Fractured Beauty

"Kick the door down,
Deliver it to me, autographed,
And opposite yourself from what WE see."

Is it that easy?

Sounds like more of a lobotomy
When mind of soul is fractured, real,
And candle’s light flames
Passion’s zeal
Where voices break, reside inside,
Finding need for seek, and hide

It’s why the Chalk Garden
Grows the roses never promised
To stark the red against the white
And why I stray from dark of night
Whose path might lead to discontent

And like a page, the mind is bent


Kick it down
The voices mutter, so
Like a diver breaking surface to splutter,
To gasp at air that’s owned by sky
Floating in the horizon’s eye

A floating mind is like a sigh.

Where are the edges, scraped of flint?
Are they behind the scarlet tint
Of the darker edge of night
Where the high ropewalk is
Done sans tights

And the mind is fractured beauty
A study of disgruntlement...
Who says the strange are but a few?
When the mirror shows me

You?

Hmmm, K.  This sounds very familar to me...seems this is where I got so lost in my journey to becoming me. I've come a long way in past 2 years!

A very interesting write...I am thinking!
