Sips of Me: I'm a multidimensional nonconformist and non-elitist of many faces and colors.. "Alana" ~ Small Goddess of Whispers birthed in the night Of resonant wings now forever in flight By day she lies silent, veiled in "T" sheath While wandering worlds, this aura to keep Awakened by "Random," Energy Priestess who serves as the fuse An ember fades quickly without dancing hues~ ~My language of choice This tongue that I use No taste for thought- provoking? You'll not be fond of my muse~ ~I'm honest up front In honor of you For everyone, not This Poetess In Situ~ ~My circle is small, I like it this way My intent is to learn, connect, share And give back if I may~ ~If you don't wanna hang I'll understand Peace be with you I'm quite comfortable in the abyss Alone in my land~ ~A guide in healing My dharma now found Endless vessels before me Attachment to none, am I bound~ ~Integrative Yoga Therapy instructor Writer of anything to provoke your mind Visionary, Stirrer And Usui Reiki Master, in due time ~Never better nor freer Just happy to breathe I've traded a lot The way the world sees~ ~So much to write But little to speak The world is too noisy already Wouldn't you agree?~ ~I offer my words For those who remain True colors of me Birthed of joy and of pain~ ~I offer my heart None other more true Trust me, you'll see I'll be here for you~ ~To sense your embrace This union to feel A circle of souls For fun and to heal~ ~The choice is all yours To yourself be true Will you go for the masses Or a Poetess In Situ?~ ~That being said, a few Sips of Me~ Maintenance - zilch Material possessions of value - none Compassionate and giving A true Scorpio Goddess This one My sense of humor Some think it weird Different, agreed I don't find it funny To what most snicker and jeer My head's often in the clouds But I like it up here On permanent social sabbatical I delight in this existence With not many near I'm passionate, extreme And independent as hell No fragility here Quite charming traits To those who know me well I don't ask for much I'm quiet and small Just courtesy, respect, And equality for All Simple pleasure euphoria: sharing breath, eucalyptus, spinal twists, entangled legs, animal and baby heartbeats, open windows, my daughter's laughter, capturing moments, powerful music, guitars and their masters, Honest Tea, the smell and sound of rain, sloppy puppy kisses, silence, holding hands, the sun all over me, sweat and tears, sounds of the ocean, back kisses, Mendhi, bleeding hearts by the bunches and this little idea - no pain, no pain ;)     See, I told you it's easy Getting along with me If people would just relax The whole world better to be Nevertheless, I'm only human like you And my patience sometimes shot For certain people and ways One shred of compassion or tolerance, I have not Vanity, prejudice, violence, hypocrisy, facades, animal cruelty, child abuse, one-uppers, greed, confiners, space invaders and energy suckers, people who don't get it (and refuse to try), hints and headgames, suck-ups, attention whores, arrogance, exploitation.. We just won't fit If this describes you Never one to become We'll always be two I despise competition and debating senseless s--t.  I'll gladly just walk away, perfectly content in knowing what I know, rather than argue or run a race with you.  Time and energy are scarce in this life, ya know.  Poor table manners, adult temper tantrums, narrow minds, outside voices inside, guilt trips, magazine smiles, questions that I couldn't possibly answer, people measurements and minion pornography. I find them all TOXIC and RUDE.  Please refrain from insulting my intelligence or patronizing me. I said, "Please!"    A few little notes on my chosen modus vivendi... You don't have to dig; I said they're for me... ~Surviving is important, to thrive elegant~   ~It's a great life if you don't weaken~   ~For two years my watch never worn My time much better spent~ ~An ember is just as intriguing as a flame ~Do what you like, like what you do~   ~Mean what you say, say what you mean (deep, eh?)~ ~Let's color outside the lines for a change~   ~Still here?~ ~Welcome to my abode~
