Imperfect In this small, quiet place deep inside That ripples from nothingness to highest tide In mere detail of my every thought Caresses farther reaching than such footfalls wrought Shaping your mouth to the form of my lips Sculpting your skin danced beneath fingertips Perhaps out of reach in these times far apart Ever the nearer at home in my heart Your mind is the blade that dissects fact from truth Every morsel about me presumed beyond proof In the absence of fact, quick to fill void and vale This emotional well so disposed to set sail Or take flight on the tide lifted near to the sky So intent on the wind chimes dallied pleasantly by Dreams meant to dream, as the sun meant to shine In this small, quiet place imperfections align Copyright Kkh 3/19/09 |

It's amazing how imperfections can add up to a kind of perfection and we all keep searching, sometimes for ourselves. This is simply great!! Eric |

Every morsel about me presumed beyond proof In the absence of fact, quick to fill void and vale So many jewels in this beautiful write... but these two lines really resonate in me. *S* |
