Like split hairs for soup (Split Hair Soup)
Folder:
I'm Bigger Than Ben Hur! splitting hairs.
The way it is
Is the way
it will be,
Until you really
See into me.
For both you
and I are free,
To ponder and
To wonder life's
big mystery.
At times I concede
I can be
In speech, worn
And wearing
Sometimes
we butt heads
just for kicks,
And sometimes
we just don't mix!
Like water for chocolate
I'm a confection of disaster's
Predilection,
What I write
may not wash
Or be worn well.
But, hung out to dry
For all who pry
The response typically
Some sort of wind, a
Positive or negative sigh
Melting perfectly
or curdling under
Drops from
A steaming collar.
Like vinigar for wine
I can be crass
ok, thats fine.
But at least
I'm willing
To put it all
Out there and
Put my self
on the line.
With the courage of
Conviction in and out
Of rhyme
Don't like,
don't read
Don't envy
Or tease
There's simply
No need
If we don't
Agree.
Like prayers for spells
Charismatic interference
Tends to tune out
Your technical wizardry,
And radiology
Willing or unwilling
My waves Here
under this radar have
some impact regarding
A personal frequency
and if perchance
You really want to
See the totality of me
Not just a blip;
I am many things,
though rarely a hypocrite
I'd rather take a
hypocratic oath
Of the soul
And bless the many.
I never hate
I always forgive.
Live and let live.
Why should I hide
From anyone or
anything?
I am a human being
With a gift to lift
The sorrow
and give insight
for tomorrow
I didn't ask for
this burdenous gift
It's my lot in life to
Help mend the rift
Never a pleasure,
Always a pain.
Through the lines
and particles
Of lightning shadows
I sift remains.
I puzzle I remuddle
And reconfigure again
Codex, codex and codex again
All that's left
to regain is knowing
That even though
I think It's crazy
I function perfectly sane
And every now and then
Something happens
So sublime, in that you
Understand me
and in
That simpatico
I become
For one brief moment
Like spices for wine
And
Food for thought,
Un-Like a hair for soup...
i think
you are wonderful
Totally ditto!
As a person and as a poet :)

Perhaps if no one truly looks
Perhaps if no one truly looks to see what you are they'll never understand. The poems you post say it all. You are for sure are a human being with an awesome gift!
This a really great poem. At times I feel like not even my family truly knows who I am.... Not to make a joke but a couple nights ago I found a long ass hair in my curry.. I was pissed! That's besides the point of my comment. Again great work.
Lol that's my point exactly
Lol that's my point exactly it made you think about something you didn't want to think about lol! But seriously what did you think first thoughts when you pulled that hair out? That's what my family think of me lol! That poem is how my family see me me and I am very impressed that you drew your own parallels. It's very difficult to explain why I won't go somewhere or do something tht for them is trivial, for me depending on what spirit, echo or emotion is attached to the place can be quite harrowing and distracting. When I was young ghost used to torment me they used to cut clumps of hair off my head and pinch me. I had brushes and looked terrible but my family thought I SS doing it for attention, lol! Truthfully I don't even like attention that's why I write with a pseudonym, same as when I was finishing a degree and my work was selected as one of top 20 graduates in the country there was a free trip to go to a presentation but i didnt go for that reason but my lecturer accepted the major praise on my behalf. So I think it's funny how others see me and how I see me. I am a fly in their ointment but thats ok I know about what happens. I am sane to the best of my knowledge however, one an never be too sure... I hope I didnt scare you with that. I guess I just needed to put it in writing. Lol! Thanks heaps as for listening to what your poems are about; heck yeah, I make a point of it especially when I read a poet I like I spend a little extra time on the imagery and concepts because I know how important it is being a big ass hair on your plate ;) hilarious rotfl. Jokes are my first port of call lol I love to stirr.

No way shape or form did you
No way shape or form did you scare me. I've had experiences in the same way you've had. I completey understand what you're putting out there. You're brilliant with your words and im sure with every other aspect of life. I've learned not to care anymore and learned to say "fuck you! " more to those that deserve it!
Lol! I learned they are not
Lol! I learned they are not even worth that! ;) thanks that's a big thing I will always appreciate that. Ps I love my family though they do try sometimes to get where im coming from sharing theirs stories as long as its their stories of course ;) I wouldn't change em for the world though. They are always there in my darkest hours and sometimes in my sweetest moments, family can't live with em ant live with out them huh? Ever grateful, Cheers SS
