Neither sea nor storm stops to think more
so tonight, yes, tonight, I’ll ride a brain wave
and tickle your mind with secret desires
then tomorrow perhaps storm your reserve
and flood your heart with the need of my love.

But time is my master and says, “No, not yet”
while soul in the confines of this mortal flesh
throws a wild tantrum in rebellious revolt
and spins out the gap supposed to be sealed.

Where am I going?  You may very well ask
because asking is free in any language
but unlike the ocean first I must stop
and consider the cost of my answer to you.

It bears a price tag like hurt, anger, love, hate,
and custom demands I pay up, pay, pay,
but time is my master and says, “No, not yet,
not till you’re packed and ready to roll
down to the mysterious and maybe/perhaps
something or other that waits after death.”

Am I flexing my muscles and toning my “bod”
to carry the load of thoughts spoken or not?
No, not yet, I’m too old for that jog
but sweatshop reflections an effective workout
for the muscles of heart grown lazy unused.

And, yes, that’s right, you correctly assume
I’ve been sidetracked again away from intent.
I was on my way out then turned about face
thinking better by far to bow out with grace …
until I can know where I’m going to!
--------------------------------------------------

(And now for awhile little stories must lie
in the mind of one who deserves a good rest
but I’ll be back toned and refreshed – maybe/perhaps.)

Dear Honeybunch - I do hope you return in the not too distant future. Everyone needs a break though now and then that's for sure. Be good to yourself & we will be here with the light on. hugs, Chris

You know how I appreciate you....I will really miss your "little stories" and the wisdom of your poetry. Maybe you could write them and just sent them to me, huh? Please? I wish you the best!
