EDIT - Tap on the shoulder from something which asks "Come on, why do you cry about the picture? Why?"

I cry with happy gratitude.

My heart lies shattered and seeks to redeem

That freshly tilled garden of soulful dreams

Shards and slivers of it there in the soil

Flooded with tears, roots torn from earth to spoil

You came on strong, like a wild fiery wind

Hot and caressing words that scorched my skin

I gave freely with no expectations

Sating desire with sweet affirmations

Smoothing creases from your complexity

Emotions raw with pure perplexity

I thought it was I, I guess it was you

Insecurities blinded me from truth

Love unconditional, it’s just my way

Luminescent heat, here in my cache

I could wield words and wound as I have been

No, not with words, but with actions therein

To forgive, I know that it is divine

Therefore, I have, it’s there in my design

Just friends, is that how this story will be?

Don’t You know you’ve lost all, if you lose me?

Thank you dear heart!
I'm the one who is blessed to know you and you are one of my very favorite poets.

The Dreamer...

The moss green vessel spun around and round’

Pried open , digging through multiple layers, of intricate cognition

Recalling memories from this buried portal of time

The intensity of my senses I can hardly withstand

My patience is wearing thin

I feel you crawling under my skin

I have been generous, I’ve fed you morsels; in hopes it would spark a recognition

Speak ill of me, if you must; after all this wasn’t my plan

I would have preferred a calm and serene twist of fate

This unbreakable connection, was it something we wanted to create?

Isn’t it funny how you revisit conversations in your head

Wishing you could take it back or bring your hand up and erase

But as always it’s too late

Don’t get me wrong

Or think I’m an ungrateful soul

I have loved you , so very long.

Your absorbed into my system

I visit you in my dreams

I live within your life

I place my hand over my tired heart

I feel you…your ambition, loneliness, and strife

Nothing I can do

I’m in the process of healing..where are you?
