Through a lens
with one eye shut
I look too deeply into you...
logging inconsistancies
interest proves complicity
threads in weave, intricately--
perhaps I'm searching you for me.

We share the pain.
We trade the blame.

We both agree that I'm not there.

Serenity~ Those are some difficult thoughts to ponder...expressed with the ease and beauty typical of you though    

"perhaps I'm searching you for me"

...that's a little nugget for me to think about!

Hugs,
~Krista  

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

Well written and these were rock-hard lines:
We share the pain.
We trade the blame.

We both agree that I'm not there.

Many could identify and wonder if in fact "they" are not there either, and are looking for themselves in the "you". Excellent write about being lost souls.

MIRROR MIRROR

next time youre peeking in my windows...
come in and have tea with me...
we'll listen to chick songs ...
watch pretty boys sing on the videos(Steven) ...
polish the mirrors...
get in the car and make Thelma and Louise look like Lucy and Ethel  
me

It is never one sided when it comes to the pain or the blame..and I think we all search in others for ourselves... but dear friend...
you are here...

If you're looking into the mirror of your soul, the trouble with mirrors is they give you a reverse image of what you really are.

Unfortunately, like almost everyone before me, I can see myself in every line.  Hmm... Really makes one think, doesn't it?  Loved it!

I am so pleased to be writing again and delighted to know that i am being read---much thanks... and i have to apologize again on slow replies---sigh,,,(you were right ron---  ---the finger is fractured and it splintered so now my whole damned hand is wrapped---puts a crimp in my already bad typing!)

thanks and open arm hugs to all! be back replying soon--but know that i am still reading... love you all.
