    Decade.

    She looks at me and at times past me to the heaven's above screaming her creator's name and hoping his hand will help her in this battle. Legs tensing and clinching around the trunk of what I once would have called mine but now, like this, it's really just an extension of her. Lines of separation between her and I are not really defined here and drawing them really doesn't make sense. Here and now is not the time or place for distinguishing differences but more appropriate enjoying the areas where she overlaps me and I cover her. Taking note to the strokes of love she throws on my canvas that hide what I was and only leave remnants that she has been here and this is hers. Covering her with my back to the heavens because there is no battle to be fought there, I allow her the pleasure of not ever having to see the demons behind her. Glaring viciously beyond her into the pits of hell at all that might attempt to capture her by surprise and letting those vapors of evil know I am here. They stay at bay simply because they know I am watching, guarding, and embracing to keep close and fight for that which is rightfully mine. Fighting to satiate her little heart's every desire. Striving to be better than she could dream of and in the process making everyone that knows her spoiled with jealousy. It isn't her fault but rather mine that they are all green with envy over what we have. Lost in each other's love but never myself and always enjoying 'us' as an indistinguishable mess of flesh. An exciting mess that never seems to dull, dim, or diminish. Years have passed and still to this day this chaos cures my mind, soothes my body, and settles my soul.

    This man will soon venture out of the late twenties and start a new life in the early thirties. The end of another decade will come and the beginning of a new one will open. Those who know me might say this could be considered the halfway point for me and yet others will contest that only the good die young so I should be safe for a very long time to come. Either way thirty is but 3 months away and along with the beginning of the new trip around the sun I vow to start several new beginnings in this decade. So here is to new beginnings in this new year soon to be new decade. I truly hope you all enjoy the point in life at which you are currently because there is no second chance to enjoy where ever you currently are right now.

    Take it easy,

    Derrick Lee Myers
