This Nonchalance


As the season pressed its warmth
my body glistening from its feel,
the sharing side of me gave way
untitled still, left in your real.

The distant walks, the moonlit nights,
the candles burning in your wait.
The stories told to mend my heart
brought me to here, in recreate

Refresh, divert, to romp in words,
to clone those times I wish to hold.
I Xerox every moment of
to echo how I know its fold.

Overlapped in pleats that ply
molded, twisted die-cast me.
Here I am, selling self
by gathering dreams that use to be.

There are no takers on the coast
of rolling low to steep of high.
I am a passenger of life
riding slow in silent's sigh.

I feel myself in words of you
and dance the rhythms no one sees.
I fly the flag surrendering,
but there is none to capture me.

I am the enemy, my own
sacrificing the who-I-was.
Perfection never natured me
and so I answer just "because"

Excusing all, allowing those
the freedoms choice to change the mood.
Yet here I am in cushioned rest
to-prick-me-feel in words tattooed.

I'm elbow bruised from leaning on
from sleeping less, in disresponse,
shrugging shoulders in return
to feelings of this nonchalance.

An excellent piece in its entirety...I love the stanza above because I have been there.  But Maureen, be who you are as you are wonderful as is, my friend.  Dreams change, look back for a last embrace of the old and then look for the new in yourself.

Great write!

Maureen, I don't know what to say.
Here's a hug
