"unpuzzle" poems
This is the ice breaker.
I am always new to a conversation,
years gone by as days slow down.
You may relate to it like a fish out of water.
Breathing under earths clear-blue surface
its hesitation of a world spinning as words are spoken.
In need of a breath of fresh air,
comparing it as a gasp of an after thought.
A finger to the mouth, a cat caught the tounge.
Separation can be too much too scorn.
This irrelevance in term we call chemistry.
The deep secrets we hunt,
for an open country we live without.
Should we walk the talk?
We swim a mile in short term.
The distance a man can take to dive
gives this enough to cancel past premonitions.
An eye length away
we go where the bible parts the seas...
This long trail for a short cut we gut from the book of trust.
We take the scenic route
like riding a bike till it ends with a flat,
making us take a bus,
till it cost too much.
An arm and a leg we kick to swim.
One or the other as we struggle,
we use a foam vest astride by a whim.
This maze with secret illusions,
a movie The Laberenth comes to mind.
Make belive...made up dreams.
Morals of fairy tales.
Stroies told.
Or this fable to tuck you into.
Where there is no grandmother to look forward too.
Who says I love you?
A goodnight that can't live within you.
Nothing but a monster that we hide from under our sheets.
We stress to the progress of nothing but a scary cry of, what if's?
For a wolf like me faking it's false teeth
turns out to be a deciving catastrophy.
Made up and unforgiving.
Living my escape.
It's the farthest away from my problems.
The least of my worries.
If you must try to unpuzzle my riddle.
It comes naturally.
You have it or you don't.
It's easy if you know me...

Hurt
And unwilling
to fall again
We'll keep touching
each other's hearts
Carefully
Not to cause more cracks
Or to expose our own wounds
Because diving freely
In another
Could mean the risk
Of drowning
And isn't it better to be alone?
Than to be together only to feel alone
So I'll gift you a full smile
Shed some light on your aching heart
Water your gardens
Until you bask in the bloom of shining light
Friend
I'll be another traveller
On your journey, and join you
When you're scared
To take the plunge
To discover broken pieces
Of your soul
I'll help you unpuzzle
If I am able to keep up
Myself
I'll treat you with my whole heart
but only half a hello.

*My mind drips words onto the page,
While my heart tries to break free from its cage.*
