Perhaps there is another me barely able to be known or seen dressed up, dressed down, or adorned with furrowed brow at time’s harsh and stringent punishment decreed on flesh and bone. Every day more wrinkles play across her countenance and eyes no longer eager seem to stumble in their search for innocent tear drops to line her inner lids. She sits hands folded guarding them or hiding healing power and rests her weary body on a bed of memory while days and nights revolve around fate and destiny. She maybe has a dream somewhere in between, maybe she believes this is her time to grieve, and maybe she just knows what comes will always go and settle like a stone in the bottom of her soul. Perhaps there is another me come to call from over there and I a mere spectator caught in crossfire of desire merge into her arousal until my own identity becomes a thing unknown. Perhaps but maybe not in spirit form aligned the two of us concurrently both think today of you and wonder if your footsteps are uncertain and afraid or sure and steady, confident, in which way you choose to go. Perhaps there is another me, perhaps but maybe not! 30 September 2004 |

Thanks Gentle Spirit - I seem to ponder a lot these days - it must be an age thing.  |

Helen Perhaps, but maybe not. You are a complex person, I would bet that you hold many within you. I have seen a few of me now and then. Enjoyed your thoughts in this poem, as I always do!  |

Enchantress - thank you so much for the read. Martie - With the opposite of complex being "simple" perhaps I am complex but then again, maybe not. I guess it just depends on circumstances. |
