Conspicuously Absent

Conspicuously Absent

by dwayneyawned


My tigger, my hobbes, 

my sweet radish, 

my purple rain, 

my glorious chu, 

my infernal beating heart, 

my parallel reflection 

my perpendicular 

the soft pulsing glow 

of your kindly fullsome embrace 

my dinky pinky 

my velvety snow 

my coat when the world is cold 

my snugglebun when the road 

is a rough, dark, inky tuft 

my diarrhea eyes 

my softness disguised 

in your gaze 

I languish 

in your chase 

I flourish 

only to lose myself 

in the silent present 

that has you 

conspicuously absent.

Freedom Tastes Like Tempeh

New lease on life - Check  Scruffy cat at foot of bed - Check  Snoozing lover gently snoring - Check   What more could someone ask for?  Hello World, I have shed some of your shackles and I would love to keep them off, maybe helping others while I continue to travel along the road towards a free life full of infinite love, expanded consciousness and the wisdom of the ages.  Thank you for spending your time and mind on this humble platform of mine.   DW <3 #firstpost #hello #goals

Ozone

Dedicated to Nick and Rus, loves of my life. Ozone  by dwayneyawned Our paths were always meant  to cross,  Though we flit  through  friends,  time and space,   Though we face this temporary loss.   Our paths were always meant  to join    Though we weave  through  fate, lust and place,   Though our lives dance  on the edge of a coin.   Our paths were always  meant  to twine,     Not once nor twice  but thrice in time.   For now, for ever,  in stanzas, in rhyme.     Around each other  in tightening orbits,   We gravitate, we rotate, we oscillate.    Dancing in love we sync  While  Deeper in love we sink.   Through the pull   of ominous forces we'll hurtle  Separation, incarceration,   compartmentalization.  Though in the moment,   all might seem unstable   At the ends of time to realise   we were always able. #throuple #polyamory #poem

Spiritual Engineering

As an engineer, I’ve been trained to apply the scientific methods of seeking the truth, continuous optimization and bringing improvement to mechanical and chemical systems.  Its easy to extrapolate this to the more visible and visceral elements of life and living - work, friendship, fitness, etc.  It is only of late that I realize the extreme benefit of consciously bringing this strategy to the realms of LOVE, WISDOM and SPIRITUALITY - also complex systems that require a deeper understanding, yet CAN BE UNDERSTOOD and EXPERIENCED and OPTIMISED.  Whoever said that a purpose-filled life, a love that defies the ages and a structured plan for spiritual growth could not be engineered??  Some basic principles:  1) Find commonalities, patterns, reusable equations / causations and correlations.  2) Test hypotheses and theories - Does it work? Are things optimized?  3) Never be afraid to discard failures.  4) Replicate successes. Automate successful practices.  5) Seek feedback continuously, se
