having stood right here with precision's dare
I reached in and sliced
slivers of a trusting heart and kept each one
locked away for me,
to gaze upon each time I felt the need ...
to reassure myself I was in control
what a fool for believing
in ever after's dream,
yet I bought the song and danced a while
knowing all the time
I had those pieces tucked away,
behind the smile
behind the greed of never ending scenes
running through my head
for time and time not to ever be again,
I tried
and now, I wander in those fields of wanton lust
oblivious towards those tender souls
as they stray by
this realm I'm in
transfixed and petrified ...
you were the one who helped me through days and weeks and months
of rambling vowels and odd sequence,
I run into this wall of thought
can't press my way or won't
though I see your hand, feel your heart
on the other side
patiently,
you are where I need to be
yet, here I am
stuck ...

Magnificent. You have poured out such heartfelt love from a soul, warm and pure. Much emotions shown. You spoke to my heart. Great to be back in Paradisefor2. I have been away too long but you were never out of my mind. I enjoyed reading every verse of this poem. As always your poetic cup flows over with great enchantment.
