Complexity

I drown within complexity
The infinite of small and all
And no matter the starting be
The journey’s an infinite call.

There’s no subject matter I know
With a beginning or an end
There’s no matter that’s just so
It is all subject to a bend.

It’s relative to time and space
A relative of conscious awe
A pinpoint of a time and place
That has no place and has no store.

I am a victim of this pain
In search of a vanities goal
I am a victim near insane
That resonates a magic soul.

I’ve built a house to shelter me
For I am truly out at sea.

me thinks you need to sail to serentiy me Stinky-love...
perhaps on a butterfly boat.         

I do so enjoy the "complexities" of you mind and only you could write this line..

That resonates a magic soul.

(big hugggssssss) This is sooooooo wonderfully said, sweet friend, there's so much in this world that is complex and I wish we could apply Occam's razor to everything and feel and act more freely! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

And when the waves
come to my bow
I'll try to save
my wits somehow

by knowing that my all of me
is safe in your eternity...

[don't know why, but that's the thought you left behind....]

Seymour hi there it’s Krissy (Mushy’s daughter) this is a wonderfully evocative piece of writing. The ache in it is oh so telling, but it’s beautiful too. I really like this, you are a good writer, why didn’t my mum point you out to me as someone with exceptional talent? Hey mum, are trying to keep the premier poets to yourself again? She’s like that you know, …… You are a very good writer

Very well written, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Krissy

Seymour darling boy, damm it isn’t there anywhere that pesky child hasn’t been? Oh well hopefully my words although late will be as sweet as hers, if not sweeter.

This is one of your deep and meditative poems darling boy, as always you write with utter wonder, your pen is dipped into magic dust I think  

Truly outstanding writing and I love it love it love it.
