Who Are You?

Who Are You?

Tell me about yourself
What do you ach for
Do you dare to dream
What is your hearts longing

Would you risk being a fool for love
Your dreams
An adventure in being alive
To touch the center of your sorrow

Have you been opened up by life’s betrayals
Or have you become shriveled
Closed to from fear of further pain
Can you sit with pain, mine or your own

If we dance, will it be with wildness
Letting ecstasy fill you to your soul
Without cautioning us to be careful, realistic
Remembering we as humans have limitations

Is your story true or false to me it doesn’t matter
Will you betray another to be true to yourself
Can you bear the accusation of betrayal
Would you betray your own soul

Can you be faithful and trustworthy
Can you see beauty even on a stormy day
What do you believe is the source of life
What are your spiritual beliefs

If you experience failure can you live with it
Yours, but mine also
Could you stand on the edge of a cliff
Screaming out to the world what you feel in that moment

After a night of grief, despair, weary, bruised to your soul
Will you rise up out of bed
To take care of the needs of others
Will you stand with me in the center of HELL and not shrink back

When all else is gone
What sustains you within
Can you be alone with you
Do you truly like your own company in empty moments
These questions answered will tell me all I need
To decide if
If
Our worlds will blend

Sensitive Olfactory

I must confess I love the wonderful manly scent of you
No strong odors of perfumed soap for you will do
Just good old Ivory soap upon your skin is all you trust
Until, I introduced you to just a touch of musk

I love to smell the essence of you left within the sheets
To wear your shirt soaked in your aroma so exotically sweet
My olfactory nerves are over sensitive to every fragrance of you it’s true
I must confess
I’m totally obsessed
With the very manly scent
that is uniquely
you

UPDATE (where is the new site, dammit?!)

TIBU2.com is still in development, but will be going live before much longer. We're sorry that it's taken so long, but a thing like this is worth doing right. Our development staff has been halved, and with moving and houses and babies flying around, things have been distracting.

The site has been tested- and re-tested- ad nauseum, but mistakes certainly will be revealed as more and more people use the site when it goes live.

The initial launched site will be bare-bones, but more features and functionality will be added as things progress, and the creation will be an ever-evolving process in which we encourage you to take part.

We're glad that you all have shown such interest in the TIBU2.

Thank you- for your patronage, your patience, and your ongoing faith.

Broken Pearls

Time passed by
Were you walking with me?
Talking to me?
Left over’s of yesterdays gone
Stored memories put away
Closed curtains steal the moonlights shine
I masquerading in leather, lace and Pearls
Became something I thought you wanted
Though it was just your disguise
In broken promises
Static phone calls
Please I tell my audienceLearn my lesson well
I say,It’s not us really…
It’s their game
Cat
Mouse
Superman’s cape
I sat on his lap
YesBlindfolded
Love is blind after all
Trust
screaming
I always knew it was my biggest mistake….
So I lay here now in dead silence
Ripping pearls
Ripping lace
It was never me anyway….
I was not leather
Or number one in your book
I walk away
Laughng
At the tears I spent on so many pages
Why?
Healing in what?
Time…..
Your letters caused a blaze
Made for good fire wood
Yesterday begins to smolder
Oh Dear….
Maybe it was just the pearls after all…..

TIBU2 UPDATE

The Talkshoe broadcast did not happen, as some of you may know.  It was a connectivity issue.  There is another one scheduled, and you can check here for more information.

One of our developers flaked out on us, so we are down to one person, and the launch date looms.  2-1-2009 is the goal, and we hope to get everyone situated and satisfied, but we're certain that there will be a goodly amount of woodshedding necessary in the process, and we thank you in advance for your patience.

Of course, any suggestions, questions, threats, insults, candy or bribes may be directed to: tibu.two@gmail.com.

Thanks.
