Gold Coast

Beguiling, baby-faced boys

boasting beautiful butts

skin smooth as silk

sensual, sexy smiles

awesome abs.

Arrogant, awkward.

Prancing, preening, posing,

pole dancing.

This is a Sunday 160 for Monkey Man

Loud and Clear

A simple gesture made

No words exchanged

But message received

And feelings evoked

Sadness, Anger, Fear

Accompanied by many, many tears

Actions speak louder than words

Black

As the walls are closing in

And the colors fade to black

I wonder where my happiness went

And if, by chance, it will ever come back

I have to believe it will

It will

Delight

Anticipation and excitement mounted slowly.

I could feel it building.

It was hard to breathe.

My heart beat faster.

I trembled.

Just

Let

Go

I screamed.

I love rollercoasters.

Love of the Dance

My body aches:

sore feet, tired legs and a sunburn

I hadn’t danced in 6 months...

I am completely exhausted

but completely happy

Soon I will drift off to sleep

with a smile

Lessons

Learning guitar was a fun way to bond with my daughter and finish what I started 30 years ago.  8 months later she’s lost interest but I’m just getting started.

You and Me

You are
Up and down
On and off
Black and white
Digital

I am
High and low
Power surges
Brights and darks
Analog

We are
(In)compatible
(Ir)reconcilable
(Dis)agreeable
Opposites
