Interesting

I walked into the coffee shop
So over it I didn’t stop
To notice that the energy was shifting
Sipping chai I sat a while
Looked over captured by a smile
The rush was instantaneous feelings
You walked up with a book in hand
And asked if I had any plans
I said hello explaining I was writing
You asked if I had anything
That you could read, ironically
The book you had just finished I was reading
(Side note: I was reading The Fault in our Stars at the time)

Pour a cup of conversation
Finding you completely interesting
Sip into a sort of daydream
Like the way you say exactly what you’re thinking
“This is some delicious dialog”
Thank you for treating me 
You are interesting

I get so bored with simple minds
And you my friend are countertype
A killer grin inquiring, “What’s your story?”
“My story or the one I’m writing?”
“Either one is cool with me”
Your candor and your wit feel so inviting
I gotta go but here’s my number
Snow is falling in December
Three weeks later you are asking to personify
That day was an experience
As if you’d read my narrative
But fiction novels can’t compare to air supply

Pour a cup of conversation
Finding you completely interesting
Sip into a sort of daydream
Like the way you say exactly what you’re thinking
“This is some delicious dialog”
Thank you for treating me
With respect and a side of sensuality
A jolt of hope inspiring creativity
All I know is I am finding you completely
Interesting

Well Fed

I like fresh muffins from the oven with chai tea
These things they make me happy
So why should I feel bad for missing
The mark of a perfect body?
I crave good sauce with spaghetti
And bread just laps up all the yummy
I love food and hate all the judging
Rock blankets are not comforting

If that's what you are expecting
You can keep your perfect pretty
I am laughing and you're gaging
Love and hugs from well-fed me

Is it ugly to be healthy?
I don't get just one way of looking
It's shallow, a plated kind of beauty
Heart and mind and spirit run deep
Agreed that exercise is needed
Be mindful not prone to over eating
I just think we need to be accepting
Each species has a purpose and place

If that's not what you're expecting
You can keep your perfect pretty
I am laughing and you're gaging
Love and hugs from well-fed me

I get that there is a balance
Moderation is the key
But this beauty misconception
Was built by advertising
Surgery and marketing
With Airbrushed models who are starving
This illusion now enlightening
The broken matrix needs fixing

More aware the tide is shifting
You can keep your perfect pretty
I am laughing and you're gaging
Love and hugs from well-fed me

I like fresh muffins from the oven
With chai tea
These things they make me happy
