Venuscat, I see you're back
I hope you'll honor us with a rhyme
Losing you, it's been some time
Hope you're well and on the track.
I really DO hope all is fine with you. Seems like I read somewhere you'd been having some tough times. Be well. I love your beautiful black cat.

(((hugs)))) Elseware and Snoozy love.
I will write soon; yes, this has been the hardest part of my sober time so far.
We do a lot of damage to ourselves. Lots of healing to do. ♥
Love you all very much,
V xx

Your drama is exhausting me
I am not your minute mart
to wipe your tears and sacrifice
my own peace of mind and heart
You call once a week kicked out of your house
crying like it's new
yet engaged to a man you say you'll espouse
Well today I have the flu
You want this, you want that
Well the minute mart is closed
Friendship is a two way street
Not a trash can for your woes.
This sounds harsh to me indeed
but I've seen your kind before
In fact was raised by one
so am showing you the door.
Your emergencies are not mine
I'm not your emotional rescue
So drama queen just please be gone!
I am busy with my own mescue.
mescue. lol. I needed to get that off my chest.

I just ate a dish that was unexpectedly nice
onions and garlic, beet greens and brown rice
the sauce was tahini, tamari and sesame oil
and a splash of an accident that I thought would make my skin crawl
When I reached for the tamari I grabbed the wrong thing
It was fish sauce - an immediate stench it did bring
But a splash of water on this bizarre mix
turned out to be one delicious kind of fix
Now I'm sitting here thinking
Who cooks like that?

Haute Cuisine
One of life pleasures is to adventurously dine
Your special concoction sounds really Devine.
I must admit I'm not much of a cook
I always have to look in a book.
Tonight I'll be having a yam,
String beans, broccoli and a small bite of ham.
I'd rather eat with you, Outhouse Rat!

Stairs I had friends like that,
knew it wasn't right
Realised all too soon
their doom and gloom
would disrupt many a night
Like a parasite, you find
They drain you, leave a shell behind
Absorb your joy
Make you their toy
Always messing with your mind.
Let them go, turn away
Or their plaything you will stay
Audience to every drama
Messing with your usual karma
Let the mess someone else's day
I have to tell you that I can
Hurls ingredients in a pan
A spoon of paste
And just to taste..
And voila! Ready for the bin!
Actually I'm a very good cook, but i never measure anything!

Snoozy had bad dreams
Else is froze it seems
And dear Toots
Has froze her boots
Right on the Boston green
Ah Toots shop Faniel hall
Or Beacon Hill (not mall)
Or wander there
to Copley Square
And buy yourself a shawl!
Of all the times to visit
you've come into a blizzard
in fall and spring
Boston's the thing
Not impressing now though, is it?

Friends kind words can change ones life
Enhance a mood that's given strife
Intense and kind , so powerful
In this thread we have it all
Compassion when our spirits wane
Encouragement once it s gained
Your words and love are dear and true
I love each and every one of you .
Xxx

Angry that I care too much
And that I wish for your touch
Angry that you don't seem to care
And that you're not there
Angry that this hurts a lot
And that I wish you'd rot
Angry that I try too hard
And that it's me that has to rake the yard
Angry that the past doesn't disappear
And that I feel so much fear
Angry that it's hard to forgive
And that I don't like the way I live
And that I wish for your touch
Angry that you don't seem to care
And that you're not there

a didactic dialectic
something unexpected
anger on one side
acceptance the other
it is what it is
necessity's mother
dis-ease on one side
health on the other
we reach for the latter
the former our brother
sorrow on one side
joy on the other
continuum or cycle
in both i am smothered
progress on one side
stagnation the resister
one step at a time
both of their sister
violence on one side
peace is a daughter
conflict mediator
cannon fodder
inauthenticity on one side
sobriety worth the bother
the first is a lie
the second a loving father

Yet another Friday, living out a case
How I wish I could unpack,
somewhere to call 'our place'
Yes I get to eat out nights
And no, no washing up.
I finish with my coffee
The maid picks up my cup
But what I want is privacy
Don't want that smiling face
Don't want to seem ungrateful,
I. Just. Want. 'Our. Place.'
I don't have to dust here
Or throw the vacuum round
The maid will pick up panties
If I leave them scattered on the ground ( I don't!)
It's like having a mom
But one that doesn't shout
Or nag at me to tidy up
Or give my ear a clout
I know that when we move
I'll moan about that too
For I will be the one who has
To clean the skid marks in the loo
( what is it with men and their allergy to toilet brushes!)

Toots, I hope you get your own place soon
I'll admit that when clothes have been strewn
I'd really rather clean up my own room
Sometimes I'll put out the 'do not disturb' sign
So the maids won't come to sweep and shine
I'd rather just clean after myself
But if bf is there it's a different story
Cleaning his mess makes me worry
I'd love to leave that to someone else
I wish we had a little cleaning elf!
(I don't know if bf is allergic to toilet brushes or not as I don't think he's ever come close enough to one to find out!)

Sometimes I wish I was special
Had perhaps a very great gift
I'm a "B" kind of person
Always second. Never the best
I 'm scared all the time
And I wish for magic
I cry when the going gets rough
Run a marathon?
I poop at 18.
That's what I am. I'm a B-18
But I am always kind.
I see the good in people
Cut them some slack
Don't leave them behind
To be embarrassed or stung
I try very hard to support
The ones who need pulling up
I have great compassion
Cause I've been through a lot
I guess that's all I can do.
And it is good enough.....but never enough for me.

Elsie, you're special to each of us
To this thread, you contribute so much
Whenever anyone is hurting
With a kind word, you are lurking
Please don't beat yourself up
Grades are for school
But life has different rules
Nobody cares if you can run a marathon
Or if you're a square or a hexagon
We all think you're really cool
It's normal to cry when things are rough
We're all just human, that's what we do
So don't think it means you're not tough
When you're done you'll wipe your tears and get back to
Don't forget, God made you good enough
