Compatibility must equal completability

Shortcuts are merely filled in puffery

Hollow words, meaningless emotions

Materialism can be vastly blinding

As well as lustful short shortsightedness

I’ve endured- most mysteriously

Two marriages achieving dissolution

I used to describe them as “failed”

However over time that changed

Reflection can be most illuminating

Now- I refer to them more honestly

They simply reached due “incompleteness”

I also deflected any responsibility myself

My ego felt hurt enough, giving the scars as it was

As if I could arbitrarily assess true guilt

But- it too has learned to swallow it’s bitter truth

And today, I know I shared their ineptness

Which makes them worthy of the venture

Albeit a cruel way love does some lessons

I think now, I understand what I’m seeking

And what’s never bound for…my completeness

Ascribe Where flight became stalled Because fear stood its ground There- is where I- was reborn Where I relearned my reality As broken fragments of a self Where I’ve seen the unveilings Of time, truth, and Holy love Where angels cried and wept For my salvation and healing And I- wept along with them Where fire seared my mission Forged into my soul as passion A combatant for the wounded Of humanities silenced…truths Poet of the Light © 2023 I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

  3. Ah, the last four lines have caused a grin inside me. I do love this transformation, realisation, the honest beginnings of hope and understanding.
