Long without encouragement from good people
How I wish you put up the shutters
Regularly processing, updating
Nothing more to loose
Whatever you want
Oh juvenile of mind
Oz is close by
With voice of steel

But you choose to be ashamed
painting my face by numbers
afraid to look back
at gather rainbows we
grew in the back yard

depression, essays your face
bleeding demons
flowers of poison
oil your soul
like a casual affair

cursing your inner world
along with any perception
of birth
raindrops running
like melted wax
was your best theory
hard times for a good dog...
bewildered at the raging storms

dynamic voices dance in your head
with hope & healing
sharing tears, in your safe place
away from the rest of the world

what is it that makes you feel so deserving
of violent weather?

support swings like a silent prayer
which you hold onto
forming an ocean of sorrow
strange horizons give you
the deserter
that black tie at war
with a physical world
monochrome wild grasses provoke
curiosity for a life without mourning
mounting in pools around your soul

you only remember the woman with a frown
she to possessed freckles of her mother’s decorum
who consumed your moon and everyone else’s
not looking for smooth stones
that you believe don’t exist
you never observed them at close hand
her greasy apron snapping
at every crumb they tried to feed her

don't you see her dimise
won't you see his saddness
his complete loss for life

it is the effort of
standing on your feet
fear not, my bewilderment
you are still the fledgling
destined to take wing

be that ocean again
unpack you suitcase
and im-merciful untruths
it wasn’t about you
it isn't you
it isn’t now, the sobriety of
the occasion befriends a flimsy tower
standing where I can’t…

but it is your choice
one that I dare not make

a person cannot give
what they’ve never known
don’t compromise your grip
for a heart that can never love

you, straight and true
don’t forget the waves but
be in the smoothness
of dignity and grace
of course your not perfect?

sense nature’s arbitrary decree
find the odd droplet forewarning
of your father’s deluge
which promenaded like a chilling breeze

he wanted to be his own ceo
forces cursed his wisdom

security guards whooping victory
drug him around the word of love narcissistic
he simply crouched down and stared at the ocean

don’t repeat history
don’t loose your dreams
something so unspoken passes between our hands
drifting down your fingers
to a child's eyes, open and well aware

the oak branches of broken chains
must remind…must remind
a private you
like words hidden away in spiritual
journeys...
will you see them someday
will you know how much I loved you
when I am gone and part of the earth
will you know me, then?
Will you believe
it never was as she said?
or do you already know?
what is real and
what isn't

"what is it that makes you feel so deserving

oh my, Lee
the whole write...this line
grabs me in the solar plexus

life's blood flows deeply
in the veins of each line

and I sit back  
quietly touching the screen
whispering

I know you
to the soul of this write
*came back to fix a small typo
and to read this again

Lee~
There is soooo much layering of emotion in this piece ... a purging of thoughts that could consume one if they weren't purged~

'a person cannot give
what they’ve never known'


And the summation is ... yes, that is oh, too true~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Wow! This blew me away! It's deep, sensitive, awakening, accusing, encompassing so many emotions and feelings.

Thank you for sharing this beauty.
