PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

much loss spoke to me today

more quietly acquired

than could ever scream

to be found

with words of wrath

and wounds of bitter glee

I knew this man once

and today I know him even better

but perhaps its not him exactly

but where his path propelled him

to speak from

a paper platform that vanished

into a mysteriously open yet churning

always churning sea

I never suspected such admirable

circumspect

unbeknownst I'm sure to him

such beauty spoke from his pain

one soul

waxing woe

an immigrant missing of its own raw

existence

I feel so blessed to hear

such unspoken fact

hands with no gloves

only today reach out to slap me

not to hurt but wake me up

where before they only wished to hold

and perhaps attempt to satisfy me

from one old soul speaking back to

another

I'm a modified hope

an earring on the ear of the moon

if I can find a way to spin and quite

so spectacturally

joy to you too in your lowest eb shall

not flea

I love YOU Bart

I hope that can be enough for the likes of

this newly re-acquired you and me

we've known each other forever I'll bet

ere long before we took our first breaths

but I realized only just today

you are the soul gold I always suspected

you to be..............thank you for that
