Heads Up on Earlier Writings

yesterday I posted a few poems I had written in 1984-1986. I had to re-word a couple of the poems to fit into this era, lol. Although a few of the poems were written for a couple of men I  was smitten with at the time, they can apply to a couple of the guys I have been  smitten with over the years in this era. Parallel  Lines was written 24 years ago .
    I am going through some of my older material, stuff I scribbled in note books, typed out on a typewriter or wrote on any scrap paper available. A lot of the writings in the 80's were on the dark side, hahaha, I chose to keep the personal ones to myself and not publish others due to their odd content. As I go through some of my earlier works I will share with you. It's interesting and fun to go through my earlier stuff

I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
