Random Thoughts - The Women In My Life

Chapter Seventy-Three: "Batgirl 2.0"

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, Batgirl, Will You Join The Sublime?

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.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: "Gypsy"

12/9/2019

Woman,
She's Taken By The Wind,
Darkness,
She's Taken By Her Mind,
And One Day A Promise Of Heaven,
Will Welcome Her As She Sings.

She Dances Through The Night, Wearing Her Purple Skirt,
Necklaces Swinging With The Stars,
Moonlight Serenade,
But Her Mind Like A Grenade.
Untamed, Free Spirit Free,
Many Secrets Just Like Me.
You Uncovered A Few Of Mine,
I Tried To Uncover Some Of Yours,
And As Always, I Hid Them Well,
I Could Tell...
Tell Your Tell.

On A Good Day You Were Happy,
On Another You Sang The Lyric Snappy,
Knowing When Enough Was Enough,
You Wore That Skin Rough.

Met My Aries, Challenged My Taurus,
But Then I Focused My Eye Of Horus.
You Could Have Been A Great Friend,
Then Time Just Happened To Open Hell.

And I Saw You Gypsy,
I Sang You Gypsy,
And You Told Me You Were Leaving,
Would I Hear From You Again?
Or Is History Doomed To Repeat And Break The Chain?
Will It Break The Chain?

As The Serpent Once More Is Slain?

Chapter Sixty-Seven: "Punk 2.0"

12/9/2019

Short, Small, Fast-Paced Human,
Kept Running Around,
Something Humorous.
Why Can You Not Stop?
Throw Me A Rope.
Such A Free Spirit In This Prison,
Yet You Still Sang In Unison.

You Thought You Could Hide,
Thought You Could Get Away,
Fool Everyone Around,
But Not Me.

You Liked To Get Your Way,
Come And Go As You Please,
Then Someone Stomped Your Feet,
Not So Much At Ease?

So You Tried To Fool Me,
Feed Me Here And There,
Don't Bullshit A Bullshitter,
I Was Never Made To Be A Quitter.

I Tried To Help You See The Error Of Your Ways,
Showed You Loyalty,
But You Chose To Pay No Fealty.

Instead You Chose To Run Away,
My My, Was The Joke That Bad,
Or Did You Finally Wake Up And See,
The Devil Inside Of Me?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Chapter Sixty-Six: "Ass-Kicker"

12/9/2019

Shadow Preacher, To Each Their Own,
For Darkness Comes In Various Tones.
At First Glance-- Empty,
But Soon Darkness Swallows All.

Peaceful Quiet, Ether Burnt,
You Hid Well, Until Your Darkness Turned.
Uneasy Spirit, Broken Soul,
But You Spoke Whole.

Tolerance Bright, Familiar Territory Past Sight.
Now Onto New Ground Below Our Feet,
Just Part Of Another Prison Fleet.

You Started Untying Your Words,
Sharing Your Story, Unsheathing Your Swords,
How Similar Paths We Once Lived,
With Small Differences In Between.

Then Confusion Danced With Your Dark,
While The Serpent Looked Forward To Tearing Us Apart.

He Tried To Pose As Me,
As Once Before Long Gone Then Free.

When Sister Warned You,
Perhaps You Saw,
How Easy We Do Nothing--
But Destroy.

But Now You Are Far, Gone Away,
And As Long As You Are Safe,
There's Nothing More To Say.

Chapter Sixty-Five: "Brat"

12/1/2019

Couple Changes Here And There,
But You Never Know When To Beware,
For Misery Loves Company,
With Major Movement In Puppetry.

And Enter A New World We Did,
Filled With New Humans And A New Grid.
This Setting Was Rather Cold,
Made Me Feel At Home, I Was Sold,
But Eventually Our New Home Got Old.

And In The Repetitive Frozen Hell We Worked,
She Provided Help As We Networked.

Soon In The Horizon A New Location Would Appear,
As The Need To Fit In Would Be Craved Near.

So When We Left,
We Left A Friend Behind,
For As History Comes To Show With Us,
There's Nothing But War Inside Our Mind.

Chapter Sixty-Four: "Firecracker"

12/1/2019

Short Fuse,
Fire Ruse,
Cat Out Of The Bag,
Nothing Simple Had,
Boss In The Field,
No Smile To Steal.

Angry At Most,
Meaning Much Lost,
Gun At Her Hip,
Plenty Of Rage At The Tip.

Tolerance High,
But Zero Bullshit In Sight,
Until Others Mocked Her Too,
Behind Her Back-- Boo.

And Soon One And More Were Gone,
Leaving Behind Her Alone.

Last One Standing Was Me,
Leaving As Well, See?

Not Abandoned But Moving On,
Left Behind A Token, Now Gone.

My name is Francisco, you can call me Zisco.

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.
