Digitally scaled
verbose some forgotten
joyously glorious while others
etched rotten.
Ecosystem's variety
of sorts all begotten.
Providing much, if not all,
for any of our human condition.
In appreciation of all you who write, but especially to those who apply it here.

Excitement weens
Lost on same means.
Capital letters advance
Derivative fiends.

Thought to know
Knew an understanding
Understood falsehood
Uncovered branding.

Sowed my prairie
Seriously when initiated
Before then merrily
Long lines tarried.

Uncovering happening
Uncovers everything.
Depths found futile
Resounds blaspheming.

Looked onto lies
Sought unto skies.
Regarded partially lost
Time's, " Robert Frost ".

Still now retain
My lost for gain
Each day innuendo
Earmarked by same.

Heroes to our legend
Formed fancily stowed
Mind's willful haven
Sourcing its unfold.

Useful is, the 'star-splitter' approach.
Useful for what? Many things.
Many- many things.
For its use is so grand in-scale
so large in-capacity
so rotund in-enormity...
it'll be easier to ask
"What can't its use for?"

But I'd never tell anybody that.
You're asking me like I've got an answer.
Let's not make a liar out of whomever--
whoever is put on the spot w/
question asked a lot like that?
Difficult to deflect...

Did you know that- by design -purpose
remains unresolving?
I don't know; I've heard it somewhere.
But its implying Life's purpose.
And it's not referring to God.
Ring on my left hand

And I have the audacity to wonder

Do I love you

My heart aches when we fight

And I laugh when you do something silly

But sometimes I'm so unsure

And it makes me angry

No, it makes me feel guilty

Because last time I loved
I was so sure

So completely sure

And here I am

Ring on hand

Climbing into our bed

And wondering...

Is this love?
My crazy seeps out

And you see it

Don't you?

I just hope it doesn't scare you off too much.

It was what it can't be. It was everything. It was in the middle of the sea. Stranded there was me.. Atop miles of ice. But life turned love white hot red. Ice cracked around me.. Gave way.. Ended years of time.. And I drowned in a dream I never want to forget.. But wish would go away..

And though the water may be warm.. It is colder than the ice that kept me ok. Through it into nothingness I fade into an abyss..

You are hated..

You are missed..
Children of my womb,
Born unto me,
Your every part and emotions are a part of me,
Precious and sensitive.
When you are hurt or wounded,
I bleed inside me,
The pain in your eyes I share with mine,
Praying you will have a better tomorrow.
By now you must have realized,
The reason for my yell,
Is I cannot bear you suffer,
The screams you hear now and then,
Are the anguish of my heart to see you safe and sound.
When you cry on lonely nights,
I respect your wish to be alone,
But, it is my tears I wipe on the pillow clutched tightly in my arms.
Your tears, emptiness and sorrows tear me apart,
I share your triumphs along with your dreams,
Your joy and laughter,
Which you can witness in my smile,
And a proud gleam on my face.
After all I am a mother.

I've drank the finest of wine
Down to the bottom of the bottle
Only to witness an ocean alone
Barely surviving my own hands

A fire burned through my viens
That was blew out by the wind
Breezing through the leaves
A calmness that sits with me
Before calmness dismisses me

I walked across the tallest blue sky
Where wide winged birds soar high
Til promises of white clouds turn grey
And so there I fell with the rain
Dripping through the lowest gutter

Many times I was buried, lying in dirt
Like a grave, needing no help
Finding the dark inside of myself
But I always rise with the blades
Of the greenest fresh spring grass

No matter what feeling I catch
None of them seem to everlast
