After Being with You

being with you
being with you means more than how it feels to be with you. being with you also means how it feels after being with you.

i love how i feel after being with you.

after being with another one could be left with emptiness, an aftertaste, a bittersweetness. one could be left torn and scattered, and then scramble to reassemble. one could be depleted or perhaps confused. one could feel nothing at all.

but i love how i feel after being with you.

i am cleaner, richer, sweeter. i am more peaceful, more content, deeper into my own self.

i am become more of who i am.

when one leaves another whole, and complete, the coming together was as it should be.

when one is left closer to who she is on the inside, when she is left full not of another but of her own self, the joining is pure.

i am at home when i am with you.

and i love how i feel after being with you.

I've lost my touch in blogging. I haven't been devoted to this blog as intended. But it is a new year, and I plan on being more active.

How long has it been since someone touched part of you other than your
body?

Then versus Now

Then, you weren’t very patient
Now, now you want me to hold on
Then, we had long lingering lunches
Now, it is quick coffee visits
Then, I would receive text messages every morning, we would stay up late and talk on the phone for hours, emails would fill up my inbox every day
Now, I’m lucky if I hear from you
Then, you use to love it when I wrote about you
Now, you wish to keep my poems in secret
Then, I could feel your eyes adoring me
Now, you barely notice the affection that I have for you
Then, I would fall asleep thinking of you
Now, the memories are just too painful to remember
Then, the smell of your skin lingered on me
Now, I can’t recall the taste of your lips
Then, oh yes Then, I would do or give anything to see and be with you
Now, I surrender

Everyone sing, "Happy Birthday to Me!"

Today was a fantastic day, because IT was my birthday!


Bring on the Cake and Presents please!

I'm a godmother, that's a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me God for short, that's cute, I taught her that.

D E S I D E R A T A

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly;
and listen to others,the dull & ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain & bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career,
however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing future of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity & disenchantmentit is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.
Beyond wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees & the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him [sic] to be,
and whatever your labours & aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
