It was the second time
we reconnected,
when the leaves
no longer held
the mirror
to the sky's reflection
and i treaded gently
through your demons,
knowing once
that i had bruised you
with my marked obsession
to shake your steadfast waters
and beg the waves explosion
just enough to rock your stoic shoreline
and let the passing winds come sweep you
through all my magic places,
where the timid ones like you
had feared to venture

and on the second time
we reconnected,
what my heart hid
would be paraded
in the symbiosos of all seasons,
where the falling leaves'
interpretations
are on the eyes of viewer,
as to whether they abandon
or are tossed like orphans
by their mother keeper

and amid confusion
and striking realization
on the second time
we reconnected

i came to face
the blatant truth,
of this thing
with me and you,
having just as much the validation
as opposing versions
of the falling leaves'
interpretations.

I wonder when the leaves held their power, did you not want to stay there? What went wrong in that autumn turmoil? To reconnect again, is not reconnecting here. Is it an on going failure? It seems in your conclusion that it is. I'm lost in your writing, but content in the read.

Ahhh . . . bad times these reconnections are usually, and yours seem no better than some I have tried. The thing is to reconnect you must first separate. Usually when you separate nasty words have been tossed about. Those nasty words are difficult to forget, or to forgive. What I have found is that those same nasty words wind up being fodder for the reconnection. Just usually doesn't work. Better to find another.

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

I offer no advice, only praise for the poetry that flowed smooth as silk.
