I featured this poem
No More Conjecture
I have tried to reach out to you
and find you are not able
You seem trapped within your own head
It turns your heart to stone
Are you locked in there?
I feel like I need to carve
and chip away
to find your form
If every spiral I carve away
was the foray
that travelled within
If every thought you tracked as a witness
Less of your reactions would be just a whim
YOUR CRITIC SHRIEKS!
IT SQUEALS AND SQUEAKS
The chatter.
clatters and drills
Now drilling is fine
If you want to carve and mine
and find a pathway within
Spiral In
Spiral Out
TOUCH THE WORLD
I LOVE YOU
This is true
You ask how I know?
Well if the definition of love is
"Accepting love of other
AS OTHER"
Then I am content to let you
BE
What I have learned is to live in the NOW
To accept where we are at this minute
I don’t accept the task to
Rescue
or to
Teach
And as we come to a place that is finite
I have moved to a space
Been there many a year
Where I have looked at my patterns
and follies
I can tell what is real
What contrives just to steal
I can face my fears
But know when to retreat to complication
I wish you well
Although I sense you’re in hell
And I wonder can you get yourself out of it?
It takes quite some time
and energy and love
to be able to drop all of this
So what to do?
You go on your way
Pay the price you must pay
For a confused and restricted imagining
but
if you break free
come back I might be
still open for love and companioning
If not
who knows
a relationship might grow
that is different in nature and texture
Why think past today
No
I will just say Au Revour
Let’s not dwell
in conjecture
Why don't you find a photo write a poem and post it here? I am happy to give or receive feedback.
