The statue he was,
is cold.

The room,
with it's drawings and reflections,
is still.


And his heart spins instead of the world.

I'm made stronger in holding her
Through her storms.

She's made, all the prettier
In keeping me warm.

It is the little things that
will unlock you.

Don't allow their passage without regard.

They are the small, fresh sights and words
that may stir you to tears
and smiles.

They are of the most ridiculous variety,
so savor them sweetly.

Draw, sing, and write of them.

They are a thousand reflections of collected acquaintance.

And,
in the gathering,

are introductions made.

What if I'd, heard tales of the Sun,
But had never seen it rise?

What if I, had hoped for you,
But never met your eyes?

What if skipping stones found life,
And took cerulean skies.

What if,
In waiting,
Heartbeat's taming,
I found the Moon's light wise.
dark lessons

I'm not ready to feel you.
I'm not ready to know.
So I'll make wordy rhythms,
That I shove into poems.
I'll think that I'm clever.
And hope that you'll smile.
I'll shrug with, "no muse here",
But write all the while.
Keith Ren Aug 2010
I'll call you out politely,
Our friendship can withstand.
The criticisms helpful,
Not complimented backhands.

We'll open up the eyes of,
Each other, and the world.
We'll walk the truthspeak, aiding,
Through tangled, loving curls.
Keith Ren Aug 2010
You forgot where you loved me,

I forgot where I died.

The grass grows now awkward.

In that space where we tried.
