It takes me five seconds to write, “I don’t know”

It took me a lifetime to truly, understand it

It’s taken me even longer to be sure
of myself

Well that one actually I’m still,
kind of working on

I really enjoy it when your words
are blushing

It so becomes you
and then
becomes me

There just isn’t enough of that particular shade

At least not the way your emotion makes it

Your lips are like the covers of my memoirs
a daily diary of faith
and feelings

Always glistening and wanting for
more

They are the portal to artistry
and fascination

The key to open them is a gentle kiss
and then they slowly open
on their own

Some of my pieces are deeper than others I've written but that’s where it comes from
inside of this center

Sometimes I feel like a giant, walking on the
shore

A galaxy of comets underneath each step

Warping time with each and
every stride

Writing a story in a language
of footprint

A tale for the wind, to read and
erase

I keep looking back to only see
one side of the saga

It’s hard to understand
enchantment
when every other word, is missing

Being a part, can be very special

A part of something, or
somebody

You are that piece that nurses on breath

Bringing the best out of someone
who’s not

You are that element that makes my eyes stare
off to the distance, where both of us, still share

Being a part, of something
whole

Is more than one should ever,
ask for

Spectacular write, dear Richy. Indeed, separation is an illusion. You rendered this awareness masterfully.

I loved every piece, every word that form the whole of this poem. And the picture speaks for itself beautifully.

Going to read it again!

Yep. Being a part. Even loners like me longs to finds himself being part of a part. Sometimes, however being part of a part doesn't always work out too good.
