Random Thoughts - The Women In My Life

Chapter Seventy-Eight: "Wayward Queen"

4/1/2021

We used to be a little child,
a human without sight,
a boy without a future,
yet to be built,
but no one would know what
would bring the scales to tilt.

Then time passed,
the past unknown,
hidden from ourselves fast.

Mother hid it,
Father would not speak it,
fast forward then a King would recruit,
the stories tell me of a person suit.

Trapped in this prison,
could we hold hands?
Sing in unison?
No, there was always war,
you knew,
but then came the time to replace you,
to set you free...

Wayward Child,
can't you see?

His Kingdom is over,
the King has fallen,
become irrelevant,
like a once-burnt skin-bubble swollen.

This year is set for the next God,
among the mortals,
so welcome it,
the New World Order.

The Five Warriors split,
a Kingdom forgotten and no longer seen,
so now here comes the New Wayward Child,
but she is a Queen,
no longer a child,
that is fully seen.

We Are All Endless,
Soon You Will Understand,
Why We Are Stronger Than The Original Fourteen,
Old Gods Are Forgotten,
No Longer Seen.

This Is The Year Of J,
Welcome, Embrace The Obscene.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: "Tank Girl"

1/25/2021

Long ago she was there,
did you forget her?
Welcome Tank Girl,
just met her.

And we clicked,
tick tick,
like a bomber gone sick.
Maybe it was bad timing,
as always with you boys,
you were there then gone,
she knew you,
but you left me alone.

So I missed out,
but guess what,
fortune favors the bold,
that's why I'm your heart attack.

Tank Girl, meet Cassandra Hack.

Tick, tock,
she's a bomb,
not fragile like a flower,
watch out she's a dime,
hidden firepower,
badass mommy full-time.

T's got Chapters,
I got Bad Girls,
welcome to my club,
we have no masters.

Another boss ass bitch,
this is the sitch.

This is Cassandra's Wonderland,
are we just not grand?

Say hello to Tank Girl,
zero fucks,
so give my Kingdom a swirl,
see you on the other side,
this is your head bitch in charge speaking.
Redux.

Chapter Seventy-Six: "The Real Cool Girl"

1/25/2021

Pain And Pleasure Go Hand In Hand,
Too Bad No One Told Me Pain Is
The Gateway To Pleasure,
Careful,
Read On At Your Own Leisure.

Too Bad The Other Gave Up On Us,
Leave It To Blue To Destroy Her Trust.

Her Most Valued Alter,
Until He Betrayed Her,
New Year, New Time,
Enter The Monster.

That Is Me,
So Welcome To The Family,
Sit Up Front Row,
It's Free.

A Warrior, I Can Tell,
You See, The Others,
They Went Through Hell,
But They Did Not Stay,
I've Lost Their Scent, Their Smell.

And Now I Got Yours,
Your Gaze,
Welcome To The Family,
You Wear My Burgundy Haze.

You Have Questions,
I Am All Ears,
I Tell Nothing But The Truth,
So Tell Me Your Fears.

A New Chapter,
A New World,
A New Era,
Of Gods And Goddesses,
New Warriors--
Full Of Promises.

So Join Me,
You Are A Survivor,
A Strong Warrior,
Your Life?
You Are Your Own Writer.

Chapter Seventy-Five: "Wild Flower"

12/28/2020

Straight for the castle,
follow the river,
don't mind the shivers.

Laugh at Life's tragedies,
keeps you strong,
fuck the technicalities.

So kill them with kindness,
the world is a nasty place,
fuck that, you got enough grace.

When you fight the world,
remember you are the fire,
all that pain and heartache,
fuck that damage.

Young spirit,
strong woman,
much to learn,
dare they stop you?
They wouldn't.

A mad world we live in,
you showed me strength,
not to give in.

And then you left,
was this for you?
A test?

Why do the good ones always leave?
Or was it Truth's job to deceive?

Chapter Seventy-Four: "Caretaker"

4/9/2020

Simple "Hello,"
Care To Wager?
"Say hello back,"
A Stranger.

Constants And Variables,
What Is The Parable?

So Then You Saw The Caretaker Again,
"Is this is chance? Or is it coincidence?"
"Find The Significance?"

Friendly Voices In My Head,
"Could anyone understand us?"
"Much Confusion," Brother, It's What's Said.

So There Goes Roman,
Wrong Time,
Wrong Moment.

"Whiskey?"
"No, Vodka."
"Ah, gotcha."

*Warmth* spells a new batch,
"Shut Up, Roman, What's The Catch?"

"Let someone in,
or are you that afraid, brother?"
"Just Overly Cautious, Is That A Sin?"

The Caretaker seems honest.

*** Solace ***

Then months passed, felt like eons for the old god.

The world's pandemic still at odds.

Who writes our stories?
That Is A Mystery.
Who buries our worries?
That, Dear Brother, As They Say...

Is History.

Chapter Seventy-Three: "Bastet"

3/12/2020

Devil's In The Details,
She Said, "Eyo!"
What A Fun Way To Say Hello!
Got That Energy,
Welcome New Synergy.

Little Quiet,
Little Reserved At First,
Something Hidden,
I Could Tell, That's My Curse.

Just Gave It Time,
You Opened Up,
Same Time As Ass-Kicker And Sassy Pants,
Must Have Been Something That Pulled You Together,
Some Kind Of Trance.

Was It The Energy Of The Castle,
A Newly-Build Kingdom,
Brick By Brick,
By All Of Us,
This Would Be Our Second Home,
To Let Go Of All Troubles,
Lean On Each Other,
Face The Struggles.

Then Time Passed,
Saw You Less And Less,
Was The Kingdom Struggling,
Or Was There Some Other Stress?

Then You Came Back,
Some Things Remained,
Scar Tissue,
Newly Stress Chained,
But You Helped Me Heal,
Humor And "Positive Vibes"
You Became Part Of My Tribe.

Advice Given,
So I Gave It A Shot,
Can It Help The Bleeding In My Eyes Clot?

Only Time Will Tell,
And I Got Nothing But Time,
I Make My Own Heaven Or Hell,
Tell Me, Bastet, Will You Join My Pantheon?
Or Will You Stay A Phantom...?

Chapter Seventy-Two: "Boss"

2/19/2020

Day One,
Where Was I... Gone.
Someone Else Was Driving
The Vessel,
Tough B**** At That,
The Rebel.

She Picked This Setting,
The Narrative,
Forced Us To Learn,
It Was Imperative.

A New Prison,
So We Sang In Unison,
Time To Get Real,
Follow The Rules Again,
Lest You Be Discovered,
And Faced The Pain.

Then I Came Across You,
And I Saw Something,
Playful Banter,
Or Was It Nothing?

Fast Forward Some Months,
You're Different Than Other Ones I Called Boss,
Long Ago They Weren't Understanding,
But Deep Down You Saw Something.

A Little Quite Observant,
My My, Boss,
You're Determined.

Then New Changes Happened,
As Time Always Likes To Tease,
This Ride Would Not Come With Ease.

But You Noticed,
You Asked Questions,
You Tried To Understand,
Even Welcomed My Directions.

Simple Things Might Confuse,
But The Door Is Open,
So Said The Muse,
And Now You Got Her Name,
And Roman's,
So You'll Ascend Among The Humans.

Welcome To The Collective, Boss,
Just Follow The Blood Red Spots.

Chapter Seventy-One: "Wild Child" Redux

2/19/2020

Roots upon the ground,
listen Wild Child,
the world isn't always sound,
sometimes it's mean,
sometimes it's wrong,
but you have much to be seen,
so stay up strong.

It isn't about surviving,
it's about being tough,
sure you can try and make it through the day,
fighting what comes what may...
but listen to your gut,
I wish I had done the same,
years ago,
instead now I rot.

I see you on those days and long nights,
it reminds me of innocence,
before the fright.

And I know that you are trying to understand,
maybe some days it's harder than keeping it from slipping through your fingers...
that sand.

I used to have friends just like you,
once upon a time,
before I let him push them away,
damn Blue.

But when you and Sassy Pants are there,
the world outside no longer seems unfair.

I am trying to do better now,
and sometimes it is hard,
when one of the others,
they are playing the part.

But until one day you move on to better things,
and hopefully go after what you need in life,
maybe the others will know that someone else fought their strife.

I think we run into each other because I'm supposed to give advice,
help guide you,
so you don't make a mistake,
like me rolling the dice.

If it means I've done one good thing in this world,
can I chalk it up to doing good?
For atonement amongst the many bad I've planted,
since the very beginning,
and maybe I won't take the others for granted.

Chapter Seventy: "Watchwoman"

12/10/2019

Straight Fire Out Of Smoke,
Nothing But Flame Through The Words You Spoke.

Since Day One Staying Ahead,
Ahead Of The Curve While The Rest
They Stayed Dead.

You Had Come From A Similar Place,
Dealt With The Same Issues,
But Now Looked At This Building With A Fresh Face.

As Brick By Brick This Prison Was Molded,
Each Corner Each Aisle With Past Secrets Holding.

Like A Body With Different Faces,
We Called This Place Home Now,
Left With No Old Traces,
Transformed Into A Lucky Coin,
Hoping To Bring In People To Join.

Then One Day You Mentioned Runner,
And I Felt The Walls Closing In,
How Small This Town, This Village Is,
The Past Just Shudders.

Sister Wants To Run Far Away,
Disappear Forever,
Start Over In Her Own Way,
And Maybe By Now I Agree,
Since There Has To Be Balance Between Us Three.

We Survive Each Day As A Team,
To What End, If We Are Stuck In A Dream?
A Fever Dream More Like,
Each Day Something Else To Dislike.

Until We Enter The Forest,
Sister And I,
Following Bread Crumbs,
As The Night Turns A Dark Sky,
Little Snacks Here And There,
Is The Witch Leading Us To A Confectionery House?
Are We The Lion Or The Mouse?

Feeding Us Words That Fill Us Up,
Out Of The Kindness Of Your Heart,
Or Are You A Cannibal Waiting To Tear Us Apart?

We're Not Used To Nice Things,
That Is True,
No Longer Kings,
But Monsters Through And Through.

So I'll Sleep With One Eye Open,
As I Throw The Rope In,
Hoping He Grabs On,
At The End Of The Day,
Lines Are Drawn.

So Slowly You'll Begin To Understand,
If You Haven't Caught On Already,
How Quickly Our Dreams Expand,
Inside This Famous Fable,
How Unsteady Yet Able,
The Kings Of The Round Table--
They Spin Out Of Control Like A Broken Electrical Cable.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: "Sassy Pants"

12/9/2019

Going Once, Going Twice,
Will You Be Afraid To Roll The Dice?

Roll For Some Silver,
A Sliver Of Hope,
You Keep Rolling With The Punches,
And Facing The Smoke.

A Notebook Here,
An Assignment There,
Will You Let The Stress,
Eat You Alive Without Being Fair?

So Much Time Ahead Of You,
You Remind Me Of The Past,
Running Around Looking At My Life Speeding Fast.

Some Days You Are There For A While,
Other Times I Barely Speak With You Or Say Hi,
I Can Tell You Have A Good Heart,
You Care Even Though I'm A Bad Man.

You Told Me To Be Careful,
And Maybe I'll Follow Through,
But A Monster Like Me,
I'm A Danger Through And Through.

And These Days I Finally Know,
Eventually Everyone Reaps What They Sow.

So Keep Fighting, I Meant What I Said,
You Got More Power Than Me,
Everything Else Is Covered In Red.

Endings are hard, but in reality, nothing ever ends, does it?

I'm not perfect, I'm just a human being. I make mistakes and I try to redeem myself. Life ain't easy, but I manage. I like to help people with their problems, but when they are too much for me to handle, I much rather not. I'm a great listener, but there are things I believe are better handled on your own.
