To me the definition of true masculinity - and femininity, too - is being able to lay in your own skin comfortably.

Falling In Love
Pupils focus, adrenalin swims
In the blood of life,
Feelings spark electrifying,
Heart upbeats
To beauties tune,
Femininity commands masculinity
In the game of love
Masculinity tremulous at the knees,
Intake of lungs air doubles
As femininity entices to please
Touch overtakes sight
In the pleasure zone
Akin to outer space, swinging on stars
Sliding down rainbows.
In the whirlpool of happiness
With insouciant natures they drowned
All their worries join hands and hearts
Falling deeply in love.

Glass Ceiling.
Business women power dress.
Their sole intent is to impress
The world with their efficiency
and not their femininity.
Though many try few will succeed
Men are unwilling to concede
That any woman possibly
can hope to claim equality.
Men think that masculinity
confers superiority.
Though women know it isn’t true
There’s very little they can do.
To change the system that exists.
The old boy’s network will resist.

A great Friend
The definition of a great
friend is.....
Sticking by you no matter what.
The definition of a great
friend is...
To dry away wet tears when you are you are down
The definition of a great
friend is....
To unstick you, when your struck
The definition of a great
friend is....
To help you through the hard times
The definition of a great
friend is....
To tell you when are wrong, to teach you to do riight.
The Definition of a great
friend is.....
to pray with you through hard times, to give a hand when your in need and hug you and let you see.
The definition of a
great friend is true, The definition of a great friend is you! ! ! ! ! ! !

Male and female aren’t exclusive.
There is no wholly masculine man;
Nor is there wholly feminine woman.
Fluids harden to solids;
Solids rush to fluids.
Man and woman interchange
Their masculinity and femininity.

Theses, faeces, syntheses
O the language of the thesis!
O the octopus of Academe!
‘As I argued in my previous book,
‘Some definitions of ‘definition’ in contemporary philosophy’ –
an argument which I hope to pursue
in a following volume, (and I quote) :
‘to define what we mean by ‘definition’
we must first consider
the nature of definition:
can it be itself defined? Is
its definition itself a retreat
from what definition defines? …’
and the wood of academic chairs
creaking as a lecture ends,
from which once the young sap rose
like the hope of definition
dries, decays and dessicates.

Multi Son
I am the Multi Son
my ancestor's land knows no boarder
my parents are the products of stars
my true body bound by no
gravitational limitations
I emit myself in waves e'er expanding
my blood line is of circular lineage
my dwelling 11 dimensional
my face may be seen as old
dependent upon the light
may be seen as young
could attract could repel
all based upon any
temporal perspective angle
I wear the face of familiarity
bearded in my common man masculinity
my eyes lips lashes and locks
signaling my inner femininity
People always claim to have known me
my passing presence conjuring forgotten
fragments of past life memories
for I know the full flow of time
have seen the cosmic mirror
reflecting each and every mind

Pope Joan
Goddess spoke through her,
God joined the conversation,
Refused to be imprisoned in
Wifeliness, housework, slavery,
Isolation,
A wise glow of
Femininity,
Dressed in
Masculinity,
Internal radiance
Of light
When light was dimmed,
Unshaken on
The precipice of defeat,
Vatican unknowingly
Welcomed her with
The highest rank;
A healer whose
Hands extended to
The underprivileged and the unfortunate,
A short life
Of
An eternal legacy.
A flower - never had a chance to be fruit,
Yet,
Will never wilt.

Comfortably Numb
Snow is on the mountain
Winter settles in my heart
Icy fingers are familiar
Smooth and cold and oh so hard
Comfortably numb
Frost bites deep
Tiny birds fly from my heart
White winds scream
As they leave frozen lands of my heart
Comfortably numb
I watch my hands
To see what it is they do
Their dirty, they dont build churches
They dont take risks and they dont remember you
Comfortably numb
Orion was a mighty warrior
Cleopatra was a cheap french maid
He said sweetheart I give you the moon
She says I much prefer jewelry
So in the stars he stayed
Comfortably numb
Me and jesus, we go way back
Cause we used to hang at the mall
He says you cant trust them
Theyll just put holes in your hands
So I covered him while he stole a bottle of cheap cologne
Comfortably numb
Lord, forbid, care crawled up my arm
And I killed it right on the spot
For fear it might tear out of my heart
And make me love what I do not
Comfortably
Comfortably
Comfortably numb

I Have the Right
Alas and alack: My lord is dead.
Now who will protect me in his stead
I must wed, I can’t rule alone.
It seems to be traditionally.
That no widow lady can be
allowed freedom to reign alone.
Although I have proved competent.
The powers that be are not content
My ascent, they cannot condone.
They view it as a prime disgrace!
A woman ought to know her place
They can’t face the fact. He is gone.
I am the ruling castellan
I do not want another man
Any man to usurp my throne.
I will defy their foolish laws
because I have no other course.
Use of force. I defend my own
My men swore loyalty to me
although the lords may disagree.
I am free. They serve me alone.
They respect my ability
despite my femininity
Quite happy that I rule alone.
Offended masculinity
must accept the reality
which for me. I rule, he is gone.
I am prepared to stand and fight
with naked blades defend my right
day or night to hold what I own.

Fantasy Man
I don't drink tea
Or white chablis
I sit around and watch TV
Don't send flowers
Or take showers
But I'll be there to pull your weeds
Oh,yeah
I dont read books
I dont french cook
Or stroll around in galleries
I hate opera
I hate Operah
Don't fill my head with poetry
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?
Hey,hey I ain't gonna' change
Hey,hey don't you love me this way
Hey,hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man
I don't do dishes
And I'm suspricious
Of any grown up man does
I'm homophobie
Don't do aerobics
Just lay around and catch a buzz
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?
Hey,hey I ain't gonna' change
Hey,hey don't you love me this way
Hey,hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man
Say hey,hey,hey,hey
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?
Hey,hey I ain't gonna' change
Hey,hey don't you love me this way
Hey,hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man

Definition
Definition
What does that mean?
The meaning of life
The meaning of who you are
The meaning of our dreams
How can we define?
What all that really means
Is it the definition of?
Life
Dose that mean we can be
Anything we want to be
Or is it simply
Do what you say
And be forever free
Is it the definition of?
Who you are
Accept your fallacies
And be a better
Human being
Is it the definition of?
Our dreams
Dream the impossible
And live up to your dreams
And make them all real
Who really knows?
What it all really means

Womanhood in Tantra
The nudity is not an obscenity.
The nudity either in arts or in person
Is neither moral nor immoral.
To be naked is to be unashamed
And is in the realization of
The bodily perfection and no more.
There must be no shame in the viewers’ eyes.
Femininity and sexuality
And motherhood are the female’s identity.
It is the male’s gaze that shapes a woman.
Breasts are motherhood; hips are fecundity.
She is the soil where men’s seed are grown.
Face and limbs represent femininity.
In Tantra, woman is all in all.

Suicide Sad but True
The voices make you blue
This is sad but true
Now suicide is waiting for you
This is sad but true
Pills seem to be the way now
This sad but true
The bottle is waiting
This is sad but true
What are you to do
This sad but true
Now you swallow all but two
This is sad but true
As your skin turns blue
This is sad but true
Your friend breathes into you
This is sad but true
How did this not work for you
This is sad but true
You just wanted to die too
This is sad but true
Maybe next time will do
This is sad but true
You pray the knife will cut you into
This is sad but true
What they have done to you
This is sad but true
Now this will have to do
This sad but true
Now it is done for you
This is but true

Label Yourself Anything You Wish
Why is it that you feel,
You 'must' seek a definition...
To label me and what it is I do?
And I should fit comfortably within,
Your limited boundaries?
If that works for 'you...
Fine!
Haven't I already 'suggested' to you,
Approval and acceptance are not words...
In my vocabulary?
In fact...
I think the notion of both is ridiculous!
Why are you staring at me like that?
It's true.
I do!
Can we at least agree,
You have visions of building bigger boxes.
And I will always find a way to look outside of them!
There is no need to ruin your indigestion over this.
Or roll your eyes.
Call me names.
Or do your offensive thing!
You...
Not me,
Waste time!
I've stated to you...
You can label yourself anything you wish.
Great.
The Best.
Untouchable.
Monkey Doodle...
Whatever!
I-am-not-into-that...period.
What you do...
And how you achieve 'mental security'
Is 'not' going to change...
What OR 'whom' with an 'It' or an 'Is',
That provides my insight.
And that is 'not' YOU!
It will 'never' be you!
Why are you on my doorstep,
Trying to convince me of that?
Why can't you just go home and relax?
Chill out?
Why is it you've got me in your head like that?
You've got to be sexually frustrated!
Or severely impaired by a lack of comprehension!

Salt Is.... Just Salty
There's so much in this world I cannot explain
The greatest scholars try in vain
Not because the knowledge is so loft
Not because we're growing soft
Nor because it's abstract
But in fact
Quite the opposite
Because some words there's just not a definition that can fit
The problem doesn't come from the objects
It's the simplicity that does perplex
Even the wisest of us all
Our logic does fall
Because it is so far below
How do we define the? What about slow
There's salt, and memory, and even know
What do we know if we don't know such words
People complain of jargon, taxonomic names for birds
But they can't even define what's simple
With that problem, man we got our hands full
We just cop out
Said that salt is salty, the is the, we live without
A real definition, but I think it's those words that are most profound
Belief, God Truth the list goes on, but this is where true wisdom is found
There's the trivial we can seek define
Or there's the words that matter most which will define
Us, it's those words I think that we should not just verbalize
But instead simply realize
That the definition is known by experience
It's indescribable because they're just that amazing
Our inexperience
Of what's unimportant is as tragic as not knowing
Our own Father, and the pursuit of other things to define us
Is as trivial as looking for a definition of truth.

Effortless Superiority
there he sits comfortably
without having to do
anything
much to my envy
he gets everything
love, fame, fortune
luxury, prestige, position
everything by the mere
color of his skin by the
mere sound of his name
by reason of his lineage
and genes and
his being
chosen

If we change the definition of marriage to be more inclusive, then it is logical to argue that we should broaden the definition so that won't exclude anyone.
