“Jaded”
In the end, we seek comfort
tried and true is easier to
swallow and the unknown
becomes the window of
"way too much to lose"
indeed could be the case
instead i stand still
neither hot nor cold
wondering if a house
full of cats is in
my future

Q'06
To the Lonely by Jeff Pierce
Hope springs eternal; fine cuisine from what was once but a mere kernel
True love and "to die for" devotion, may appear like the sun over the ocean
Be genuine with your heart and mind; do for the needy
Joy and bliss is what folks miss when greedy
You will reap a harvest of affection rare; surround yourself with love
Don’t abandon that dream for today he may come wanting to share
Lady, just because you haven't seen the spoils
Doesn’t mean you are to be alone; remember, a watched pot never boils
Let compassion dictate the fashion and set the tone
In brief, forsake grief and just be YOU
Obsessing won't bring magnificent blessings to you
Just let your beauty show for you are truly worthy
Soon that someone special too will know
Don’t be jaded; lonely folks have found joy and bliss
Take it from me; I am one of those who made it

neither hot nor cold
all the time you’re growing old...
sometimes here and there
finding you can only just bare
the strain of the pain
left in your heart
that long dark road
not wanting to start anything alone
but your soul is bare to the bone...
I feel you...I do...

Swallowing sounds more like a gulp,
forcing space to expand where vocal chords stop,
slurping down the chill like 7-eleven in the summertime
or absorbing the steam from an over-priced latte
as winter stings.
Stand still,
toggle between your images until
the mosaic fits between the plasma TV
and yesterday's Chinese food.
Cat prints dance across Egypt's ancient tiles
like a prissy sphinx,
housed with nothing but royalty
and fiercely undomesticated;
aloof,
pristine,
fired with marbled eyes.
Look beyond multiplicity
and find these engendered qualities
unmatched in the canine world.
Comfort
need not be excess,
just as the song needn't be
louder than 2 tweets on the sill
for us to hear.

to be Jaded is a state of mind, even though reality does sometime lie, but the words that I place on this blank space is telling you not to follow the rat race, don't let a house full of cats be your cast to be the substitute for the warmth of a man, to feel his lips, and caress his hands.
No dear lovely maiden, be not the nail into
the wall of a house but be the house, showing
all your glamor, all your spark and then before
you know someone will walk right into your heart.
