I sold myself for a handful of could have beens
And laid down among gods of wishful want
Offered up to the sky and changing winds
As a ghost that promised not to haunt
With all devices become bare before me
Of thoughts I dared not speak aloud
Given in to drowning in your sea
Then there came a contentious cloud
For reasons to discover I must endeavor
Surely fate held her sage council otherwise
Than to take ties in infancy to sever
Of ones between us that shall always bind
If not given a chance to pass heartache’s tests
Souls cannot merge through our glorious within
And at the end of the day I shall look to the west
Where I lay claim to my futile should have beens
For only a day seems now that we once were friends
The brevity only adds to my deepest sense of sorrow
And the horizon pulls you farther west as the day ends
Know that you shall resound deeper with every tomorrow

God I love the way your poetic mind works...
and this...this is more amazing than I have words for...
the longing, the ache, the unrequited,
you write it with such depth and intensity...
that it raises off the page.
And today you mirror my every thought.
Im looking in a different direction ...
but lord have mercy do I know the reflection.
Do you see the emotion your poetry can evoke...
that is your gift...(one of many)
See this one thru our eyes PK....
its special. trust me. *S*

There are two lasting bequests
that we can hope to instill in our children
one is roots ...
the other ... wings.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. *S* It was meant for someone who I hope thinks of me sometimes.
