Vows Broken (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

you take sips
and i taste the whiskey on your lips
would you love me if i ruled the world?
half boy? half girl?
make love to me in the dark
light this spark
'til it's a full on fire
higher and higher
burning bright
let's marry the night
burn a hole in the road
we've showed
them all how it's done
run
as far from love as we possibly could
no good
dressed in black leather
together
let's weather
the storm
can't harm
us as we stand arm in arm
i sat on the corner of the bar and kissed you deep as an ocean
commotion
sent my head spinning
winning
you over
made me the happiest man on earth
burst
ing with pride
willing to ride
your ups and your downs
getting
our wedding
black leather we'll wear
as we swear
together
forever
but your bipolar took a swing
the sting
that's is over
just hasn't set in yet
i bet
you bruised my arm and you broke my heart
apart
we've grown
sown
the seeds you planted
took me for granted
and now i carry on with my show
grow
into the man i wish to be
me
no we
no to have and to hold
told
of my sorrow
no tomorrow
for us

Anxiety

  Anxiety is like a flash flood. You’re standing in the most glorious sunshine, unaware of the rain falling high up in the mountains. Far away. You’re going about your day. Trying to stay in your gratitude for the beauty around you. And then..BAM!! Out of seemingly nowhere a rushing torrent sweeps you off of the safety you were standing in. It swells around you. Threatening. Ominous. It rips your peace away like tree roots. Until everything around you becomes a swirling mass of debris. No sight of your safe place. When it dissipates you’re left in the mud. With the muck. In the remains of who you were before it came. You’re left to contemplate the cleanup and the rebuild. What practice can you implement that will keep the flash floods away? Can you form a dam with prayer? Breathing? Yoga? Meditation? Incense? What foundation can you set that will keep you from being swept away again? Each cycle of this is a lesson. With each cycle a new you is born. A version who sifts through the rubb

She Dreams of the Desert

She dreams of the desert  Of its dangerous beauty  The unknown  He dreams of the desert  He knows the safety it holds for him  His long time only friend  She calls to them both  For very specific reasons  Seasons  Of their lives are different  But the desire is the same  The desert is a mermaid  With a sweet siren song  What you make of her  Becomes your fate Once you’ve answered her call

Took A Greyhound Bus To My Love

Image
  Took a Greyhound bus to my love   Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace  Story of a nexus  That grew into love  A love that connects us  Across state lines  Swamp to the desert  One leads to the other  Landscapes fade and change  Wide open range  Leaving plenty of space to fill with love  Daydreams  Of real things  That keep us intertwined  Took a Greyhound bus to my love  So I could dream the whole way  Of the way  She makes me feel  Smiles on my face for real  Green eyes sparkling through the night  Holding my baby tight  Wheels on the road  Turning round and round  Like the feels in my heart  Hitting like a dart  Pulling up on the target  Of my affection  No question  It’s been worth the whole ride
