DO NOT DISTURB


DO NOT DISTURB
she's creating a poem, a story
words,
words,
words,
go ahead, keep talking
silently in her chair
she's listening
to every word you say
words,
words,
words,
burning up her key board
go ahead, keep talking, she's amused
maybe, she might make you her muse
words,
words,
words,
go ahead, keep talking
while she silently, sits in her chair
words,
words,
words,
writing her story
in your heart
haunting your brain
DO NOT DISTURB
she's creating a poem, a story,
while she silently, sits in her chair.

The Monkey in our Brain



Social Network allows:

- a young person, to appear grown.
- a married man, to act like Casanova.
- high school drop-outs, to appear
brilliant, just by the action of copy & paste. 
- old women to appear lustrous.
- old men to act childishly & witty.
- the impotent ones, to be wise & sexy.
- lost souls, to be the poet of love. 

- Cold hearts, seem evolve. 
In ten years, I hope we all believe, what we pretend to be, 

on social network, instead of the monkey in our brain.― LRAEBROWN

Just As I Am


I love this chapter, of Me. 
This calm lull, of being in the moment. 
I’m neither sad or happy. 
I’m not in love or heart broken. 
I long for no one, nor am I lonely. 
My heart is at rest, for once. 
I’m not expecting or giving. 
I’m not aching, nor am I elated. 
There’s no yearning for the unknown. 
There’s no sadness.
Like an amber in the fire, calmly burning.
There’s no unplanned spark stirring. 
Nor the desire to light a match. 
Or a dance.  
This stillness in my heart is so rare.
Like a beautiful perennial blooming.
I can’t help but take enjoyment, 
in the scent.
I’m at peace, just as I am.
I love this chapter, of Me. 
I'm at peace...with me.
