This thing of beauty, This sweet-scented orange rose, Tenderly I kiss. ~ Poetictouch

This Thing Of Beauty
If silence was a language— I’d speak it for you. Words can’t replace the feeling, inside this beautiful turmoil— the uncertainty of the storm, as I sit centered and calm, patient with silence, keeping faith— a caged bird, refusing to leave; a stray dog, waiting at the crossing. I’ve started falling into your embrace, the only harbor I wish for to see the end of days.

Catch me, I'm falling
People sometimes say that ‘two minds are better than one’ and this is especially true when they are having some fun. They take pleasure in the joy that to each other bring and if the heart is involved it’s a highly valued thing. __________________________

Quatrain 439 - People sometimes say.....
I try swimming in the deep end Y Am I kidding When I can barely crawl? Aim high to feel low Shoot for the stars; I'm somewhat moronic hypochondriac psychotic asthmatic Can you tell by the scars I've drawn on And my masochistic vehicle? Got a list of what I'm tryna do Tryna reach my goals; An exaggeration of my fragmented mind onethingtwothingthreebacktoonethingbecauseIcantforgetonething My perilous thoughts. No concentration makes for just conversation In that I lose myself

When The Seasons Change;
You had obsession with cats You found cats cute You remembered three cats from your childhood They started visiting me in my dreams A big cat visited me in my dreams when I started falling for you And ten cats visited me yesterday when I started falling out of love with you Yo mucho en amo contigo

I am having an affair with life cheating on my married state which was committed to ticking the boxes of social norms and not a partner per say

Cheating is Good - this way!
A thing is a thing, isn’t a thing What makes a thing, a thing? Is a thing, a thing because We call it A thing? What then of things that Haven’t found a name? Does discovery make A thing? Then who made us A thing Can a thing Make a thing a thing? Light is a thing I see it Fragrance is a thing I smell it Music is a thing I hear it Dark is a thing No thing Is not having a thing make A thing? is a no thing, a thing? Is Love A thing?

A Thing
early morn (5:00am) scanning, scrolling, unrehearsed searching and the question appears in a “loves that got away” column, *(why do all these descriptors start eith S, I think I know!)* and off on another self-effacing, investigative determination, a mental biopsy of another hopeless cause, that results in poems too long though the body and mind are rested, with six hours of uninterrupted sleep, and volumes of dreams, the quest bags a burr in the bed, (yes, rhymes with head) but n o t h i n g pops in with a grin, and a bell ring, stating presumptuously, why that’s me and the fault failure fear in me engorges this  really distresses, with & in a deep sense of awful, how can I not recall this momentous illustrative precious precision proof of why life is worth living, and worser still, don’t I get to choose, isn't this an interrogatory, suitable for a pre-provided Multiple Choice Answer? a pause to collect myself from a falling into a hole of nefarious negativity spiraling, *suddenly recalling so many kind and gentle touching brushes of your comments re my poetry, which provoked warm tears* ^***and one more tine, poetry has saved a life***^ 5:37am Saturday 2-15-25

What’s the kindest thing anyone has ever said to you?
“I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me He's a man, he's just a man And I've had so many men before In very many ways He's just one more“ <•> ladies you know ~ I know these lyrics and the deep cut and the familiar rut, they unsecret in our inner chambers and there is no bandage to rip off, which/why the cut never heals despite your careful care to never actively seek out the irritant but it finds you in a rom-com a particular intersection a advertisement for half zip sweaters when saying no to a particular restaurant automatically and the emotional shake, not a smoothie, part horseradish sweet sad, part bitter herbs, tasteless bread, spiced with a blend of angry, self-loathing, regret, and rage that your emotions abduct your composure, and that it still happens way too often a pale of regret, that it was a lost chance, the kind that come more infrequent, and you mourn the building up inside, an intolerance for risk taking which once was your most favorite single characteristic you liked, about yourself

Part II: Don’t know how to love him (he’s just a man)
Every good thing, Lord, comes Every good thing comes from you Every day is showered in blessings Every morning your graces are new Every night you watch over us Lord, keep us safe from harm Every thing I have is from you Every thing I am is who you are Every beat of my heart beats for you Without your love I fall apart So when life is only clouds and rain And all I can feel is sorrow and pain Give me the eyes to see your rainbow Give me hope and help me to grow For, in the ultimate act of derision Came a far more perfect vision You took the cross designed for shame And made a bridge out of the same In death you destroyed sin and death And in the span of the very next breath You restored us to life and made all things new For, every good thing Lord, comes from you

Every Good Thing
Look out, across time, go windborn in our mind being, look out, into the depths of ever being, rethink the processes time used, reimagine the silence at the moment. All for us to have our own being in, confined in common sense of the we the one we of us since ever was a time, before now, and later, still, this same concurrency of events… our crossing point in time. Instants of peaceable knowing, growing into states of conscious knowing use.

Touch Me, My poetry, I'm me.
~ one more for patty m. ~ slept late after dancing with my devils, from, from the wee, until a pealing pearl from the Earl of Dawn, recovering from an intrusion~invasion~brain~regurgitation, and it’s nearly 9am, sipping my first cuppa Hawaiian, & woke to a repost of a ten year old wondering plea(1) makes me think “This old thing,” poem, like a fav frock/suit that still drapes perfectly, and yet draws the ***** admiration and drippy drawling yummy compliments, gracefully, gratefully demurred with them three words, & it’s 8:39am, Bruce pitching in with “Born in the USA” recipe for a new thank u Gawd poem to make room for a fast~break diet for an old man with a rebuilt ticker, this very emission~transmission of a verbal politesse writ going some where, cooked on a medium slow burner fueling dressed up seeds of heartfelt appreciation made of ancient oat grasses birthing a poem~child of thanks to the Lawd for one more day, opportunity, the five sense’s delivery gratitude and gratifications, and the desire to intertwine the sights, music, a crisp blue November Sky, the need to bleed brew these words into a fulfilling, second moment mug, for the pearls and Earls of poetic humans 10:01am Thu Nov 2 2023

“This old thing?” (of gratitude and gratifications)
You love me, But I don't love you, I love him, But he doesn't love me. What goes around, comes back around. I guess I deserve that, I stabbed you in your back, And look he has done the same, All I have is shame. What goes around, comes back around. You gave me everything, I gave you something, He gave me nothing, And I gave him everything.

what goes around...
I guess I am in my bag, I hate to be a drag, I do not want to nag, I just need a rag.

When we met I thought I felt something When we kissed I swore I felt a zing But I was wrong about everything Because you left me like I was nothing

I was wrong
i trust no more, my body is torn, and my heart on the floor. betrayal has a bitter taste, my time was a waste, and you left without a trace. fool i am, my love was not worth a **** and your care was not even a milligram.
