West Is the Best

California
Sunny, warm 
Swimming, boating, sunning
Sky, airplane, ocean, seashells
Skiing, sledding, snowball throwing
Cold, blistery
New York City

Runaway With Me

Would you pack up and run away with me if I were to ask you to today?
Would you throw aside all the past? The turbulence we shared? Would you forget the screaming matches and remember what we shared?

If I dream of this; is there a chance that it may come true? The answer is too much time has passed, and there’s nothing more to say or do (unhappy face).

But I keep on hanging on, like a worn out Diana Ross song. I blame you; bellowing ”you just keep me hanging on”.

It seems I fell victim to the powers of your kiss. I treated you badly I didn’t realize how much I’d miss.

In this case there are no victims, there are only volunteers, and it seems you too fell ‘victim’, still loving me after all of these years.

I’d like to say I am sorry, but this is a worn out tune. I do have regrets. I blame it all on me. As they say it takes two to tango I wish now that I could see.

But then how could I be sorry to have loved so passionately? I am the lucky one, that someone too loved me.

I still ask would you run away with me? Take me to the justice one more time for a quiet ceremony?

Walk with me through life as if this is something we ever knew how to do. Accept the others faults with no backdoor to escape through.

Grow old and gray together family at our side, the American dream they call it a wild, bumpy ride.

All of the latter is something we will likely never know, but the passion once shared will surely never go.

Its electrical magnetic charge is etched upon my heart. Those times when we were young and would just do ‘it’ anywhere, that heat that drew us like flames we didn't have a care.

I ask again, would you run away with me?! Run away with me now!!! there’s no time to make haste. Life really is short we mustn't let it waste.

My beauty fades fast my love, my lines have become deep, my desires they are waning. Still my love for you I keep.

Run away with me my sweetheart I promise I’ll be fair. I will love you to the ends of time, more than you can bare.

Run away even if you have to wait until the dark of night. Run away with me my love make everything alright.

Someone Get the Door

Death knocks on the door
He is not cloaked with a sickle 
He only wants a slice

Amnesia

A mania she could not explain made her devise the plan:
No one could know where or what place she may have gone
If so, I’m not sure they’d tell; conclusions would be drawn:
Tomorrow, perhaps an answer will come, before the setting sun; but,
Really does it matter to anyone? Are we not all out of ‘town’? 
Actually, yes I think it matters for many; especially matters to one.

Little Mysterious Girl

Something about her smile, the way it lights up her face
A quiet way about her; she treasures her personal space:
Reminds me of myself way, way back when 
A quiet one, all the while knowing, knowing women and men:
Her quiet observations, her inner mystery will not be solved easily

Woman

October 21, 2014
Woman
Flower
Beautiful color
Growing
Rain, she shimmers
Unmoved
Nightfall, she sleeps under the moon
Peaceful
Sunrise, she opens wide and soaks
Heat.
Powerful, scorching, feminine energy
Flowing.
Running through her blue veins
Rhythm
In and out, ever-changing
Turbulent 
“Delicate” flower stands
Tall.
Sequoia Tree
Firmly rooted into the Earth.
Boughs reaching to the heavens
Leaves fall
Life begins anew 
Birth
Goddess formidable and skilled

Just Lacey

Little angel came to me just before the dawn
A screech she did exhale followed by a yawn:
Charismatic, joyful happy soul shared her life with me
Every single day, month that has gone by: 
Years she shines sunlight in my eye

These Are the Masks of Our Lives

They call it putting your face-on 
Which face fits for today?
Church face? Work face? School face? 
Shaved face? Waxed face? Maybelline eyes?
Hey woman don’t be a bitch, nice girls they don’t gripe
Man child be strong don’t you ever, ever, ever stop to cry
It’s fine dining night. It’s time to put on your fancy face.
Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing
Heaven forbid you feel out of place.

Societal Prescription I

Living the lap of luxury all that glitter isn’t gold
Whatever ‘retail therapy’ provides is not worth the soul
Compassion mixed with a dash of guilt thinking of the ‘have not’s
But it is not enough to stop waiting at the door for the UPS drop-offs
Money, greed, power these are the values of today
Torn between love of man or feeding the cliché’
Keep up with the Jones’ bombards the airwaves, everything airbrushed in between 
When all looks just so, she’s a size 2, he’s GI Joe, and baby completes the scene
Then you will have ‘arrived’ so this is what ‘they’ say

Contradiction

Contradiction (September 30, 2014) by Danitra David
I want…
I want to save the world; yet I buy 1k shoes (contradiction)
I really don’t believe in organized religion, but if I’m in a jam believe it is “In Jesus name Amen” (contradiction?)
I like to believe I’m not racist, but I complain about feeling surrounded by only one ‘race’ (contradiction)
I want to be understood, but do I seek to understand (hypocritical, contradiction).
I long to have compassion for my fellow man’ yet at times I am literally disgusted by our connection (contradiction)
I want to age gracefully; yet I want to change my face (contradiction)
I want to lose weight, but I know I am perfect just the way I am (you guessed it contradiction)
I want to paint. To try my hand at improve. I want to give my time. Travel, love, laugh.  I doubt my capabilities knowing I can do most anything I set my mind to (contradiction).
I dream of romance. I wish to ease other’s pain. I cry at movies. I hide this. I don’t perpetuate this, so do I really want? (contradiction)
I could go on with dozens more examples. Life is one big contradiction. A state and we are all mere players blindfolded by bullshit! 
I want to see this as clear as day, yet ignorance may be bliss.
