Our presence can be felt more deeply 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

There are many that feel comfort

With a hug and a touch of the hand

Whether it’s our family

Most tactile people will understand

A cat nestled on your lap

As we stroke the fur

Without words we communicate

As we listen to them purr

When words do not suffice

Our presence can be felt more deeply

If we convey our feelings

Our touch is felt more sweetly

The book touching by Ashley Montagu

The human significance of skin

I would highly recommend to anyone

As this book is a sure win

Our language is often overlooked

When we communicate with others, we love

Our touch is greatly appreciated

Especially from those who are deprived of

Just what in life will you bring? 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I have a better understanding of where I am going

After what I have been through

Experience teaches us you don’t love a woman because she’s beautiful

She’s beautiful because you love her – true

I trust in Lao Tzu

On Ways to flourish

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength

While loving someone deeply gives you courage”

Having a good heart

And knowing how to use

If love is the beauty of the soul

Then the only question is how and when do we choose?

Time and effort are needed

To cultivate the art of the soul

How do you measure your success?

How do you pay the toll?

Make a decision

Live by the will

If you pass the Rubicon

Only your doubt will stand still

Life is a mystery

But if I am certain of anything

It is better to give than it is to receive

Just what in life will you bring?

It warms my heart 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

It warms my heart

When you express yourself to me

The excitement of a new job

A new opportunity

Not sure why I seek this connection

I seem to be drawn to you

I yearn to be close

Another déjà vu

Been three months since New Year’s days eve

It was such a great night

But I’m not sure what to believe

From the day I took notice

You have been in my heart and on my mind

Only wanting to know you better

But I think there were things about yourself you didn’t want me to find.

Did I form a trauma bond?

Or was it more than hypnotic empathy?

The connection for me was real

If I misunderstood, then please forgive me 

I do find joy in the feelings that you share

Your well-being means something to me

What is hard is that I see the internal conflict

And then I also see you respond positively

I know if you wanted something more

You would let me know

Whether you consider me a friend

Or whether you consider me a beau

True beauty never changes 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

True beauty, never changes

Only in our experience that we observe, we may realize

The Sufi’s describe this to see “the face of God“

When the mind can filter and allow us to recognize

It’s one thing to view a beautiful sunset over the ocean

And another to look upon someone you love

One by grace from God

One a relationship as a hand fits into a glove

Are they gifts? 

Or is one a dance?

A recognition?

A happenstance?

Beauty can be found almost anywhere

For those who are blessed to see

Even in the mind of the blind

If you touch, you can feel, if you hear than you too, will be!

You might ask how I come to know this

What doctrine, what Mystic, what Sage do I believe?

I only know in my own experience

When I give of myself I will receive

I am not at the center of the universe

I can see the beauty in helping others in need

The Centurion Longanus, who stuck the spear into Jesus on the cross

Had his sight restored as he watched the Christ bleed

I’ll prove every day that you can trust me

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I once told you

That I didn’t know if I could complete you

But what I didn’t say

Was even more true

I would never stop trying

That is if we agree

To make something out of it

I’ll prove every day you can trust me

I know these thoughts seem impulsive

But these words, I must speak

I feel a strong connection

As this is what I seek

I luv the way you express yourself

When discouraged you say you were mortified

When happy you light up like you have been electrified

Just a few of the reasons for my attraction

You’ve read my poems so you must be aware

I’m sending you these messages

Because I truly do care

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I’m not sure just where I am heading

But I am certain I know where I’ve been

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail

To know where and when I begin

Mama told me yeah she told me

About Sunday school and sin

Sometimes it’s best to know how to lose

Before you think you know how to win

Can’t say I’ve always done the right thing

But I can say I know I have tried

Better to be honest and truthful

Then to lie when you confide

I don’t expect much from the world anymore

But I do expect more from me

I believe in self sacrifice

But I also believe in reciprocity

Only takes two shakes of a Lamb‘s tail

My mama used to say to me

But now I am on my own

And I will see what I will see

I believe in having a strong moral character

One to navigate the moral tide

Without such a compass

the soul is likely to hide

If you see what I can see 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Love is patient

Love is kind

Love is forgiving

Love is blind

I want to see the sorrow behind your smile

I want to understand your motivations

The reason for the silence 

The feeling of your sensations

I want to be the remedy

The medicine that can heal

I want to bring you tears of joy and happiness

I want to make you feel

I ask for nothing in return

As for this, I do not know why

There is something deep inside of me

That makes me want to try

You may call it empathy

This connection I feel between us

It is not completely selfless

Because, because, because, because 

Maybe your smile was Cupid‘s arrow

Maybe it’s not meant to be

You wouldn’t blame me for trying

If you see what I can see

The secret of my affection 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I don’t make any assumptions

I’m accepting of who you are

The beauty of this arrangement

That I am closer to you and not that far

I believe in you

This girls got something

It just doesn’t fade

She’s gotten moxie

She’s got it in spades

The secret of my affection

Scarcity makes it more valuable

This currency of our emotions

This investment of the soul’s capital

The secret of my affection

Is a gift of heart and not a trade

I give it willingly

It is not something made

The secret of my affection

Doeth not have any agenda

Only to communicate how I feel

Follow your heart and do what it tells you

It’s up to you on how you will deal

Converging destiny’s that may collide

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

A ray of sunlight dances on your head

In through the blinds a beam of light splits the night

As you lay upon your bed

The fragrance of your hair

The touch of your skin

Would almost guarantee

The defiance of a sin

I’m not sure the ways of this world

The nature of the universe in which we live

Over and over I wrestle with God

This inspiration I have that directs me to give

We travel on a similar path

Converging destiny’s that may collide

Is this why we gravitate towards each other?

Just how will we decide? How will we confide?

You may think we are too different

But this is not what I see

Those superficial differences are a distraction

Somehow I deeply feel you emotionally

You once told me I’m a man

And all that I want is to have you physically

If I told you something different

Than a liar I would be?

Prove you wrong, Prove you right

We shall have to see

I think maybe this choice

Is only decided by we

Thank you for the honesty

A clearer path ahead

I’m reminded you still don’t really know me

On this road that I tread

In the right moment

In the right time

You will know how you feel

If you look you will find

You ask if I’m heading into heartache?

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

You ask if I’m heading into heartache?

You may be partially right about me

But if you look even deeper

Then maybe you will better see

I’m well aware of my disposition

I have a hedge on this so called “flaw”

The intelligence to navigate wisely

Is the truth of this universal law

I choose who I love

Don’t tell me how to feel

My way is my way

I use this way to heal

It’s not about me

The book tells us how to treat other people

If only we embrace?

Our world under the steeple

When idealism meets realism

How will you decide?

Trust in your pragmatism?

How will you resolve your pride?

Despite what you think of me

My mind will always tinker

I live by simple rules

Despite being a deep thinker

When idealism meets realism

Just where does the truth lie?

Somewhere in the in between

We may consider it a tie

Eudemonía

Aristotle would claim

Is responsible for our well-being

But I just call out her name
