dissect me into pieces
mathematical
manic
make me
make sense
solve the pieces
like a puzzle
break me
then make me
intact
but I'm not built
of numbers and facts
when you filed my edges
you created gaps

Standing
with nothing - there is still
so much more
to give

Alone
sits easy,
with toes dipped, in
four leaved
clover.

We
absolve
ourselves with the
tenacious honesty
of tomorrows'
sunrise

Brazen,
underneath starlit skies."Observe;
We too, have died before."

Bodies
alight, with heavenly fires;
Intense, passions
igniting
pure reactions.

Join
and part
each atom of self
to allow
flow.

As
saline spills,
filling emptiness
with oceans,
across
arid plains.

One
single flower
blooming, silently, in decoration
     of soulful beauty        
  
Whisper,
  our riddling
faintly defined
shadows
stuck
   to    
                                            missing       pieces.                                            

                          Together                     ­     
                               in needs ...                          
                                                            [of yours, or, mine]     
  **We... are here
... & I do believe x10, beats the current record, lol :)

Standing, Alone, We, Brazen, Bodies, Join, As, One, Whisper, Together (if read, as one poem)
What we want and need
We differently perceive

I want you, but you don't need me
Hardly even want, cold reality
But giving up is not my mentality

Finishing what I started, quit not in my vocabulary
Persistence and commitment it's what I do
For the things that I do are not for you
For you it's a show and for me it's a game
To play it well for me, just to get you? What a shame.

What we need we cast aside for menial possessions
When wanting possesses us we lose our directions
Too stubborn to stop and ask on the road
I wish I could welcome you to my humble abode
Raincoat wrapped children
follow double denim dad;
sleeves down for the count,
jeans rolled up to show charity shop, discount socks.

The smallest, a girl, dances
in front of double denim dad creating
a wake of raincoat twirls, sewed in mittens
come loose and join her in her orbit. Her heels
spin and twist and bend and coil, skating
across the pavement rink throwing up shards of soil
that coat her wet red raincoat.

The brother walks behind, slightly,
grasping on to double denim dad’s hand.
He is blind, using hand as stick
and sound as sight. He hears
the rain and smells the rain and feels
the rain, but never can he see
its beauty, its ripples in ephemeral
puddles, its cause of numerous traffic troubles,
its heavenly sight after many hours of sunlight.

The trio walk on down the street,
perpetual in length to the boy,
a 90 minute performance to the girl,
the way home to house for the dad.

Fading pigment in my skin &
dark shadows under my eyes.
We still sleep with our legs in.ter.twine.d
Do you know where he's been?
Can you see through his lies?

Every time you
Feel lonely or sad
Or you feel like
Your life doesn't
Make sense and
When it feels like
Things are the
Darkest is when
You must search
For the light and
The love just waiting
Beneath the surface
Its always there if
You know where
To look inside of
Your heart and
Soul and when
You find that
Light that leads
You through the
Storm and through
The trials of life you
Will feel that much
Stronger and whole
Through the lessons
Of life that might
Come your way
If you have faith
You can move
Mountains and
Change the course
Of rivers with your
New found strength
And faith and light
That is flowing in
Your soul as you
Begin to show
And share your
Inner light and
Strength to others
To be the beacon
Of light and faith
To show others the
Way when they feel
Lonely or like life
Isn't fair you can show
Them through your
Own light and experience
There is always a brighter
Way through the storm
And showing and sharing
Your gift of light and healing
To all who are willing to see
