you want what I cannot create.

you want what you want,
you utter incantations,
to harness my magic
to no avail.

long time lesson learned,
so obvious,
so human,
for trying to change
what is
given us,
our source material, life defined,
limiting us to what is visible.

creating is a coexistence warring,
but it is a closed loop,
no external input receivables acquirable,
other than thru the filters of mine own
misperceiving imperfections

you demand, insist, that I
create as in the past but

I cannot.

my needs complected, complex,
created incomplete,
you want the simplicity of raw,
scratch me for pain, surge waves
of love from tempest hurricanes

you crave the sad and the sadder badder,
I crave the exhilaration of watching a
new day's light earth birthed,
the small ironies appeal,
tiny is better than
the major battles, remembrance
of  past morning glories

you want what I cannot create.

strange.

I want what I create.

Misperceiving all the earlier ruins from sentiment,
Started by discrediting feelings that mold agony.

Past excruciation of inflicted gashes led to trauma,
Triggering continuous regret on a timeline for years.

Present day disapproval is caused by painful history,
Also through existing paths which are unwelcomed.

What must be entailed is change in current presence,
Not by mending previous events that inflamed harm.

Former memories from scars rectified through coping,
A process that occurs after the era of now is repaired.

Rebuild a life based on bliss immediately with help,
Beginning new perception that heals every sad moment.
