Anemone - Karmic Reality 3/13/2025

 Do you ever wonder 

If you’ll meet someone

On a perfectly ordinary day

Who will change your life forever?

   ~Real Stories~

Like starting a new job at Kwik trip

You meet your new Saggie co-worker

And you both really “click”

Or I met you on warm Brazillian streets

Sugarcane juice in hand 

and vibes that can't be beat

Or you know…

you both were compañeras 

together in a cult

Facing trial after trial 

So many tears, so much sorrow

Yet so many rays of joy

That managed to shine through

Dios, Nathy I miss you 💔

Whether I met you on a perfectly ordinary day

At a cheese factory, or a tractor hay ride

I have not forgotten you

I never will

For these friends 

I will die on that hill

But what these individuals don’t understand 

Is that just because I’m a poet

Doesn’t mean these wild friendships are only for me

You would recognize your own wondrous connections too

If you train yourself to seek out The Good more then you do… 

Or at least try to look for The Good more than you complain, 

about your own life or the lives of others

Then you might comprehend 

Just how blessed you are to have the people in your life that you do

Even if they cause friction 

Have you ever wondered if they’re there 

To propel you 

Because you weren’t moving on your own

The universe gave you rug burn

In the most unsexy way

But even you know, you’ll only continue 

To decay if you stay.

MOVE!!!!

For stagnation is death

And fluidity, life

If you struggle with movement 

Then ask these friends 

for aid in your plight 

And if you think you have no one

And you are feeling weak

Just remember, that the same stardust 

That makes me

Makes you

Makes We

We are an anemone 

All One

But individually free

What I do or say about you

I do and say about me

THAT’S our Karmic reality.

Burning Bridges Light My Way

The brain and the mind

The balance ever so fine

I sit here wanting to write

But my hands are shaking 

My body in constant plight 

Try as I might 

I’m always fighting the good fight

Of eating enough food, 

Drinking enough water,

Never enough

Its thirst is insatiable 

Constant

Ever gnawing

Ever burning

Always hurting

Much like my Mind

Always hurting 

Ever burning 

Ever gnawing

Like a constant sawing in my brain

I have often wondered if I am insane

I always refrain 

From going down that road…

My familys inheritance 

A thick dark cloud of denial 

Constantly hovering

Above my mind 

How kind… of them to leave this 

Now its my time to deal with it 

I inhale that thick dark cloud 

Into my equally dark lungs

And I expel it

From my mind

And my body

You cannot hold me hostage

And force me to listen to your lies

They’re nothing but clouds to me now

And how you deal with that fact is not my problem

Although you will try to make it mine

I rely on the Goddess divine

She warned me at the age of three

That your dark cloud would guillotine me 

You claimed that the dream was Satan trying to get me

But thankfully I heeded her warning 

and I've been waring against your manipulation ever since. 

The fumes from all of your gaslighting are finally starting to dissipate 

And I acknowledge that this relief is only because I’m choosing not to participate.

At last my Brain and my Mind pick up three year old me in their arms

And we all wave goodbye to those days of old, soul ties snapping all around us.

We see you desperately trying to scurry up the last soul tie that remains 

Screaming out those same fumes we’re all so used to breathing.

Seething about what your flock will think, what would mom think?!

Three year old me points out the saw in my minds hand

And we all smile and nod simultaneously 

giggling with the possibility of being free.

The sawing has been going on for so long now

And you continued to cling to that same tie the entire time

Trying bribery with childhood favorites, 

promises of a better family,

But I’m immune to your fumes now. 

As the last membrane of that soul tie snaps 

I shout to the Goddess my praise and thanks 

I watched you fall

And wish I felt nothing at all

But as we all slowly meld back to one

Mind, Body and Me rebound

I thank the Goddess for the real family I’ve found.

My Muse Is Not Amusing

How can you give me so many 

Kinds of chills?

Ones of lust 

Ones of thrill 

We don’t need any pills

Your scent an aphrodisiac

Has me bent every which way

Your heartbeat a melatonin 

Slowing my brain

Your moaning; toe curling

Magic like Merlin 

You are my wind ♒️ 

Sails unfurling 

Tongue slick like seals

Wrapped around me

Like an electric eel

This is the way

My muse makes me feel

Its not amusing 

Not in the least

Because every time I see her

I just want to feast

You be the beauty 

And I’ll be your beast

It’s magic we make 

To the sound of this beat

In our house 

“Making ends meet”

Is not a thing

Because the universe 

Gave me you as my Queen

To me you are an ethereal being

From the moment I met you,

You were mine 

I think about it all the time 

Your blue eyes

An ocean unseen

Your freckles 

Constellations with a cosmic sheen

Never in my life have I felt so seen

And if the Bible thumpers are right?

And you are a demon 

Then raise your glass my love

To this toast

For you are my devil

And I, your willing host

I know I’m verbose 

So I will stop boasting here

But just know

When it comes to my muse

Bitch hold my beer

Moon Kissed 11/30/2023

I get freckles

When exposed to the sun

Your skin is so light and fair

Yet somehow they’re already there

On your forehead, shoulders

Nose and cheeks

It is obvious you are not 

A child of the sun

So meek and mild

But a daughter of the moon

Untamed and wild 

Your laugh is hearty

And your smile shines

Like Moonbeams

Don’t even get me started 

About your screams

It’s like a goddess unbound

You make me feel

Like I’ve found…myself

Found real health

In this sick sick society 

Laughter is gold

And peace cannot be bought

I know you have fought

Extremely hard for your peace

I thank all the Goddesses 

They allowed us to meet

I cease worrying

About meeting my other half;

My Pluto person

Because I am so sure

It’s you

No one else can tell me 

That it’s not true

Sure I might have a screw loose

I would agree; nodding

But have you ever seen

A moon kissed goddess

Standing among the trees?

The leaves even sing

It’s such a site to behold 

I don’t even feel the cold

But you wrap me in your arms anyway

Your light blue eyes make me sway

To the rhythm of an ancient song 

This is exactly where I belong.

IN ANOTHER LIFE

In another life 

You were my light

I prayed everyday

To make you my wife

You fought

Battle after battle

Scarred and marred 

By enemies

And even friends

Green with jealousy 

Of your winning trend

They wanted what you had

You didn’t even care

But you did meet my gaze 

When you saw me stare

Your crystal blue eyes

And your jet black hair

I couldn’t even speak to you

I didn’t even dare

We’re from a different sect

Yours from the sword 

And mine sacred text

So we never spoke in words

But our minds did connect

We spoke telepathically 

Transcendentally

Maybe that’s why 

I want you under me

Another way to speak without words

Butterflies and birds

But here you lay

Unable to speak

Dying and weak

I prayed to the goddess this day

Your enemies I will slay

In spite and rage

Then I will leave this bodily cage

And join you 

In the cosmic disarray 

I will find you again 

Someday
