¡HAPPY EARTH~DAY LADY MARIA!

I LOVE YOU & THANK GOD THAT YOU MADE IT TO ANOTHER B-DAY!

¡HAPPY EARTH~DAY ®‡ø!

How can I reach out and touch you?
How I can I hold you and tell you that it will be okay?
I want you to know that I will be there when you're in distress
I’ll be that place where you can find sweet rest.

When the world seems like its coming to an end.
I’ll be there holding your hand cause I’m your friend.
When the world strives and all left is small meat
I’ll me there feeding you making sure you eat.

When the gods deny you happiness and love
I’ll I lead an army and wage war in the heavens above.
If they tear the earth and make the land hotter
I’ll be wetting your lips with cold water.

When the sands of time deny us our youth
I’ll lay besides my friend in my last black suit.
So never feel laden, carry that load to the end
I’ll be right besides you helping as your loving friend.

¡HAPPY EARTH~DAY NOEL!

I feel that EARTH~DAYS are reminders that who and what we are changes as we journey through life a little everyday. And I hope that as time marches on you’d see that your worth is not a product of your intelligence, your talent, your looks, your good works, or how much you have accomplished. Rather it is immeasurable and unchanging manifestation of your eternal and infinite oneness with the universe (and me). I hope that this day represents the cornerstone of the dual foundations of optimism and self-belief, for they are the things that will aid you on life’s journey…So as each EARTH~DAY comes, I hope you endeavor to appreciate yourself, treat yourself kindly, define your personal boundaries, be proactive in seeing that your needs are met AND broaden your horizons…¡HAPPY EARTH~DAY NOEL…I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

¡HAPPY EARTH~DAY DEAVIAN!

SO HERE WE ARE ANOTHER YEAR IS GONE BY THAT MARKS YOUR GETTING A BIT OLDER…I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU CAME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL NOW YOU ARE 8 YEARS OLD…IF ONLY I COULD HOLD TIME SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE…UNCLE LOVES YOU SO MUCH!

HAPPY EARTH~DAY ®‡ø

Parts Of YOU

Enjoy the ride as YOU flow through the universe

For today YOU only become this age but once. 

For 364 days of out the year 

YOU struggle against the current of life 

Trying to do things in your own way

And today YOU can. 

I can go on and tell that YOU are a STRANGE person 

But YOU know that already. 

I can write about how INVISIBLE YOU are 

But what’s the point?

The ONLY thing I ask on this day,

Is that YOU LET YOURSELF BE SEEN

I want YOU to transform yourself 

As YOU get closer AND closer to man that YOU are becoming. 

STAND in front of yourself 

And thank YOU for being here for YOU. 
Feel the gratitude, attention, warmth, and support,

While noticing the sense of safety YOU feel 

As YOU surround YOU. 

Feel inspired, 

Share your innermost thoughts. 

YOU may be surprised at the feelings of peace 

When YOU feel safe enough to go deep into your soul 

And share yourself with YOU

YOU are

For life is but a memory of a memory

And it is time to unbind

All that has left YOU behind 

The dread of the nothing

That strikes fear in the heart of the hereafter

And beyond and before and after

And beyond the unimaginable

But YOU know all of this already…

YOU are the struggle

Between the NO nothing

And the KNOW nothing…

This I can assure YOU is NOT nothing,

So fly free

And touch the parts YOU that YOU can see…

HAPPY EARTH~DAY HERATIO

It is said that GRACE EXISTS INSIDE OF ALL OF US & AROUND US. It is MERELY our inner beauty that radiates outward, touching everyone we meet; and that is how I see you my friend. You are that unseen hand that comes from the divine, rising up what I need most. When I am lost OR looking for that EXTRA boost of confidence I can ALWAYS count on you to be there for me. You are that rain bringing relief to drought-ridden farm in the lives of so many. You represent the LOVE that resides between two people, that gift OR check that comes unexpectedly in the mail…You are that thriving element in a world of dualities AND challenges that I admire. The way you approach the hurdles of life says a lot about the man you are. I LOVE that you have NO problem defining who OR what you are in this world; and it is because of this I SINCERELY WISH YOU A HAPPY EARTH~DAY! FOR I KNOW THAT THE WORLD IS BETTER PLACE BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE…

HAPPY EARTH~DAY WAYNE

I
want to start off by wishing you a HAPPY
EARTH~DAY! This is your day and I hope you enjoy it to the fullest. I
sincerely hope that you use this day to reflect on the year that passed AND the one that has started…LORD KNOWS I HAVE! I find it interesting how we find ourselves @
the cross-roads of time and the decisions that we make today will have an
effect on our tomorrow. NONETHELESS,
you and I both know that I am YOUR
friend AND will always be and you cannot deny that. There are
times when you are called upon to be someone you are NOT and that isn’t something I am prepared to do and for that I am sorry.
You know that I will be honest with you and you know that isn’t what you want in
your life right now…To know that we are in this place where things aren’t
things says that you do NOT
understand OR know me…I will be BOLD and say I don’t think that you
care to. Nonetheless, I wish ONLY
good things for you…from the moment we met that was my intension. It is SO interesting how as we age we STILL look for others approval in order
to feel alive…human even…but what does it give us? You are @ a point in your
life when you should question why, when AND how. This realization needs to happen for you
before you loose EVERYTHING that you
hold near and dear to you. For some odd reason getting the short end of the
stick has such a tight a hold on your psyche that it feels like the REAL thing; but it is NOT! Hence I feel that YOU
need to heal what hurts AND free up the negative energy that is keeping you
in the same place year after year. The longer you sit on things, the harder it
is to work through, and the more likely it is that you will be forced to
acknowledge it as it makes itself known to you in ways you can't predict.
Rather than waiting for this to happen, I hope that you can empower yourself by
identifying the pain AND resolving to take action toward healing it. I
know that the VERY thought of this
brings up feelings of resistance, especially since your life is fine on the
surface. I know that it is HARD for
you to dig up the past and go into it unless you are being seriously
inconvenienced by the hurt. BUT WHAT
CHOICE DO YOU HAVE? The thing is, when we are carrying the burden of our
unprocessed pain, sooner OR later,
it will inconvenience us. So it pays to be brave AND proactive, so you can save yourself a lot of
future suffering AND free up the energy that is tied up in keeping the
pain down. It is time to that you walk with your head up, with a smile on your
face. In order for you to get there, you need to make some decisions. Whatever
path you choose, resolve to go deep into the pain AND set yourself free. Remember, it is never too
late in life to heal what hurts, and there is never a better time than now. So
as you read this and go about your life please remember that my thoughts are
just that MY thoughts, I only say
what I say because I see what is to come but I realize that you can’t make
someone want to do good by themselves…they have to want it…I believe that all
life is predestined and yours and mine follow that path…I believe that
sometimes you have to let someone go in order for them to come back…So take responsibility
for fulfilling your destiny…when you do you will see that you NOT only take fate into your own hands,
but also you become the hands of your own fate. Doorways inevitably open for
you to step through, and every choice you make will lead you to where you need
to be…SO whether YOU THINK I AM ON YOUR SIDE OR NOT,
WE BOTH KNOW THAT I AM…I AM ONE THE
MOST REAL, HONEST
& OPEN HUMAN YOU WILL EVER MEET IN YOUR LIFE…SO AS
YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY, PLEASE MAKE THIS THE START OF ACCEPTING & MAKING THAT
STEP TOWARDS MAKING YOURSELF WHOLE…YOU WILL BE SUCH A BETTER MAN IF YOU
DO…

HAPPY EARTH~DAY SIS

When we spend time together

I want you to know

I enjoy your company so much

I don't want to go

You're someone I can count on

When I need a helping hand

You know me so well

You always understand

We have our ups and downs

This we both know

Through it all our bond

Still manages to grow

We may be different

In many ways

But we still enjoy each other

When together we spend our days

What I'm trying to tell you

You may already know

You're an important part in my life

And I hope this I show

HAPPY EARTH~DAY MY SISTER, I LOVE YOU

HAPPY EARTH~DAY DEAVIAN

May your spirit keep the freedom

of a butterfly in spring

and your heart be filled always

with the joys of simple things.

May your essence claim the freshness

of the new laid morning dew.

All of this...and more...

is my Birthday wish for you.

They say that every 7 years the cells in our bodies regenerate and numerology states that 7 is Thought/consciousness…So when I think about my niece I can’t help but smile. She came to this planet 7 years ago on this date in blaze of glory and she shows no sign of stopping. I am putting the energy out there and letting her know that the world is hers AND no one OR anything can change that! When you get old enough to make your way in this world, I want you to read this and remember what a SPECIAL person you are to me AND everyone else that your existence has touched…

HAPPY EARTH~DAY DERRINIQUE

Trying to get in step

Little girl trying to get in step

Skipping steps to be in step

With her bigger little sisters

Better, be in step

Than beyond steps

Out of control

Living her life in a volcano’s hole

Like a dog in heat

That knows NO better

Or worst…

Feeling comfort in the fire

For she got some breeze

Or so she feels

While her soul burns

As she yearns to be,

What she is NOT!

Talk about lost identity

But I believe that somewhere

Somehow

In the here and now

She will see her non-identity

That is thrust into obscurity

And all this obscenity

Will be mixed with her insanity

A place that exist beyond here

That shows inside her fears

I am NO soothsayer

Who is to know what is going to happen tomorrow?

And what sorrow is that holds her in its grip

That keeps her from soaring

What I do know

Is that she forgot herself

Getting ahead of herself

Trying to forget that she forgot herself

No longer a precious commodity

As she lays herself down

To receive HE that brings elicit desires

If only she lived in a world

Where nothing went wrong

A world of dreams where nothing is what it seems

But this is only but my dream

For she is a step ahead of where she should be…

HAPPY EARTH~DAY ZHIVONIA

Today's the day

We get to say

We're happy you were born-

Hooray!

They say that when a woman miscarries, that the baby that is born directly after that event will have the SENSE and ENERGY of the one that died before it. Now I can attest to this notion for I have a niece that has the SOUL of grown up that in the form of a little girl. This VERY outspoken little girl will tell the world that she is NO baby (ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE IS FOUR YEARS OLD NOW). This precocious child is nothing short of adorable, but whatever you do; do NOT tell her that she is baby!

HAPPY EARTH~DAY DAVEY

Don't Be Afraid

Do not be afraid to shine,

This world needs what you have to give.

Open up the areas of your being;

Expose them to yourself - to others.

You are valuable.

You are unique.

You have much to give.

Do not be afraid to give it.

As I sit and contemplate this your day of entry to this planet, I thought about how you are one the best people that I know…ONLY YOU DON’T FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT YOURSELF. I contemplate the various things that you have done since we became friends and I can only shake my head in disbelief…I can only HOPE that these words that I write find you and make you see what I see. I feel that you live your life with the intent of being the ODD one and though that has it benefits, it can be VERY taxing AND annoying. Hence, I feel that the first thing that I should say to you is WAKE UP! You have elevated the process of complaining to a high art. Sometimes interesting mostly exhausting, you have the ability to find a problem just about anywhere. They say that complaining in its more EVOLVED from is simply the ability to see what is not working in one’s life…if ONLY for you it followed its natural conclusion to find a solution AND apply it. Sadly, you do not get anywhere near this point and I feel that your constant complaining has become an end in itself. I say this because mostly you complain about the THINGS or PEOPLE that YOU allow to HURT and ABUSE you. In small doses, you are NOT a problem, but sadly complaining has become a huge part of you identity and that energy is just trying to spread itself. I get that you are NOT happy, how can you be? Nevertheless, blaming the world for what is wrong does NOT solve anything. IF ONLY WHEN YOU COMPLAIN YOU TORE DOWN SOME UNDESIRABLE STRUCTURE IN ORDER TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOMETHING NEW…FACE IT YOU ARE NOT MEANT FOR CERTAIN THINGS or CERTAIN PLACES, STOP FORCING YOURSELF TO DEAL WITH THEM.

After your illogical phone to me @ 2 am in the morning, I have thought asking you these questions in commemoration of your 43rd B-DAY:

1. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A MESS?
2. DO YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY SAYING THAT?
3. IS IT A BAD THING IF I REFUSE TO TOLERATE YOU?
4. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ME SAYING THAT I AM NOT PROUD OF YOU?
5. DO YOU KNOW THAT I SEE BEYOND YOU & THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE?
6. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ZAP THE POSITIVE ENERGY OUT OF LIFE?
7. WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH AN AUDIENCE THAT MOCKS & BELITTLE YOU?
8. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE CAUGHT UP IN YOURSELF?
9. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT CONSIDER OTHERS EVEN THOUGH YOU SAY YOU DO?
10. WHY ARE YOU OBESSIVE COMPULSIVE?
11. WHY CAN’T YOU PROCESS & RELEASE?
12. WHO GAVE YOU THAT GLORIFIED SOAP BOX UPON WHICH YOU STAND?
13. WHAT MAKES YOU BETTER THAN EVERY GAY MAN?
14. WHY SO MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS DON’T REGARD YOU?
15. WHY YOUR EX GIRLFRIENDS DON’T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOU?
16. WHY IS YOUR WAY OR NOW WAY?
17. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO YOURSELF?
18. DO YOU CARE?
19. I SUSPECT PSYCHOSIS, DO YOU?
20. DO YOU KNOW THAT I SACRIFICE WHAT I FEEL IS TRUE TO TOLERATE YOU?
21. THIS DAY FORTH I AM FOCUSED ON ME, HOW ABOUT YOU REALLY DO THE SAME?
22. DON’T YOU FIND IT WEIRD THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYONE TO SHARE YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY WITH?
23. DO YOU THINK THE THINGS I AM SAYING ARE HURTFUL?
24. CAN YOU PRETEND TO FEEL THEM?
25. WHY DO YOU HATE PROGRESS?
26. WHY DO YOU TELL THE SAME STORIES OVER & OVER AGAIN?
27. CAN YOU DISMISS THE NEGATIVE & DRAINING ENERGY FROM YOUR SPACE?
28. DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU DO YOU WILL DISAPPEAR?
29. DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS NOT OK FOR OTHERS TO SAY ‘OH THAT IS NO BIG DEAL; IT’S JUST HOW YOU BEHAVE?’
30. DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE IT IS NOT COOL TO ALWAYS LOOK FOR A PAT ON THE BACK?
31. CAN YOU SEE THE LESSON & NOT THE WORK?
32. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU BLOCK ALL OF YOUR BLESSINGS?
33. WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF AGING?
34. DOES IT HURT IF I SAY THAT IF I WERE YOU I WOULD BE TOO?
35. DO YOU ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE? REALLY?
36. CAN YOU LAUGH UNTIL YOU GASP FOR BREATH?
37. CAN YOU NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHING FOR AN ENTIRE MINUTE?
38. CAN YOU ADMIT THAT YOU ARE WRONG SOMETIMES?
39. CAN YOU NOT TAKE GUILT TRIPS?
40. DO YOU FEEL GRATEFUL FOR BEING ALIVE? REALLY?
41. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IF YOU GET LIFE WRONG YOU ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT? THEN WHY TAKE THAT PATH?
42. CAN YOU SEE ME FOR THE MAN THAT I AM & NOT WHAT YOU THINK I AM?
43. CAN YOU READ THIS, THINK ABOUT WHAT I AM ASKING & TRY TO MAKE SOME CHANGES ABOUT YOURSELF?

NOW I KNOW THAT THERE ARE THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE THAT WILL READ THIS & FEEL THAT I AM HARSH OR RATHER I SHOULD SEEK HER OUT, SIT DOWN WITH & TALK TO HER...I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT CONCEPT, BUT WHEN SOME PEOPLE ARE LOST TO THEMSELVES IT IS VERY, VERY VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM ACCEPT CERTAIN THINGS. THOUGH THIS IS A NEGATIVE ENTRY FOR SUCH A HAPPY OCCASSION I FELT IT NECESSARY TO WRITE IT FOR THIS DAY BECAUSE I WANT IT TO HIT HOME. I DO NOT FOR ONE MINUTE FEEL THAT I AM BETTER or HATE DAVEY, I JUST WANT HER TO BE HAPPY WITH WHO SHE IS AS A WOMAN, LESBIAN, SISTER, DAUGHTER, AUNT & FRIEND...

HAPPY EARTH~DAY JAMIKO

As you acknowledge this as your day of entry on this planet, I would like for you see this time of year; this season as the time for you to gestate. Your life as it is WILL bloom, but only AFTER you have ENDURED a period of cold. I know that LIFE is hard because you are HELD in the dark, but know that you are undergoing INTERNAL adjustments AND CHANGES invisible to the eye. Just like you were 24 years ago on this day, gestating in the lightless, watery wombs of your mother, you were fully engaged in the process of preparing to be born. Your life is a MYSTERY that is cloaked within a POWERFUL urge for growth enclosed in a small, dark space. Know that as you YEARN for the light that what you see will cause you to loose PATIENCE for, and interest in, the darkness that is keeping you. However this process is what you need right now, LIFE needs you to be still AND work on YOU! This phase of your growth has SO much control over your life, yet I am asking that you CELEBRATE it in the same vain as you do with the lighter AND brighter phase of your life. This will foster UNDISTRACTED energy that fosters PURE thoughts; the LAW OF ATTRACTION states that like attracts like AND influences ALL energy. When you BREATHE in the air of those that does NOT energetically lift you, it HURTS your soul. Hold POSITIVE thoughts in your mind keep them near you @ all times and do NOT focus on the things that are beyond you. @ THE CORE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE OKAY, YOU MUST KNOW THAT I AM PULLING FOR YOU…YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOUR LIFE IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT…YOUR THOUGHTS & FEELINGS EXIST IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER, ALWAYS LISTEN & TRUST THEM. ON THIS DAY I WANT YOU TO MAKE A PROMISE TO YOURSELF THAT YOU WILL HAVE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON YOUR LIFE THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO DANCE, MOVE & BREATHE YOURSELF INTO EXISTENCE.

HAPPY EARTH~DAY MOTHER

As a boy growing up, I can remember the day that I asked my mother her and she told that she was 28. @ That moment I thought to myself that when she is 30 I will be 10, 40 I will 20 AND 50 I will be 30. Now the STRANGEST thing about that day is that I saw my mom as an adult, someone that is so GROWN up AND has it all together…FUNNY how I got to be that and I did NOT feel OR thought of myself as I saw her. My mother turning 50 made me realize how time really flies AND how @ that age I never gave any thought as to what kind of man I would be OR where I would be in my life. Nonetheless, the time is here AND I am HAPPY with where I am; I am HAPPY with who I am AND NO one on this earth can get in the way of that. I remember telling my mother about my sexuality, it was VERY difficult AND terrifying but I did it nonetheless. From that day until now our relationship has NOT changed, she is still the ONLY woman in my life L(O)L! AND I would NOT have it any other way. My mother proved to me that she is STRONG and UNSTOPPABLE…she made it this far without half of the things that are @ my fingertips. I know that she sacrifice herself for both my sister AND I, for that I will be ETERNALLY grateful. As a child growing up and going to school and having to write stories about my hero it was always my mother that was the subject. ON THIS DAY I WANT TO SAY HAPPY EARTH DAY TO A WOMAN THAT IS MY MOTHER & FATHER…I WANT TO THANK HER FOR BEING THE VESSEL THAT BROUGHT ME HERE…I WANT TO SAY THAT I WOULD NOT CHANGE HER FOR ANOTHER…I WANT HER TO ENJOY THIS HER DAY & I HOPE SHE GETS 50 MORE YEARS ON THIS EARTH TO BE MY MOTHER…

HAPPY B-DAY ®‡ø

R U HAPPY?

On this your day as you get older

And life comes @ you fast…

Can you tell me that you are happy?

You seem so still;

Moving @ a slow pace

R u moving @ all?

I sit here watching you walk on STONE all alone,

Bearing only that which is pure to you…

I wish I only knew what that was

As you walk the shore of the life you have been living.

Staring into breaking waves

Do you have memories of broken days?

…The times that went away?

Reflecting on your life,

Do you dream you are home?

R u in the company of the LOVE you know?

How can you separate life from dream?

As you lay alone,

Motionless without breath.
