Who nowadays dares defy convenience While conveniently being arbitrarily?
I love names found in many storybooks Most often written for children- within Like Anastasia, they always seem mystical Almost daring your imagination to run wild Beseeching your heart to free the words Embark on a journey otherwise left unlived
There come occasions when I do write To compensate- for a life I don't have, now Not because I’m not entitled- few ever are Not because it isn't possible, when it is But because the laws of probable seem nil Not because I don't believe because I do And so too- would more variables need to snick
Like the pins found in a locks cylinder, aligned Then slipped, revealing treasure long hidden Behind a doorway only known to my mind Felt deep within my heart like its own beat That makes everything else complete- alive The way words make a fairy-tale, emotional Its most difficult to believe in those unknowns People, places, connections, time and trust
Oh, how magical faith can be when it works When it does become more than illusionary Beyond some prop upon a stage of tricks And how disquieting when it fails, to live When tangibility slips through my hands As if wisps, of smoke were mirrored light I couldn’t grasp despite- all desired efforts to
Thereby prove- laws of a heart can overcome Even the notorious adages of waiting alone Because someone is always key to live…love
I like to steal your breath as you stutter to whisper the word beautiful after reading.
I'm a poetic writer, an aberrational one of sorts. I don't write for the world seeking conformity to a style or some label of free expression, I permit my heart to whisper, while I serve as it stenographer and publisher. I'm honored my readers serve as its witnesses.
What you may infer from this site; my hearts process or what it has to say, is strictly up to you to decide for yourself. I do appreciate comments in whatever degree of appreciation or criticism others feel the need to leave behind. I hope to respond in kind to them with a thank you openly or in a private conversation.
