Me Day

A slow lazy day of time for me

is no trip to the spa and salon,

but moments taken consecutively

for a languishing bath, potions galore,

eyebrows plucked, toenails groomed,

make-up, hair, Burberry perfume,

my favorite blouse,

Time
There has to be a light
Somewhere,
A light that I've not seen,
A light that parts life and loss,
That goes beyond between...

There has to be a door
Somewhere,
Upon which I have not knocked,
A door that opens just for me,
That never

Before the coming of daylight

While the creatures of night still stir

I awaken refreshed, energized and emboldened

With creative thoughts all a-blur

~=OUR CREATION=~

Could this be?

Can I make time for me?

Shall it be in dollars for all to see?

My vessel holds my truth a lifetime I behold is me!

~(i)~

I am as you a star

Of all the truth we are

Gathered from life creating time-stars

Soul full of memories not one to reminiscent with
Room full of people not one to be friends with
When many becomes the norm and rare is looked down upon
What is a man to do but to bare himself to be frown upon
The pain is self

Epilogue:

Life spills out in ribbons like blood from an actor forgotten in the volumes of century worn experience and played out stages

All for the voyeur these parts were made to create diligently the
valence of our times

Out there in the rat race
How come you only make time
for your self when something
goes wrong and you have to get
it seen to, or at best for
a bunch of days out of every
three hundred and sixty?

Do your weekends really count?

Timeless

Commitment to a team effort.
Timeless.

A hobby where the time flies,
Timeless.

Patience with tasks and people,
Timeless.

Listening to others with compassion,
Timeless.

Behavio r in the present minus measuring,
Timeless.

Rhyming!

I see you like a little rhyme,
I do it almost all the time,
linking this word with another,
seeking subtle though I smoother,

many lines with clunking rhymes,
but as I grow so will my lines...
come waffle in the waffle thread,

Sunday morning, lazy day
wondering what to do today
read the papers, lie in bed
or let your mind just drift instead
no interest in a shopping spree
maybe rise and make some tea
stagnate a while before 'the box'
or try to match up the

Private Party

-and you'll not invited

No one but me here floating in my happiness, I'm so high loving myself

I'm having a private party.

Being Selfish

Making time for myself,
It feels as if I am being selfish
I hide away from the rest

Being Selfish
I turn the music up
I tune them out

Being self
I make time for myself
Watching, making sure my sanity
It is well in tact

Under a tree or
By the sea
I will wait
For you to find me

And I will write
All that is true
So others may think
It's all fantasy
