Mistress

What's in a name?

Some would have you think "nothing",

But I say otherwise.

It's all in the name.

Don't deny it.

But

What's in the name to 

You?

Is it the one that exists to meet you

Where you are?

The one that you know

You could live without?

The one whose time

You feel is disposable?

Or

Is it one that commands

The utmost respect?

The one that you know

Will demand your best?

The one who you understand

Will hold you to your place?

Hear me when I say

You best be aware of the ones who will

Snap you back into place

Without a second thought

To your pride.

So,

What's in the name

To you?

Risk, Reward, Recovery

<What are you willing to lose in order to gain?>

What’s the nature of the toll?

<Name your price.>

Magnetic North

If I close my eyes,

It’s as if I’m spinning.

I’ve no sense where north is.

I could fall out right here,

But something keeps me upright.

Maybe it’s centrifugal force…

Whatever the case

It’s my senses that keep me planted

In the moment

Like a magnetized pull.
