Southern Shores

-



She’s guarded and silent. Standing at attention. Smiling for the fanfare.
Working for her son. Replacing what she’s lost. Getting back to zero.
Recouping her confidence. Wandering about chances. Stranded looking…

Before her is an ocean. She wants to feel those waves. To be overpowered.
Engulfed by the motion. Losing control of the flow. Can’t feel the bottom.
That’s all she really wants. Not to touch the bottom any longer.

Does she have it left inside. To leave the shore. Paddling to great depth.
Wading and bobbing. The strength to tread against the forces.
Pushing her back to the stranded shore. Chance and risk; new promises.

Like the social worker with storied past, on overwatch until further notice.
Always to defend? Perhaps, there’s some warrior spirit left.
When the wind blows past her ear. Whispering. Talking.
The voice of nature. Her sense of adventure calling.
Sun’s reflection off the ocean blue. Giving signal.
Legs charge forward. Feet kicking salty water.
Temperature unchecked. Goosebumps rise.
Further. Deeper. Colder. Stronger. Alive.
She doesn’t look back. She’s bouncing.
No bottom. Chancing danger. Faith.
Drifting winds. Futures uncertain.
She’s found something adrift…

Uncertainty is nature’s romance. She’s falling for the empty canvas.
Making spirited daydreams a possibility. Excited for the journey.
Wanting to redeem bad memories and leaving the future to chance.
For the only path to romantic salvation lies within someone else.
Father from her island she’s closer to another shore. Eagerly awaiting…

Girlfriend Application

  by: Michael L. Craver This is the result of a quarter-century of time, hundreds of thousands of messages, and common sense. My best advice is to think hard... Show enthusiasm and creativity and tell the complete truth. The more well-thought out and precise every answer is, the better off everyone will be.  Here we go... 1.       Describe your transportation situation (i.e., own, rent, lease, hitchhiking): 2.       Describe your living situation (i.e., owner, renter, squatting, halfway house): 3.       Describe your career situation (i.e., full-time, part-time, crowdfunded, welfare): 4.       What is your availability (work schedule, custody, commitments)? 5.       Have you participated in adult entertainment (defined as selling photos, videos, performing on stage, or otherwise NSFW content with or without pay): 6.  ...

The M Path

by Michael L. Craver Giving birth is the beginning of a new journey. Changing times mean no path is certain. The chance to succeed or fail is beyond any math or science… An obligation to evasively maneuver the winding roads that will remain under construction for eternity. Carrying a weight of unknown potential and sacrificing every moment going forward- the gravity of decisions. The quality of our future depends on the choices of caregivers. The idea of ‘self’ is an extension of one’s body and incorporates everything that affects us. Doing for another is a karmic offering to the environment around us. The many moving elements of the world help determine each butterfly effect. What we do for ourselves includes the deeds toward others that bounce back our way. Mothers are the ultimate scientists. Raising these live studies in humanity. Mixing the need for compassion and emotional balance with the bold truth of where the world is today. Having to choose what may or will be… Many th...
