
Nothing is forever. Nothing.
So what do we do.
Build a monument
that hopefully will last?
A book about our times
that may end up a classic?
What about loving your life
and those that are in it?
Comfort is our enemy sometimes
making it harder to break free of the norms.
If nothing lasts forever
what about today?
What shall we do today?
