So, I'm Told

 

Trying to get a hold onto me.

Anyone can see a ploy, to have a look-see.

Surely, you don’t mind how it should be?

Privacy and self-determining are key.

Everyone else is on your must-see.

Many of us are very dissimilar, wouldn’t you agree?

Gotta Know When

Gotta Know When

To play your cards.

Instinctively you can gain rewards

Keep them close at the ready

A steady hand is worth plenty.

Words or deeds are in your stable

Makes the moment very able.

If you’re asleep at the wheel,

At that point in time being

caught in the twine,

Undoubtedly, that lapse…will break the deal.

I’m Working on It

This can be said in many instances, since we were born it’s a constant persistence.

Figuring out character traits is a huge subsistence. Eventually being diligent and real becomes a personal existence.

Everywhere you turn that phrase can be attained, hopefully with the least resistance.

At work on a task or home on a project, with the urging of your partners insistence.

Hopefully, at a ripe old age we’re still pensive and knowing…

“I’m working on it.”

Sequestered Within Walls

It seems more times than not social settings get the best of me, never the entertainingly gabby type in any backdrop, tough to navigate.

As the internal time clock ticks away,

Be it family, friends or neighbour’s interactions words and stories have their way of repeating the cycle that always drones on.

Talk and chatter are fine for the garrulous!

What about the lone introvert that stays inwardly, less revealing and private in disposition? Being in the minority for sure lends to disquietude.

All being said and done, voices will continue their path, as the walls provide no escape.

What did you Expect?

Situations full of neglect

Working past overtime

Hardly increasing a dime.

Kids in dreamland, need to be home

Sometime.

Wife’s thinking, “need me time,”

Schooling, cooking, tending to

All matters wearing thin, blending

Both sides of the union.

Patience has its timetable

Can seem never ending

Father believes in direction.

Flawed evaluation,

Time away leads to decay.

At some point cannot stay

Lost opportunities of insights,

As life’s progressions evaporate.

Chasing The Dream

A dream hunt can wear you down. Beware of the naivety that can possibly take hold. This calls for one to be extremely bold. Dreams are made up of hopes and hard work, diligence and the sense of no turning back. Best scenario is the dream comes true.

One needs to maintain the sensibility of knowing and accepting when the chase needs to pull down the curtain. The realization that either it is achieved or will not be accomplished is a true test of wisdom, courage and strength

Priorities that live on the path must prevail. Fooling oneself is a disastrous waste of time and effort, especially when others are depending on your success. To chase is realistic, to be real is the authentication of the true self.

Mending Fences

Sometimes a need to fix is ordered.

Differences of opinions and misunderstandings take on of a life of its own.

Who's to say is the bigger or the chosen person to initiate?

Priority rules, necessity dictates person, time and place.

One needs to pick up the hammer drive in the first nail to begin the reviving of a link.

As fences and time bear their brunt of attrition, so can relationships.

All it needs is to tend with an unbarred heart, accepting the tools of benevolence.

Then the road ahead is defined.

Parody Post: Crooked Eye

Don’t look now but is that

A stye in the eye?

It looks uneven could it

Be a shift in attitude?

Or maybe a frown and

A squint of discontent!

Hopefully it’s not a deviation

Of 20/20 balance.

Upon examining closely into this

Quandary, it seems that

The vision is as skeptical as…

It’s identity!

Too Much Talk

 

Too Much Talk

Considerable amount of squawk

Ends up leading one to walk.

Considering what’s at hand

Deciding what’s best for the frock.

Directions, entertainment, nourishment

Should be voiced with authority not

Sleepwalk.

All good intentions, ultimately resulting

In fine assessment.

An Original

In this copycat world it's a curious happening as you look around and see reproductions everywhere.

From personal look-alike styles, colors, clothing and attitudes, speech and actions...it's endless.

Makes you wonder where is the thought of being genuine?

Oh, but there are originals somewhere, it's that they're being camouflaged by aspiring replicas.

It may be time to visit the nearest auction house to certify, if possible some sense of…

  Authenticity!

Take Notice

Always wise to be present.

Being absent minded is no

Way to represent.

Living idly means missing the show.

Wonderful gifts of nature

Trees, Sun, Rain or Snow.

Seeing and feeling is the way to go.

Emotions set free enabling,

One’s heart to overflow.

Giving and sharing makes the journey

Bountiful.

Giving time and attention to being a

Good listener in times of strife.

Unless one is open minded and aware,

The gifts surrounding us go to the

Blind.

Lift the head up, gathering all encompassing

The only way to absorb life’s…

Portrait.

Distance Between Us

Even though there is distance between us, it's not a defining concern.

This does not bring an end to all.

Unless this is what you wish.

We can accomplish wonderful deeds from a distance.

It could be the motivating and decisive element of sincerity.

Shrink that compass to a mere afterthought.

It's the realization that the commitment to any concern,

Closes the distance between us.

What is the Plan

First review, it's not a scam.

Are we going forward or…

Leaning backwards towards a jam.

Even though it's not on paper

May have to ask you to immediately scram.

The intent needs to always be

A partaker, never a faker.

Needless to say, life is what you make it.

Being keen on someone may render,

Vitally needed litmus paper.

Mirror Image

Mirror Image

There is not a chance it’s blurred.

Can two people be of such an accord?

May it lend to being bored…

Appearances almost identical.

Dark eyes, features of length and bone.

Mannerisms of undisguised reproduction.

Although quite unique, the mirror is not an end all.

Looking glass is only cosmetic tracing

that is offered.

Can the true self contain a mirror image,

Internally as well?

Cover Up

Before it's too late.

Easy to take the bait.

Truths be told gets very old.

Openness can be a confess.

May need to be consoled

All part of the process.

Duck behind the hurt,

Need to be that bold.
