INSPIRATION (love poem)

You ask me if I love you,
Then you suck the lips off my face
And chew on the delicacy of their maroon creases.
'Body shop' lipstick, no. 12;
The taste of compact slabs of cherry.
This cheap adolescent disguise has guided me through all
my realizations.

I left it on the edge of plastic vodka glasses and blood smeared mirrors,
On the foreskins of Greek men,
And finally, on all your cliched perfume soaked letters.
Now it is in your mouth, your throat, your stomach.
You have swallowed my teens and all those fermented mistakes.

The ones I danced into blind,
Fumbling for an urgent exit
In whitewashed jeans and tobacco coated pockets.
All the words that flew out and assaulted
Steve, Damien, Kieren, Gary, Ben
(and all the others my high tech brain has crashed out and deleted),
Have left open wounds in my voice box,
gauged by their barbed wire font.

But as you savor the many varied tastes of my existence,
I can feel my insides frantically stitching and nursing
my pubescent cuts and bruises. Healing in seconds.
Now I am your fetus and everything is warm.

You feed me with a mother's strength and make me reborn,
Without all these zits and misadventures.
My new born 'Halleaugh' scream, realized from sterilized lungs
will be pristine, no lipstick stains in sight.

The answer to your question is
"Yes, Yes, Yes! "
Yes, I love you.
YOUR PURPLE MECHANICAL PALMS,
THAT AT NIGHT SOFTEN LIKE CHOCOLATE IN THE SUNLIGHT
AND MELT INTO MY THIGHS.
YOUR HEAVY TORTURED EYES, YOUR LAUGHTER
AND THE WAY YOU INHALE YOUR MARLBORO.
Yes, Yes, Yes.

I swirl out of your anesthetic
With a bacon rind for a belly button
And that's my first word,
A singular syllable.

I can turn the lens until my eyes are in focus,
And you, my surgeon, become my mother.
"Your adolescence has been successfully removed.
The operation was beautiful, wonderful,
Just fine. "

My log in word is 'You'.
That is all I remember.
I am a blank canvas, a cut- price jotter pad, an overflowing biro.
Write all over me.

Scrawl your name in my razor sharp armpits,
In my louse- free hair, my eyelashes bulging with years of mascara.
Practice your joined up handwriting on
My Mound of Venus and the folds of my labia;
Magenta pink and bald.

I am your Frankenstein,
but I promise not to fail.
I will get top marks in my oral stage, my anal stage
And all the others I don't remember,
Because we hit the doodle stage in class.

With you, I will grow old and withered
And our tree roots will be dangerously entwined with time.
We will become soil once again and make love amongst the worms.
'Yes' will be always be my answer, my mantra.
You will always be my host, my vessel;
A place to store my happiness and tears.

KEYS TO MY HEART

I had closed the door upon my heart
and wouldn't let anyone in
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
but that would never happen again
I locked the door and
tossed the key as
hard and as far as I could
My heart was closed for good

Then you came into my life and
made me change my mind
just when I thought that
tiny key was impossible to find
that is when you held out your hand
and proved me wrong
inside your palm was the
Key to My Heart
You had it all along

IMPORTANT STEPS TO A HAPPY RELATIONSHIP

I have come to realize that most people are not really happy in their relationships. There is an all important step towards happiness in your relationship and that step is what I call; self appreciation. The world we are living currently is filled with stressful activities and uncertainty of the economy! Remember that there is a strong link between financial security, healthy economy, stress, job challenge and relationship approach.

  It is a pity that the world we live gives most people very few opportunities to sincerely relate or connect with their lovers and this single factor is Seriously causing arguments and complains from the victim in the relationship. One thing I have come to discover recently is the rising rate of people complaining that their partner doesn’t appreciate their beauty. Well, women are those suffering more as a result of this ugly development. Many ladies have told me that their male partners don’t really tell them how good they are looking often. It is also important to point out that some men are also experiencing this in their relationships

Now, when you are down emotionally, it means you will not be happy even physically and you know what that means to your relationship-frustration, endless arguments, complains, fighting and even cheating! When you look at most of these people who complain about not receiving the deserve appreciation of their physical look from their partners, you will discover that they are always nagging. It is because they are frustrated and their relationships suffer for it

However in a relationship you just have to be you but anyone else that's how you get it right and even, if you don't have much, present yourself as such because in real sense whoever will like or love you will do so regardless your financial endowment  or status
   I was once a victim but since i found the truth and inner peace and accepting who you really are, Nothing else really matters but the affection the love understanding and tolerance...where both partners will look past their respective flaws and find just reasons to be happy at all time mostly.

WHAT IS SELF APPRECIATION?

To appreciate yourself means to adore your personality, to see the good qualities you have, to tell yourself that you’re looking beautiful, to believe in yourself, to discover yourself etc. You know how good we feel each time our partner looks at us and say: “you are looking good, beautiful, and exceptional”?  It makes us happy, but if your partner doesn’t say it always and you desire it often, you can feel dejected!
   I urge you to start seeing the beautiful aspect of yourself. Remember that you cannot love your partner and express love fully to him/her if you haven’t loved yourself first. You must always look into the mirror and appreciate whatever you see there. You should be feeling good about yourself. Don’t rely so much on your partner to tell you how beautiful you are, say that to yourself too. Remember, once you are happy with yourself, you can easily be happy with others including your partner.

WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH ( love poem )

The words "I miss you" can not display
The depths of how I care.

The words "I want you" do not betray
The extent of what I dare.

The words "I need you" can not convey
The extent of my prayer.

The words "I love you" do not portray
The heights of my err. ----Ron carnell

WHAT ARE YOU AVOIDING?

Do You Deal Or Dive?

How many times have you found yourself avoiding something by diving into something else? We stand in this place of avoidance; repressing our emotions that are too difficult to face never realizing they could actually be a gift; an opportunity to heal what no longer serves us.

We find it easier to turn our attentions toward something else, subconsciously pulling ourselves away from the initial discomfort and not really wanting to take responsibility for the situation or the emotions that are on the surface. So we dive into a different pool of water, believing this detour will make the uneasiness disappear.

Most of the time, this re-directive dive may not seem like an avoidance technique at all. I know for myself recognizing and owning-up to my avoidance I needed to take a long hard look inward and become more conscious of my patterns of behavior, along with the "Why's" attached to them.

I put myself into a spin by mentally running non-stop; never giving myself proper time to quietly stop and listen to the never-ending information that is flowing through me. That's when I happily (unconsciously) become a carbohydrate addict. My dive of choice, my "redirection," is not consuming excessive amounts alcohol, or doing extensive hours of exercise, having mindless sex or even going on shopping sprees.

My dive is eating Bread!

I'm not talking now about eating crackers, cakes, or cookies.

I am a Bread-a-Holic all the way!

I am well aware of my addictive personality, being a recovering bulimic of many years, and I've learned through much pain, love and a lot of life's lessons to pay close attention to my own truth and why I was diving into something so unhealthy for me. Believe me I love bread and will never give it up, but I know for me that too many carbs and not enough balance of greens does not support me or "my spin" at all!

Know that deep down inside us, when something is out of alignment in our lives and we are sad more often than truly happy; …subconsciously we begin our dive. This dive of avoidance is all about not wanting to face our truth in why we feel so out of alignment. We will make every excuse to find other things to distract ourselves from thoughts and emotions that need to be addressed in the here and now.

We notice ourselves diving deeper into the avoidance, rather than seeking the courage to lift ourselves out of these depths. We need to recognize and accept our true experiences and feelings in order to allow ourselves to get back into alignment with the universal flow of things.

So with this observation, I am inviting you to stop and listen to the whispers getting louder within you. Stop, look and listen to your inner voice. Realize when you are diving instead of dealing; and check yourself before you get too deep! Only you know just how far down you will go before you re-surface and stop the madness! Allow yourself to flow in a natural direction rather than constantly swimming upstream.

WHAT NOT TO DO IN A RELATIONSHIP

For many women, the first week after a break-up goes
a little something like this:

Hide under the covers. Sob uncontrollably while
watching reruns of "Sex and the City." Play "I Will
Survive" to feel empowered. Sob uncontrollably
because Ngozi has a man, while you are single
again. Talk to your girlfriends and feel better. Take a
shower. Sob uncontrollably in the shower. Repeat
sequence.
The cycle eventually ends in reflection. We ask
ourselves what went wrong and what part we played in
the demise of our love affair. Well, it just may be one
of these seven mistakes women make in relationships.

** 7 THINGS NOT TO DO IN A RELATIONSHIP**

1. Drunk Dialing: If you're upset at your partner, put
down the booze and step away from the phone. Alcohol
triggers deep-seated emotions that roar once the
sweet nectar brushes our lips. Once inebriated, drunk
dialing ensues. Like a clumsy boxer, you attack your
lover verbally, slurring through the conversation. In the
end, the relationship suffers. He thinks, "What
happened to the cool, confident woman he fell in love
with?" Too much beer and Coke, that's what.

2. Facebook Stalking: Facebook has changed the way
the world communicates. It also drives women to stalk
their boyfriends online. If he hasn't returned your
phone call or text, you check his Facebook profile. (He
just updated his status! Why didn't he call me back?)
If he went out with friends, you spend the night
scanning his photos. (Who's that girl he's hugging?)
And, of course, there's the dreaded relationship
status. (I changed my status to "In a Relationship."
Why is his status still hidden?)
Ultimately, stalking his Facebook profile shows a lack
of trust. No man wants to be with that woman.

3. "I'm Fine": Your boyfriend asks what's wrong. You
turn to him, shrug and say, "I'm fine," though you want
to kick him for not remembering your birthday or
changing his Facebook relationship status. "I'm fine" men to death. Women let their anger simmer
for fear of rocking the boat or just because they want
him to "figure it out." This is an unhealthy tactic. No
matter what you fear or assume, you must communicate
with your partner. If you don't, then he will think
everything is "fine." Until you drunk dial.

4. Nag, Nag, Nag: You tell him what's wrong. Every
minute of the day. That's a big no-no! As a woman, you
must give him time to process your feelings, especially
when it's a serious matter. When you nag and push, He
withdraw. They begin to see you as negative and that is
so not sexy. So speak your mind, give him space... and
regroup once you are both ready to tackle the issues.

5. Ignoring the Blaring Red Flags: Often times,
instead of ending a relationship, men call less, text less
and show up less. Still, but the girls push for the relationship. They
believe there is a chance for change because he hasn't
ended the relationship. The thing is men hardly ever
end relationships. They show you through actions, and in
many cases... it's their inaction that shows the women they want
out. That's when you must stop fighting for a
relationship that no longer exists.

6. Talking About/Comparing Exes: Nothing kills a
relationship faster than talking about your ex-
boyfriend and comparing him to your current beau.This
leads your partner to feel insecure, with good reason.
He doesn't need to know that your ex gave you multiple
orgasms or that he was the one that got away. If you
are still dwelling on your last boyfriend, you shouldn't
be with your new one.

And lastly

7. Compromise Is Not Sacrifice: Women sacrifice
themselves for the good of all. They are everything to
everyone, forgetting about their needs and what makes
Them happy. In romantic relationships, they suck it up and
"compromise" on relationship deal breakers because
They are afraid of the consequences. They hold it in
because they want to be the perfect girl. The thing is
there is no such thing as perfect.
So, when you are in your next relationship, take note of
these common mistakes. Remember who you are and
what you stand for. Leave the drama, self-sacrifice
and mistrust behind, and self-analyze to find solace in
heartache. Remembering what NOT to do can give you
better chance at lasting love.
