Not The Marrying Kind (James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

be kind
i'm not the marrying kind
love me from afar
no jar
shall capture me like a lightning bug
hug
me
don't trap me in
when
i'm ready i'll reveal
what's concealed
the deal
not sealed
until i say
my day
not governed by your desire to couple
i chuckle
at that
old hat
to think that you need someone to be fulfilled
deal
with the fact
jack
that if i think i can do better alone
i'll roam
until i find a mate worth giving
forgiving
of my flaws
and all
fall
madly in love
still might not say "i do"
for you
no sign
you're mine
might just have to know it
rather than show it
a feeling deep within
you win
my heart
never part
love me for who i am
no sham
no farce
remorse
for trying to fence me in
begin
to accept that i'm wilder than you thought
can't be bought
my love
i hand over with caution
not ever so often

  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
