That Guy
That guy
In order to
Attract your
Attention,
Will throw
Caring words
At you,
To show
As if he
Really
Cares
For you
But he will
Tease and
Bully you,
If you don't
Give him
The required
Attention,
Proving to you
That he's so full of
Pretension,
As he cannot
Bear your
Rejection,
So in order to
Cope with his
Dejection,
He subjects
You to abject
Humiliation
And, what do you do?
Of course,
You walk away
Not to be
Subjugated
By his
Selfish
Decision
Or else
He'll keep
Making you
Feel demented
With his
Slanderous
Words…
And vilifying
Actions…
For, human
Relations
Are all about
Survival -
And taking
Precautions
That people
Don't walk
All over you…
And make you
The victim of
Their targeted
Precision in
Slaying you
With their
Dastardly
Derision.

Affirming That...
Attract good health,
To me and my home.
Attract wealth of understanding,
And an abundance condoned...
To me and my home.
Attract goodwill and love,
To me and my home.
Attract a forgiveness shared,
To me and my home.
Attract an increased love of God,
To me and my home.
Attract those of faith and encouragement,
To me and my home.
Attract a giving that receives graciously,
To me and my home.
Attract a growth that knows its worth,
To me and my home.
Attract a success
That leaves a mind at peace and rest.
With friends and family,
All feeling a 'givingness'.
And let it be known...
That in my home dwells a heart,
Affirming that which it needs...
To deliver what God expects!
As I journey upon this path,
He enlightens...
Whenever I come to pray to Him and ask,
For guidance to assist me
With all He gives and my tasks...
With Him I know I will pass!
And in the doing,
I am hopeful...
To attract to my life the best God has,
For me and those affirming that!
Affirming 'that' to ourselves at last!

Starts with the Year 2000
This was the beginning of another thousand year,
Started with a number 2, where chaos eventually will disappear.
This is the number of order and harmony,
Good or bad, all will be organized, which is the irony.
Our existence is a mixture of yin and yen,
Every one of us is on a different road to the everlasting garden.
Those, who want to be too good, always attract the bad,
Which means robber and robbed are in that same bed.
Someday humanity will learn not to try so hard,
Let go, follow feelings, play the game of life with an open card.
For some goodness and kindness will take over,
Only blessings shall be the part of the wise traveler.
In this moment let everyone do his/her own game,
They all have to learn not to attract problems that same.
Start a new life; attract only health, good living and true happiness,
Be yourself, forget opposition, open up for the truth
And be fearless.

Accolades Dedicated To You
Of course I have noticed,
Those wonderful things you do.
What other purpose would I have,
To be shouting your praises...
From the top of this roof?
To attract attention to myself?
Well...
I hadn't thought of making that an issue.
But then again,
From a distance that does appear to be...
What I am doing, doesn't it?
However...
If you'd like for me to stop,
Shouting out accolades dedicated to you...
I will come down.
'Are you kidding.
Let me go see if I can find that megaphone.
Don't go anywhere,
I am sure it is somewhere inside.
And I was prepared to call the police.
To report someone creating a disturbance.
With a ruining of my peace.
Should I make you a banner,
To hold above your head...
With my name on it? '

Communication Skills
Your conversation...
It's all over the place.
'I'm glad you noticed that.
Because I am responding to you.
I pride myself on listening.
And delivering immediate feedback.
So...
If you have noticed 'my' conversation,
Has been all over the place...
Not making sense OR contact?
Listen to yourself sometimes.
You will find your communication skills,
Way off track.'
So what are you saying?
I don't pay attention?
'Well,
It's like this...
If you think my conversation is scattered,
And it is just the two of us 'in' one conversation...
And I am responding to 'you'?
You figure that one out by yourself.
Because it is obvious to me,
You don't need me here...
To enjoy your own thoughts! '
True!
Maybe I should be a writer...
Huh?

The One
'Come over here' he said
'Let's you and me
talk private.
I've noticed you
noticing me
and I wonder if
that is illusion
and am I making it up
or if it is true
and you did
notice me.
If not fine
I'm gone.
If so
let's talk.
What is the truth?
She:
'Yes I noticed you-
I saw you;
I mean
but that is all-
I noticed'
He: 'Well what did you think of me
when you noticed me?
Did you like me? '
She: ,
'Like you?
I don't know you'
.
'Well what did you think.
Well I thought you, , , ,
Actually I didn't
I wasn't thinking
I was just noticing?
'
Ok, nothing
no spark?
'No, no spark.'
In my twenties i would look into every
face and ask
are you my Future One?
And each face I peered into
would be examined and evaluated
and ultimately graded
and done within 3 seconds.
But if one
noticed me
noticing
I would end up
in conversations
like the above one.

A Factor No Longer Hidden
I would not advise or recommend to anyone,
Who has grown accustomed to portraying themselves...
As innocent victims with no acknowledgement as to 'why',
They have been selectively picked.
I would not suggestion to anyone a continuance done of it.
Not in the application of the same direction...
For the sake of soliciting a quickened empathy needed.
Once maybe twice this tactic will work to suffice,
In a gathering of others to run to one's defense.
But using the same device to attract attention,
Will eventually get others to look precisely...
For evidence of a mental illness emerging,
Making to them more sense.
And it will be noticed as a factor no longer hidden.

Talking To Themselves
There is not a day that goes by,
I find myself lost for words to say.
But as each day does go by...
I realize very few are paying attention,
Whether they are in conversation or not.
And I have also noticed,
Those who are giving their undivided attention...
Are often talking to themselves.
'Well...
At least there is 'someone' captivated,
By what is being said.'

Lonely Singer
Sitting on the rock
holding a guitar on the vocation
alone without friends
searching ideas to write a new song
Stumming the guitar to sing a song
for someone he find special
he saw her in his dreams
like an angle he called her
He send his lovely song in the air
hoping the wind send it to her
melodies of romance touch his soul
hoping his angle come true
He keep on singing
his angle's eye attract his mind
his angle's smile attract his attention
his angle's beauty created his love
with joy and happiness
but unfortunally
he alone without his angle
singing beside him
and he called himself
'I'm a lonely singer'

Until an Attention Is Bestowed
A flower,
Not appreciated for the uniqueness...
Of its natural beauty,
Is no different than the oversight given...
To an imitation that represents,
That which it isn't.
Until an attention is bestowed upon it.
And only then,
When that attention becomes focused...
Does the scent of it provide enjoyment.
And all that is surrounding it,
Connects with an attachment...
As if noticed for the first time.

It Could Only Mean One Thing
My mission is to excite.
Not to bore as if that was my expertise.
Reaching to innovate and create new approaches,
To observations is what I seek to do.
That one could addendum what has been done,
For some is a preference.
And is a preference someone else dictates,
Really a 'preference' one independently makes?
Or is it just easier to accept to later throw away?
My mission is to excite.
Not to bore as if that was my expertise.
Reaching to innovate and create new approaches,
To observations is what I seek to do.
And if it seems I intentionally attempt to attract attention...
Well...
I'll put it this way,
If one is doing what one wishes to do...
And if this should attract attention?
It could only mean one thing.
Some find it difficult to do what it is they choose,
Without getting approval or feeling accepted.
And...
Well,
A seeking of acceptance hasn't done a thing to improve...
The quality of life that has been devalued as 'approved'.

Wailings
there are so many things that attract us
when we are alone our skin begins to nibble
we try not to be noticed, some taboos still exist
things that we think can do more harm to our hair
they had been falling like shreds of light on sunsets
when we speak we do not really pay attention to words
our eyes look beyond the garden fusing with a horizon
that marks a line between the past and present
sometimes i keep looking for the future like something
that i do not really believe that it exists
sexists, so many of them around us but we always miss
its real definition, we grapple for what we think is reality
you hint that it must not be something destructive as
unwanted fire in the other side of the room other than the kitchen
that it must be as smooth as the edge of a happy thought
as constructive as a plane that is so sharp cutting some
rough edges of the unwanted wood for the cabinet
somehow i like to write in-order to mislead you
guessing that this is the only thing that may give birth
to an interest in life, to drive you away from a disaster of sleep,
to make you skip the harsh trees along the road that draw mishaps
people do love what they fail to understand
equating it with mystery, with the selves that they want to delete
not knowing that it cannot be, because it simply can't be.
a stone no matter how extraordinary at the end
becomes the best sculpture carried by the soldiers of the emperor
to become the centerpiece of the empress' garden.

Who Knew? Did You? Oh...Of Course Not!
I can understand you wish not to see,
My efforts gleam and shine.
I can understand that,
Yes I do!
Because those efforts,
Getting attention I did not pursue...
Are not those of yours,
But mine.
I did not know that would become fact.
I've been too busy toiling with sweat,
To remove obstacles carried...
Too long weighted on my back.
No...
I didn't realize my conscious efforts,
Would one day get attention.
Or attract like that!
Who knew?
Did you?
Oh...
Of course not!

A Woman´s World
It is a woman´s world
The new sex symbols are men they want to look like
muscular heroes seen on TV and on films.
They train several times a day to get a perfect body
other men have, thinking they must to attract women,
but all they attract are other men who fall into
the same trap what a beautiful body is the beginning
and a goal by itself. Why is it that men have been
reduced to think of their body must be perfect when
it by itself has little value? In a world where women
are equal; men subconsciously think they have in order
to attract women must look nice and attractive.
But women are not stupid they may adore a beautiful
Body, but they prefer, after having a fling with a body
builder, marry a man with prospects who can give
them security and economic stability. Women are not
romantic, they pretend to be, but prefer to marry
a man who can look after their children regardless if
the man are the real fathers or not, because a man
will accept a foundling in the name of love.
