Half baked—I say that because
Today’s train of thought feels stoked with
Intuitive need to tunnel back into the oven as
Though in readiness to convey
Additional insights, which are about to
Melt ever so deeply into
Those that proved piping hot for
Public consumption, yesterday
So—all aboard—here we go—
If only the spirits of sages on
High had stopped by to
Visit while Annie and Joseph
Had been standing in
The alley staring into
Each other's eyes
This one act play
Would have offered
A happily ever after ending to
Their story ...
I know this to be true
Because the voice of wisdom
Would surely have said:
Hello, Annie and Joseph
My name is Socrates and
Standing next to me is my pal The Bard
And since we're mighty glad to meet
A pair of kids as nice as you, we’ve swooped
On down to ensure that your love, being
Heaven sent, rings true for all time
So please listen up and
Pay close attention to that which
The experiential wisdom of sages (passed
Down through the ages) feels need to clarify
For every next generation of
Youngsters, who, left stewing over repressed fear
And anger, tend to pave their paths with
Hard knocks, which, over time, transform
Smart hearts into boulder sized, self defeating
Rocks, which pound soothing words of love into dust
If at this point in time you’re still yearning for true love that
Permeates a pair of tender hearts so deeply as to
Last through thick and thin, forever and a day then
Wisdom suggests that you’ve likely experienced
Sound reason to set out upon a brain-quest with
Courage and patience leading a host of inner
Strengths to carve out an existential path upon which
The emergence of insight-laden intuition discovers
Subconscious patterns of self defeating thoughts, which
Quick as lightening strikes, flash in and out of our minds
Each time repressed patterns of (self defeating) thoughts
Dart through our minds quick as lightening strikes, our
Brains jumpstart a surge of negatively charged energy
(Based in painful insecurities, buried alive), to arise as if
A ghost-like presence of doom and gloom, looming overhead
Darkkens today’s possibilities of achieving success by
Haunting our current state of mind with shadowy visions of
Beloved, yet austere, authority figures casting harsh
Assessments at a good child’s minor transgressions before we’d
Grown so bold as to have developed a voice of our own
Children put down too harshly for failing to meet unrealistic
Parental expectations of perfection absorb perfectionistic
Aspirations of their own, and as long as yesteryear’s
Harsh assessments remain unexamined, our
‘Marred’ reputations prove too painfully confounding for
The processors of good kids to fathom with clarity intact
Resulting in our brains’ unconscious absorption of
Self disparaging self assessments, swirling round inside
Our heads, dizzying intelligent adult minds to mistakenly
Perceive of every self degrading misperception as factual
In order to expose and expunge classic insecurities to which
We remain blind and deaf as long as they remain secreted
From conscious awareness beind our egos’
Self protective personas, we’d be wise to grow
Ever more aware of sighting those times when our
Intuitive powers are guiding our dizzied intelligence to
Muster the tag team of patience and courage to
Dive ever more deeply into our psyches’ innermost
Sanctums, where sparks of negatively-charged energy ignite
Spikes of static anxiety that tap into basic survival instincts
Each time an intuitive quest for existential freedom arouses
Basic survival instincts as though to signal self awareness of
Hot spots of yesteryear’s unresolved anger and fear rubbing
Anxiously against each other, emotional friction feels so electrically
Charged as to fuel the conscious portion of our brains to reel with
Subconscious reactivity that feels so explosive as to need to be
Identified, released, understood and relieved, at long last
Clearing our minds of emotional combustion so as to free our creative
Intelligence to do more than fight, flee or freeze (as dictated by
Basic instincts) once brains are calm, intuition kicks in with a plan
As self defeating insecurities surface (releasing
Repressed vulnerabilities, held captive behind our
Sgos’ protective personas) a self soothing trickle of
Humility will serve to soften harsh self assessments
Absorbed unconsciously during youth’s rough patches
And once we choose to salve emotional pain, long
Repressed, with a self nurturing sense of compassion
Sadly denied to yesteryear’s deeply confounded child
Our personal quest to self heal begins to meet with success
Each time your sense of compassion (concerning
Youthful transgressions) consciously soothes your
Injured ego’s burning sense of humiliation from
Arising and flaring beyond humility, your processor
Calms so naturally as to peacefully re-evaluate and
Recalibrate your inner strengths and vulnerabilities with
A growing sense of objective clarity that accompanies
Hindsight’s heightening degrees of emotional maturity, which
(Having calmed your basic instincts’ need to
Fight Flee or Freeze to save your life) frees—guess what?
Each time your heightened sense of emotional maturity
Makes sound use of your conscious Line of Self Control so as
Not to beat yourself up upon reflecting over past mistakes in
Judgement, your processor’s insight-laden power of
Intuitive thought is freed to spotlight additional insecurities, which
Prove in need of repair, long overdue, and thus does each forward
Step taken upon life’s four staged path, which we all tread, see
Everyone questing (whether we know it or not) for existential freedom
From self conceived disparagement in hopes that we’ll turn a corner
Where, much to our delight, change for the better awaits our arrival
Once outdated insecurities emerge, clearing your windpipe of
Untruths, which made it hard to breathe, healthy space is created
Within the well spring of your mind (and mine) to fully oxygenate
Positively focused attitudes concerning intuitive need to expand
Our capacity to embrace (and then consciously tame) natural
Emotional reactions, which we were taught to revile, and once
Our spectrum of acceptable emotional reactions expands ever
More clearly and peacefully into our processors than ever before
Guess what feels naturally pieced together and healed,?
The wholesome existential beings whom we were meant to be!
Once a lasting sense of mental clarity replaces your
Swirling sense of inner conflict concerning subconscious
Bouts of unresolved insecurities crashing into fact based
Self assurances, spikes of latent anxiety transform
Naturally into peaceful attitudes graced with
Self respectful high self-esteem, which boosts
Not boasts) a fully charged, courageous sense of positively
Focused self confidence that flips the lid off of our hearts'
Half full cups, freeing renewed feelings of wholesomeness to
Strengthen so as to last through our lives for this reason:
As each one’s whole heart wells up with
A growing capacity for offering and
Absorbing love with an expansive sense of
Generosity of spirit than had
Ever felt possible before, self protective
Defensive reactiveness, which proves egocentric, relaxes, and
Guess what kicks in? Endless strings of insight-laden intuition
Suggesting why classic trains of thought throughout the ages
Suggesting that everything and everyone is
Connected have always been on target, after all!
So—if your processor wishes to visit with a pair of
Sages from on high, thus inspiring your imagination to
Experience the mystical nature of this step by step
Mental transformation for yourselves then
What’s to stop your intelligence from setting out upon
A self-motivated adventurous quest toward re-adjusting your
Misconceived self perceptions, right now, so that rather than
Feeling attacked from within by latent bouts of unresolved anxiety
Spiking, You, too, can free your heart to rejoice while openly welcoming
The sweetest taste of True Love's first kiss free of fear—at long last
And that my friends is the wondrous state of
Enchantment which would have released a pair of
Mortal spirits to soar up to Cloud 9 had two friendly sages
Namely Socrates and The Bard winged down so as to wave
Magic words of Wisdom over the flash frozen dizzied heads of
Annie and Joseph BEFORE FIRST KISS Part 13 exposes
Sound reason as to why a tender hearted love struck
Lad and lass are about to crash head on into
An emotionally fired up, all reactors blazing
Painfully humiliating mega melt down on center stage
Alas—
As you must
Have surmised ...
Thee shalt not
Witness
Bliss
At the end of
FIRST KISS
For these
Three reasons:
As Annie is twelve, she, Socrates and The Bard
Will not meet up for
Quite some time ...As for Joseph befriending
Socrates and The Bard
Well—your guess if their paths had crossed
Is as good as mine ...
Bottom line—preteen brains are hard wired
To feel naturally, explosively emotionally reactive
Rather than being reflectively deeply introspective
So—If
Young love's first kiss is not
Fated to delight
A star-struck pair of preteen hearts
Then—now that I’ve consciously prepared
My bout with latent anxiety to relax—let's
Take a look at what will go wrong right after
Joseph's budding passion for Annie wells up
Splashing a natural build up of
Impassioned emotion all over their very first lip lock ...
(And as the same is true of the well spring of words that
Splashes out of my brain, I sure could use an editor! :-)
