he of uncanny ability
to take apart the
bricks to see
a vision in a memory

I never knew he
thought it was me

so I got lost in
poetic time
of metered structure
and common rhyme

fluctuated between
then and there
now and when
and even here

but he continued
to take apart the
bricks
blew them over
as if they were sticks

but was never the
wolf at the door

in his way he
circumcised
the structured format
of our lives
and left it open, flat

now and then
I look upon
the things that were done
and now long gone
and wonder

that he of uncanny ability
could take apart the
bricks to see
a vision in a memory

I never knew he
thought it was me

You know, I felt so sad to read this. I hope that's how it was supposed to be, but even if it wasn't, you still evoked a really strong emotion in me.

Karilea, this is fabulous, it's such an insightful thing to write. Which is of course why you can and I can't, it's that I lack any insight at all. Hey ho! well I suppose it's the differences that make us who we are. So I'll be grateful, maybe not very gracious, but gratful at least. So you just hurry over here with that magic dust. Then I'll be really flying.
Oh and this is absolutely ace  
Take care

Elizabeth, always share what feelings are elicited when you read someone's work...that tells them if they have done it right...and I appreciate your comments, thank you!

Thank you, Sven...

Marsha, you mean the pixie hasn't landed yet with that special dust?  LOL...thank you!

Marcy, when you come in to read, the whole world is right!  Thank you!
