I am to Become I am not more than life Only a part of others completeness And if you had x-ray vision You might be able to see thin layers Being pulled slowly from my aura Making me vulnerable to sins and love… Layer by layer I express myself without shame Even onto the awaiting eyes of darkness Trying to find my way without seeing ahead The stubbornness of a man afraid to fail Trampling on the discarded skins of others As my dry tears ignite their dreams Flames that smell of bible pages misunderstood Previously wrapped around my own body Now loosened by the tears of my heart And the departing of my former self… So, layer by layer substance peels Trying to find the reasons I exist From thoughts that are eager to be real Against imaginary fears and hopes, That never surfaced or came to fruition As years passed and memories faded Leaving at the core of everything A man, his soul, and the whispers of God… Marcel |

..."Against imaginary fears and hopes, That never surfaced or came to fruition As years passed and memories faded Leaving at the core of everything A man, his soul, and the whispers of God…" Your expressive heart draws the reader close. This is an amazing verse. The wave built throughout, and softly landed shore. This last line gave me chills. |

I feel as if my soul was cleansed. It's all I can think to say. Beautiful beyond words. To thy own self be true |
