# If I can so easily see (and so deeply love) both sides of your multifaced self, don't you think you also can start at least try seeing  and loving yourself as equally beautiful (simultaneously, so) parts, who's congruent sum so beautifully make within you,   the whole? Look at you shoot and scoot (run back and hide) after never even (until now) having a taste of being seen (and yes, Babe.. loved) for who it is that you truly are ( a beautifully.. goobery, complex sum of the whole).. growing,  as you little by little embrace the truth, and in doing so, have the broken-into-shards , tainted perspective within your trauma-stricken mind become slowly rebuilt  and renewed       into an accurate picture of the true you.. Even if that picture is conveyed back to you   as I hold the mirror's reflection up to you (a reflection that your beautifully.. at times, open heart paints upon  innerwall linings of my heart-infused soul)   and then you admittedly (your beautiful honesty, again) jet back into your world of daily distractions..     So I say to you, beautiful girl.. It is you that chose to reveal to me your true self in a way that I could so easily grasp  within all of who I am as I struggled to keep myself from truly falling in love with your gorgeously-blatant honesty..   so I ask you once again-- Why would you so beautifully choose to  paint your true self upon the inside of a man that you knew and believed could actually  convey the utter and beautiful reality of that incredible picture back to you:    but do it in such an unholy, sneaky way    as to be able to bypass any and all of your intricate,    security (survival) based defense system    in a way that the true view of you could (and can)    actually get through? You fear the congealed congruency  of the truth of your own consolidated glory,    as if you are forced to live within the resignation    that the  true  parts within you    cannot co-exist  equally and simultaneously    within you at the same time,    without the (feared) unbearable tension    and anxiety within you     causing your own spontaneous annihilation. But still, young Beautiful... You  showed  me  you,  anyways. You did not do it because you hate you, that we can both agree on.. But the manufactured (created) you has a whole world of relation (its own form of 'connection')    *built around  the you  that feels safe inside    if the presented image to that world                remains loved and cherished* But also, good as people that they are..  they find you..    (you,  who so well emanates a self that congeals                                 with their emanated self). ..So when you enter into a room   that you can truly breathe (as your true self)  in-- As you prepare to exit its beautiful doors, you almost have to (temporarily) sever all there is of you that you have so beautifully and tangibly painted (imprinted) upon the insides of all of who it is that I am. You are beautiful within your entirety. I am not intimated by it,  nor am I threatened by the possibility of its beautifully shining glory being 'stolen away' by another. The gift of it all to me is that you have chosen to reveal your true self to me    even though you very well  knew    what it was going to cost you--    (the stronghold within your manufactured self) And so now,  here you are--    shaking and trembling   within the    unprotected tenderness of your own,  newfound Glory. You feel it here within these four walls like you have felt it in no other place on earth, ..So why would you want to betray yourself by running and hiding back into your detachment? It is horrifying to be seen and loved like this, I agree..    But think of this... What if what is seen and felt (Loved) within the four walls of this private room we are in together here, is the true taste  and pieces of True reality, and most all outside of this, only continual extensions of 'the game'. What if this right here is how life (love) was truly meant to be experienced  and lived, and most all other things out there.. just a well-built and contrived (machine) of distraction. Let your own heart be your guide.   You can sit and play my guitars while you unfold so beautifully (as you so well do) right in front of me. In turn.. and through day after day of me being there for you like that, your beautiful war-torn mind will slowly (and then, quickly) become renewed. It will all be about (and for) you.. and when you have had your fill, you can punch me in the nose for my having a hand  in plunging you into "the horror" of it all,    But you truly also for the rest of your life,    will never be the same. You are fascinating to me in all of your brilliant-minded, gorgeousness. You are absolutely beautiful, kid. This is what is truly real.  This. #

# *Turning her head as if to  bury  it all back under the covers.. This hiding away from me from everything  about me that could hold her right where she is at-- This crazy holding That cannot stop itself That cannot keep  from doing what it does That cannot control itself from what  it feels every  time  she  shows  me (who it is that she is) She is anything but a death  to me whenever she sings, whenever  she..* #

quiet..
What is inside? Something I do not know Building in my veins Will it help me grow? I come across a wall And moving to the side I see another obstacle That I can’t reveal or hide I turn to my left, Then right and around I see my mirrored self She doesn’t make a sound Too long she’s been standing Waiting to take control And find that ***** girl That some ******* stole She is fierce and fantastic Wanting to explore Taking any sensation To become a slutty ***** That ******* didn’t ****** you I heard myself say You’re a **** hungry woman But are you ready to play? I thought I was prepared For ******* and the feast Though I’m scared to show the world The carefully hidden beast Pressured stirring mounts Like an ******** ***** fever It is time for slutabration And unhinge to receive her

That ***** girl
#--And, After picking her beautiful jaw  up, off the ground over the shock-blast of  realizing that  she (after all of these years)    had been  finally seen.. there was a shuffling  noise that I could hear in the background over the phone.. and I couldn't tell  if it  was her-- scrambling to finish  filling out the restraining order she started last week or maybe   just  flopping around  in the dark in her search for the block button But perhaps..  just perhaps she is running upstairs  to find  for herself,   a dry pair of ******* Or better yet,  in order to race into her room,  her clothes-- strewn,  in a wake behind her in her overwhelming  need to knock out  a whole series  of wildly uncontrollable, release (s) Strange how it is that  far too often  these things can go either way-- yet either way, sweet love your beautiful jaw will never again,  be the same Xo #

just a little something I noticed, in passing..
I can always tell when my life is beginning to fall apart by the mere glimpse of my ****** torn and gnawed to the bone fingertips. A reflection of my internal chaos, now exposed. Revealing my lack of will power to resist the urge when life’s mundane patterns and stress-induced anxiety take over. There’s something to be said when your toenails become longer than your fingernails. I’d say it says that it's time for a manicure of the soul. **** a pedi wouldn’t hurt either.

Soul Manicure
It is really so revealing Only takes five weeks You already need somebody else Moving between another's sheets Looking at the terrible facts Betrayal was truly unexpected So many times you have hurt me Yet I thought our love was more respected Let's hope distance strengthens us Afraid to lose your heart If you give it to someone new Mine is going to crumble apart

Revealing
Writing poetry is an exercise in making myself rise from ordinary preoccupation to enter the realm of creation. When I share it I am revealing thoughts, doings, and feeling, so I need not hesitate to share or bore those who care. A poem might not be art but it is a letter from my heart more than a quick posting or social media boasting. So if you do not receive a sealed letter from me in the mail, a poem is better. It is a moment of being bold of sharing a small slice of my soul. Getting a poem from a poet or friend is an honor for me and I will attend and count it a privilege worth prizing a noble moment of the creator’s rising.

Noble Moment
My problem is I fear. I hold on. I never know when to give up. I blindly wave my hands in front of me in hopes that I'll find a hidden door to paradise, Althewhile I fully expect to never find something that will allow me to stop wandering. If that wasn't enough, I drag the locked doors that I find along the way behind me in hopes that, one day, they'll magically open.

You are like the sea, Truth be told there is no other way to put it. The sound of silence covered in repeated sigh. A total embodiment of things placed of collective wonderment. What shall triumph the noise of wave overlapping wave. Of all things calm you spread your presence, Drowning in the bliss of serenity. You and only you could create the quiet hush dreams are made of. Although Some tides are bigger than most,  Of all times, not all are escapable. Splashing against the shore in a bipolar like disorder. Crushing everything it touches, selfish in nature. For every action there is a natural reaction that displaces the initial action. A need for finding peace in the eye of discord. This is where your heart becomes a walking representation of the sea itself. And I the jagged coast, cleansed of any disbelief that things won't get any better outside of the moment. Pieces of myself lost in you. A constant movement no longer stagnant in thought.  This is where I consider you the sea, the depth of your eyes covering everything it touches. And I the boat lost in mid drift, without a care in the world. A means of transportation exploring a depth of things I never knew to exist. The things you keep hidden. Far from the hindsight of eyes, your habits, things you reveal to be true given enough time. The constant change that happens every moment of every minute. Still it doesn't take away from it's beauty, the things kept hidden. You are like the sea,  A profound way of expression. And I, the sailor.  Watching the truth reveal, bit by bit.

Revealing form within, words so true. Undressed with nakedness, words of the inside. Uncovered and pure, words of love, Penetrating the blood, words of the soul. Voicing in agony, words of pain. Screaming in darkness, words of loneliness. Cravings of the heart, words making you mine, Creamed with kisses, words of embrace. Words untold and words that die, Words revealed and killed with disgrace. Words unmatched for the power of the within, Words you never hear, for what was never returned- is You. -Silence

Hidden Words
There's a story on my lips-- Unwarranted, can't let it slip. On my pen I'll cling, I'll grip; Bleed my heart through fingertips. Ink stained page, a wounded soul; Fine point to slay my self control. Carnage I could never show To those I have come to know. This is a side meant only for Fellow soldiers out at war. Faceless under armor worn-- But words we jab revealing more.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
Listen- How am I supposed to word the things that have already been elucidated by my eyes and that have already been yelled by the pounding of my heart? Uttering these feelings as words proves nothing more than me being superfluous. I refuse to be redundant.

Love as words
You allow me to believe that the impossible is possible making the craziness inside of my head plausible, You allow me to control these abysmal thoughts running through my head making the endless doubts within me run ahead, You allow me to escape from the terrors of this world making me sleep peacefully in bed all comfortable and curled You allow me to enjoy all the happiness I never got to feel making all the sadness on my surface begin to peel, You are my perfect dreams.

Dreams
I never wanted simple, I never quite 'got' it, Complication was my easy way, As I could hide behind every crack, With you this was different, There was no hiding, You pushed all my buttons, I revelead the real me, Still this is not simple, But easier than the hiding was, And for this I thank you for saving me.

Poetry Is My Counsellor
Bane of gasping gentle breath, Wide eyed searching for car crashed trees, Crying over mountain peaking, Peaking out over life times of achieve, Timid rabbit darting emoticons, That aren't disguised as suits, Emailing faults of profiled skin, Obsoleted by obsessivenessly, Picking at unreachable kills, Wasting away from sunny sleep, While in the background, The TV play that one movie, Where everyone dies, On repeat.
