Mundane evening
persistently teasing lovers
sitting on a comfy couch.
Fluctuating TV screen

You,
go ahead
push open the gates
they're not locked
they're waiting for you
You,
who years ago
betrayed me with a kiss
a lie, cheated and lay with her
You,
look in the mirror
and heal thyself . . .

A perfectionist
biting nails
breathing inside the oyster
turning pages of
self-defeating thoughts
with fear of disapproval
if others see their flaws

It is involuntary.
We cannot will ourselves to stop.
But we can will ourselves to breathe faster or slower.
But even this feat cannot last forever.
In the end, we must trust enough . . .

Truth,I love you
Give me your total space.
I know you love not one but two,
Both the princess beauty and
The queen goodness.

I need an extreme makeover
I want to take over
My body
And give it instruction
On it’s function.

youth's first bloom
a tall 5-year-old

promised hope
no longer child, but . . .

their long list of faults,
we should stop and list our own.
Compare the notes with,
who we judge;
We will soon see they aren't alone.
It seems so easy to,
