About Me

My photo
I just returned back to the States after 11 years in Taiwan with my daughter. Taiwan is an excellent base for us explore Asia, while living in relative (gun free) safety, while benefiting from a cheap and efficient national health care system. The people are amazing too. I have Taiwanese friendships that are 20 years old and I'm always making new ones! My coworker here in CO is from Taiwan.

Zorastic Inclinations of Favor

Lets speak of significant pasts, others
Their souls like torn pages from an old yellowed book, out of print treasures
More like ghosts you cant speak of

Tickle your fears w/shared experience
I’ve mastered spirits that molested you
Exposed your Achilles weakness and tried to disable you
They are like flies I swat away
I’m given power from being so powerless
No need to fear in my company, humble authority
I’m brave enough for three
I’ve been living free
Even if its alone in virgin jungle territory

Sit down, take off your outer layers, get comfortable enough w/me
Let me feed and water you, quench immediate needs
Don’t be inhibited or care of protocols
Accept my offer, I give graciously

Listen to me share
Your interest, even half-hearted pulls me in
I wont ever reveal everything
Keep parts of me to myself consciously
Permit the vaulted gold to increase in value

You’ve said enough to reveal human imperfections
I’ve the hard earned, learned maturity to accept them
Not try to master or correct them.

Learned a lot, forlorn, a pile of bones on the treeless peak
Stripped skeleton, picked clean by vultures and bleached by Himalayan suns
Dead enough to be regenerated
Learn the regrets of youth while mothering alone-
Amity isn’t seeing just the latent potential, the best, what might be
Chose to love the underdeveloped, ugly rest
If I’d do it again I’d make my consort a choice, not Nature’s lust
Find consummation in accepting you just as you are
Who is inclined to encounter and return the favor?

Mountains and Sea

Rainclouds gather like blue shadows along my window view
Making the pink of the flower petals heighten their hue
I soon thought I’d be with you, on a free morning
You chose to close your shutters, profess to forget
Water the garden of deep retrospect
I hope you regret, when the sky unfastens above you
Torrents of my electricity, your imploding thunder
I need to be near mountains and water

Stare for hours at the sea
Sit in your presence, fall at your feet to listen
Made to carry you like a vessel
Hugging precious porcelain against browned skin
Filled to the brim, soothe this thirst
Look upon you like a sorceress,
Investigate the imminent prospect, water falling
Stroke you with my fingertips, thrill at the slightest ripple knowing

Cool my heat w/ a bath
Jump under a wave and pleasure splash
Frolic in your ocean foam
Sand falling off all the way home
