I Am It is easy for me in moments when I am settled into myself to recall every little touch, every word from lips shared, every interpretation analyzed, taking me as far back as my later teenage years. I can reverse the films in my head just to enjoy the love I once held, or turn it into sadness of my moods by winding down to the people I have lost from my life. Each night is dark for me now, too dark for even shadows to follow me, those that once interrupted by haunting me into believing in more. Selfish me, always wanting more, like a child, throwing tantrums, all but the stamping of feet. I dislike aging only because there is so much of life left to share, and each day goes by too slow while in it yet tomorrow comes much too soon. There is always a poem in me, at times one too many, that interrupts the flow of the one before. Today is such a day as I take the time to look around me, the beauty just in existing being clouded by my visions tears. Today I don't wish to rhyme, I don't wish to reason. The answers are never forthcoming unless I look in the mirror and if need be put on those reading glasses to take a closer look. Those lines of worry have grown deeper, and those bite marks on my bottom lip are from the tensions I build inside myself trying to understand "the many moods of me". I am invisible to most, and like it that way for now. I listen, I read, I learn, yet still don't understand what it takes to be fulfilled anymore. All the cliches mean nothing to me and I shrug them off when heard. I weave my days into nights waiting to knot them off leaving me to start new. I ask myself, "How are you today" at the start of each morning and today I had no answer except..."I Am" M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Suffice it to say that this is very reflective. It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency. |

The problem with the mirror of introspection is that it sometimes reflects too well. I always enjoy your work. Nicely written. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

I AM this..in my opinion one of your best... honesty without forcing form..without bending meaning to fit..or letting meaning stray.... to be able to say to yourself honestly the only answer there is at times... I AM bravo... and a hug... |
