pat
we can't choose our life,
but we can change it.

Lei Hopwood
Once I was an empty tree
and here I swung
On the lowest branches of me
life not yet begun

and here I see you
and you see me
passed me you flew
reaching out
we always missed
reaching out
into the abyss
into the sea
passed you I flew

The deepest depths of me
and down you slung
the branch I could not see

as I am drowning
you are frowning

and then I feel
your last appeal

Your wrist clasp to mine
and mine to yours
and together we soared
forever divine

I  write because I want to shout

And yet I cannot speak

I want to tell some things in me

But I feel I am weak



I write because I want to open

To make all things so clear

I do not know if one will find

The same sounds that I hear



I write because I want to share

The gift that now I keep

To some it maybe ordinary

But  to others it  could be steep



I want to write, I want to shout

I want to open and share

I want to reveal, I want to help

To show that I love and care…
Just a writing exercise...

Poetic T
My life is a projection of
Movement
&
Life,
Some times blurry
In front of my eyes,
Lenses project the picture
HD tuned now just right,
I see the sounds
I hear the sights
I breath in life,
My motion tracked
Life is a motion picture,
Projected on to the screen
Of my life,
Am I who I am
Is this really my existence
Am I just
Atoms
Light
A rerun of another's life,
A mirage,
A trick,
If I move quicker out
Of focus of my life,
On to a blank screen,
This is me starting anew,
Not a projection of
What others project,
I will create the world around me
Project what I really
Feel,
Touch,
Taste,
I am ever changing images,
Not one that used to feel stagnant, out of place.

sometimes enough is enough
sometimes logic is messed up
sometimes you just have to say
**** it and go your own way

Only the
past is set
in stone,
my friend.

You don't have
to continue
being the
person you
were
yesterday.

I am guilty of all you've been told
I admit to being cold,
Mean, inconsiderate and selfish
Not minding this beauty without blemish

Have I used you? yes, guilty
And I will do it again as need be
Forgive me for the wrong I have committed
Though a wrong carefully coined and crafted

I have used you in so many ways
May be those even wrong,
Dear poetry, you must endure the pain
Because whenever I get the chance, I will use you again.

Every word he utters
Sounds like a mighty roar
And his hands can stir storms
And great gusts of wind.
His eyes are weapons
Piercing through my heart
Scarring me,
Leaving me to be
Never the same ever again.

But behind that fierce facade
And thick skin toughened by time
Is a heart
Gently glowing with the embers of
Hope,
Faith,
And love.
It burns on not only with passion,
But with compassion.
It is a light and a lamp,
A firework and a forest fire.

He has might and bravery,
boldness and tenacity, but
In his power
He has purpose,
And in his leadership he extended
Love.
Look up and
See him soar high in the sky,
For he has written his name
In the book of the legendary.

The only thing about me that's perfect.....are my imperfections!
