 It's really astonishing
 How many times  
 Images reflecting on the water  
 Break up long before  
 They ever become real enough
 To be born into our lives
 And like a boat, giving chase 
 We can get tossed about  
 Losing all our sense of direction  
 While simply trying to survive
 And softly land right
 On the shore of a real heart  
 One that understands  
 What love is all about  
 And we can abandon the task
 Of sailing, off to be found
 Getting lost between glimmers  
 Or simply be lead astray and drown  
 In the middle of those false illusion
 That coax our hearts wrong 
 With eon old reverberating lost songs
 Amongst the longing waves
 That rise and shift shapes  
 As for me, I just need to be
 Standing still on solid ground
 And amazed by looking  
 Love straight in the eyes
 And with a big smile  
 See it staring back… at me

If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between the metaphoric lines. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unwritable things never whispered of. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed. But, otherwise, I’m a deep visualizing poet creating particular facets, not only line by line but even the shades and innuendo between them; to the point that, I can get so comfortably caught up in my imaginations first imperfect draft that I sometimes just move in to stay there… rhetorical, spelling, grammar, mechanics be damn, nothing in life is that perfect. I don’t need tailor-made, I need someone/something to fit well enough that it becomes fashionable for me to wear well. I don’t need to pretend to know everything and I resist pontificating those things I’m well versed in. I'm just a simple romantic at heart waiting on a perfect storm to completely sweep over me like gentle fresh dawn. In the meantime, 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.
