Partners in the crime of sight;
oh, dark and deadly night
‘tis but a body’s gain or loss
spread eagled on a cross
that bows to spirit calls
for the knowing of it all.    

But I, not I, the gypsy tart
of bygone slights and smarts
to foretell the end of strife
and a better human life
because dreams aren’t really real
and nothing grows from needs
planted in the nether lands
of temporal mortal man.

Partners you and I
in the framework of foresight  
but too there is a heart -
twinkle, twinkle, little part
how I’ve wandered far and wide
to discover if you lie …
and you do when undone  
from the love in everyone.  

Partners in a lie; how better to describe
the sweet and bitter remind
that all is not complete
until we awake from sleep
and the silent feel of grief
becomes a cloverleaf.

When united at the core,
can there be anymore
after all the mourners
have walked around the corner?

not all lies are lies and not all truths are truths   and predictions can be created and  stages set to have one look bad.  in my life  i have not cared for some women as the bad they talked about men. and the men they talked about played some like a fiddle. good to me  so their jealousy played in, yet abusing others  as them, yet the whole world saw the charming  good would do anything for anyone man, the spitefull,  hurting, female  so the man would not get found out.  i watched my grandfather and father play that game. i watched my ex play that game  and did not know the lengths they went to make sure no one believed them   the hurt, abused one, then  i noticed  ones who would believe  the abuser, expecially when truth known, let them think  they were ok and the female or child was crazy or bitch or liar. or on drugs or mental  so they could  have them spend their money on them  get what ever they wanted. used them.  or not get envolved as abuser is very vendictive  and would  do them wrong. you can only pray and pray  and write  and talk   and hope someone hears and sees both sides, not only one as abuser says. as they are drunk, yelling beating   lying   dehumanizing  the very one who loves and cares.  and those lies do hurt.     but wanting to stop it and still believe or have faith and love and forgivenes  is hard    to keep   and at times you fall   actually give up   needing  some one  to  help   never  getting it    people need to place themselves in anothers shoes  and see how it feels   sad thing in life   not many can   i pray to god for the strength to stop it   help   and as i stand here praying, may god strike me dead if i am not honest and sincere   about things  that most families dont want others to know.    i wonder why     i made a pac with god  and the kids mother , grandmother,which is deseased, to stop it and protect them and tell her truth.  it is so hard   and many oppisitions   even by ones who say they are godly. how sad

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

LeeJ - I just have to say again that you are an amazing person.  You seem to have a better grasp of my poems than I even do.

MGroves - I do very much hope that you will make peace with the past.

Thank you both for the read.
