Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Imbedded In Pages

I picked up my tube of super glue
In hopes of piecing together
Sad lonely broken you
As I sifted through the bits
I wasn't sure what to do
Although there were many pieces
I was missing quite a few

Looking back to yesterday 
tomorrow now and then
I Kept searching and searching
over and over again
To find the missing pieces
I looked to your pen
More than twenty-two missing
or perhaps less than ten

Imbedded in the paper
those pieces I sought
The lessons you had learned
and the pain they had brought
All your moments revealed
They came together in thought
I heard paper like screaming
cutting through me like a shot

The glue I was holding
Dissolved slowly like sand
so I gathered up your heart
and held it in my hand
My tears fell amongst the pieces
in a way I didn't  understand
Your heart became too hot to handle
So I placed it on the land

Lifting heart up from the ground
You placed it slowly in your chest
All those bits that truly formed you
came together and we were blessed
Hidden answers you chose to scribe
where always meant to be a test
Revealing what we all are missing
those parts of us that go unconfessed

Lynn Marie August 12, 2016 at 4:23 PM A powerful piece, which feels written directly from your soul. This feels like a spiritual journey between two who have enlightened and awakened the very best of themselves to each other to now move forward freely and with a purity of love not previously realized. The title, the theme of "paper, pieces, pen" elevates the emotions to a wondrous place. Spectacular writing, an absolute joy to read..a special favourite :-) blessings, lynn

Timothy Hicks April 5, 2016 at 11:45 PM You really excel when it comes to your more allegorical musings, and this is no exception ... our heart in the pages of a ripped up poem, wow. You wrote this tenderly, as well as powerfully. "those parts of us that go un-confessed" << If your heart was penned out, I think it would be a library. Richard Lamoureux April 7, 2016 at 8:51 AM Thanks Timothy!
