......10 PiEcE PuZzLe......

a living 10 piece puzzle i am
1 piece that reflects the other 9
my sublime mind, refined from the visual signs of troubled times
aged thoughts collect dust, my heart pumps trust & pride
porcelean eyes that dont blink,.......their desensitized
eyes that realize our worlds foreshadowed demise
a father i am who struggles so much but remains suttle
learning to ignore ignorance..withold harsh rebuttals
patiently waiting & creating a new me
a puzzle assembled with simplicity
only 10 pieces that complete me
.......my kids,my life,family,poetry, and friends.......
the main 5 that mend my past sins
and better the other 5 parts that combine to make 10
.......my feelings,my heart,thoughts,fears,accomplishments.......
after these fade, my life is past tense,
confident of my futuristic intent
scared of failing & defeat being highlights of my rememberance
i embrace my puzzle.. 10 pieces held divided between two fists
frayed and worn out pieces...failing to fit into one palm to co-exist
experience of being reassembled time and again..repetitiousness
dismantled due to struggles
i am a living 10 piece puzzle

I like the way you think, young fella...like it very much.

And the way you write......yep, that too! But the way you think, that's the key.

outstanding

I'll keep this one, to read again.
Loved the way you zeroed in on real world aspects of love and identified and accepted the most important things in your life.
