Poem
it glistens …
can you see?
do you see that little drop -
the tiny streak that
writes your name upon my visage -
that etches it’s damp and
dour reality onto what the mirror
shines back at me each day?
do you grasp all the
wonder and regret that floats there?
do you know the dazzling eyes
represented there as
I know them?
of a green more emerald
than olive - shocked with bolts of
gold, and glimmering
like the sun on the
spires of Oz …
oh, the limitless moments
I have bartered plunging their
dark mysteries -
swimming their exquisite madness
joined to their dreams and
yearnings and crazy, callow craves …
such a wee drip
there, a-cheek -
diminutive and inconsequential
a tiny, briny bead of
ocular insignificance, yet it roils with
the sad sobs of my marrow
and holds the
wonders and wilds of my spirit …
the ache of my
squandered passions ply
its deepest limits
swirling with an id, misunderstood,
and a life of chaotic endeavors
and endless imaginings ...
how many such beads of moisture
have trickled there
for your sake -
dropping to careless insignificance
on a cold surface below?
an ocean could not
hold all the wasted weep
that has dangled there without
name or number
and held the empty promise
of your cares …
the priceless validation of mortality
the crushing agony of deliverance
the haunting terror
of indifference and lack
the sublime sorrows
of sweet passions given to a lie
the awkward fear of a
gift in absence
the sacred apprehension of a hope, held
the wondrous horror that true
love may yet be real
the divine grief that it may NOT be
every minute, moment and mind
each elegant instance and iteration
every tender toil and
touch and temperament
swims to substance there in that drop
and is the liquid legitimacy of
all that I have been and ever shall be
yet all it is to YOU
is an answer …
and one more shining, shimmering
bleakly blessed place for
you to find …

your reflection.
