| At This Time... Independence ... For ALL of Time |
| At this time� I do not desire To share my body With Others Oh yes� I've loved I remember pleasure Mind-Body-Spirit Inside tensions building It was mostly Wonderful But at this time Body-part touching Would involve too Many strings� Responsibilities Expectations Longings At this time� I have all the choices There are no Others� no Explanations to provide Schedules to juggle Obligations to fulfill Disappointments to bear Recriminations to salve Body-parts to sooth I have the sole authority Win� lose� or bland I have the only right to Make the decisions At this time� There are no Others Needing Arbitration Cajoling Pleadings I have the freedom To be self-centered Concerned with my Own well being Peaceful Joyful Reflective Pensive From time to time� I might step forth Into another's arms Into their Mind-Body For an hour-day Evening It might provide a Comfortable interlude From sole control � Or an ugly one But the conditions of Body-parts passing In the night Are outside of my Constraints for stable Long term fulfillment |
| Almost all the time� I avoid these hasty Transient Entanglements I have no need for Interim conquerings Or surrenderings My interest is in the Whole person and their Whole life� their Spirit Not just their Body-parts At this time� I am not simply in Storage waiting for THE OTHER to Complete my life� My life is complete Within myself Within my surroundings FOOTNOTE At some time� Perhaps I will meet Others of my kind Other Independents� Other Sole Authorities From individual choice We could elect to join Minds-Bodies-Spirits� One with another Another with another We will each remain Independent Respect Independence Retain the right to decide A life among equals Is my vision� I would wait for all of Time for its fulfillment Until that time� I do not desire To share my body With dependent Others I will simply live serene� Not lonely� but alone Neither Coupled nor Promiscuous Waiting for the Independents And knowing within myself That they may never arrive In my lifetime� |
