One can't linger on what's no longer
Lessening the lingering on longing  for the littlest
Left the least

..Functioning
..amicably
..meandering
..ironically
..learning
..yearly ...

A Family Tale

Every jingle
brings a jungle
Of whisperings
Looping lyrics
Stringing  sounds
Encased in trembles
Streaming glowing
memories , murmuring
Signature songs
Pounding pomegranates of lustful fusion
Sealed in sweet cranberry of crispy
Covered words...

Poetry

Does a writer need more inspiration
But ' the mere privilege
Of experiencing  time
...
To read each ones story
Turning into a playwright
Or a screen guilders award

So many times , I have begun my story
Never progressing , as each new story unfolds in every old story that exists

Similar to the script that opens whenever A choice of chocolate beckons
Top deck , being the winner , partially in relation to a great friendship , partially for the instincts it always performs In me. It's relativity to the expressions of our stories - the  layers of changing.

Once upon a time....

Enormous amounts of strength potion a way into your soul
Keeping you strong
Through emotional crashing
Towards endless invitations to gratitude.....

Sitting across from the cold building about to 'constitute' my tomorrow
I reach for my ink
So To remember the words I scribe
In my vulnerable moments

Born in the RS of A
On a virtual July day
Lastest of 5
Sent to the human pound age 3
Secured  a shelf with a window
Glazed outwardly, felt like eternal
Began school in a painted corner
Sealed in with stars
I gradually grew
No sync., no link
To sibling warriors
Alone in 'me own home'
Through dance .. Mimicked purpose
Through fairytales...
conquered romance
Through romance .. Scored pain
Through words ... Felt rain
Hit middle years
Tapped into random courage
Left the partner scrummage
Process delayed
When a car crash, thee swayed
An old spirit I met
Who with rehab ,my soul kept
The scene rolled
My divorce license was polled
Pages turned
Characters learned
Scripts were scrolled
And onwards burnt ...

( my humble beginnings at RAP)
What do you think
To be continued .....
