Canadian A lover a classic books and poetry, Patrick Leduc has spent much of his time trying to spread that influence around to those close to him.
I wrote about you leaving me(.) alone. The other day I wanted to say that “I love you” but I forgot halfway through if I did or not. When I think about what we really are humans, two white humans man and woman brown and yellow hazel and sapphire how are we so different? We both are creatures made of paper bound together with ropes of letters against a rock awaiting the whale. But if you were the same as me, you'd have scars in the same places as me along your neck, your left leg your heart. You would remember the trees along the train tracks the overpass how the wind and the gravel and the dark wrapped around you and you forgot to let go of the gate love is a four letter word that fits into a five letter (heart) one heart is a five letter word that fits into a three letter (you) one you is a three letter word that fits into a two letter (me) one “I love -”

Letters
What is "it"? is "it" a noun, verb, adjective an unstoppable force, an immovable object is it tangible can i hold it in my hand against my cheek? Can i sip it through a red and white straw in a smudged glass? does it hurt when it misses your mitt but doesn't miss your chest does it crawl into bed after you've said your prayers? is it **** is it fun can you still smile after you see it or is it frown city does more of it make you smile or only cry less Is it a concept that you pay to have explained graphed, charted, read? little by little it tuns to that.

Oblique
Wondrous Flashing Light beyond all powers Beyond all stars enormous yet Delicate Ever present in- Eternal Majestic thinking of you washes away every thought every action Nature, The Heavens and the Earth collapse in nothingness next to you words are Fickle THEY mean nothing Living to love you is the only Way to live -Finite

Lord
Emeral seas Ruby skies Floating freely upon the sea A Ship, solid wooden, Dragon faced carrying untold beauties upon its frame Slithering mass Strangling arms Strength beyond comprehension No fury No malice Just BEING A storm From The east rises winds propel And rocks Sharpen Waves crash Lightening jolts around the BLack Horror Nothing remains save the broken planks and the golden crown of one who was Loyal

A story of the Sea
The sky Black with stars Carries the weight of life The sun watches from Afar Alone Knowing that nothing Can apporach for fear Of being destroyed A star falls to the ground A bird flies into the sky Trees reach with all their might towards the heavens But move not an inch from where they stand The fog moves in Nothing can be seen White covering, floating Like snow above The ground Lone the bird watches His life unfold Through the eyes of The moon Afar Alone Silent Alive

The sky
Fluid contours Surrounding the old tree outside the window. Filled with colours of a forgotten past vivid, exuberant Drifting into the bleak bitter present. Sepia toned and alone a cloud floats by the rugged shore of the shattered sky. A Giant looks from his home towards the blackness below his taterred brick tower wondering what has happened that would leave him in such a desperate land. No Fear in his heart just an inescapable loneliness forcing its way into every thought and memory He has. Melting windows and landscape from millions of miles away drip, down the ethereal skies and land on His garden crushing the only thing he cherished. Growing there were his flowers and plants medicinal in nature and cultivated for the good of mankind. Irreplaceable no way to regain what has been lost he sighs and leaves for eternal Slumber hoping to regain composure and perhaps love from his forgotten tribe. The last of the giants has left us.

Fluid Contours
Flowing forth from an unexplored spring comes the hope and unheard of ring of reason, of love, of rejoice; The creator of life hears my voice. The unbearable fear of absence resides in the forgotten realm of the unused mind. Relentless, forever searching, comes the crushing truth that feeds off our surroundings. Lengthy thinking sessions and laborious travels throughout the land, Thinking, pondering, lurking lurking lurking in the dark since time began hovering in the night behind the shadows the shadows of time. Calling out for aid in a world of emptiness no one hears, save one. The one, who hears our pleas, our requests. The one who can't stand loneliness. The helper. The one we've forgotten but hasn't forgotten us. Always in the peripheral, making sure we have what is needed to survive this lonely realm always lending a hand, or a shoulder. this is what he is. This is why we are. For the helper to help us. To need him him. To be helpless.

To be helped by the helper
Let it fall from the heavens and adorn your beautiful head. your exquisite selfless body Your kind gentle eyes let it annoint you with divine grace and the blessings of the holy trinity. May you live in peace for all your days not in a daze but gaze forth to your Father Let you drop your self-image and take His vision of you. All that you need has been granted there will be thorns but you have boots there may be vines but you are lithe and nimble NOTHING CAN Stop YOU except yourself Do not be the obstacle to your happiness be the guide you know where it is and the Path by Heart You must leave out what you most Hate. That is sadness there will be none more for You you have taken more than you need and more than you deserve Life is not a means to an end goal. It is there for enjoyment Do not fall into the pit because you do not understand but take the bridge it is just one step closer to me and eternal happiness.
