Like One Lost

Some dreams warm hopes so solo does not feel alone. Some dreams block fears our aging layers seem to stay. I have distinctive smooth curves, some rare edgy art. No acceptance for no embrace in life have I. As longing, I do wait my own belonging time, my own perfect union in harmonious place. Somewhere exist a missing that just my form fills. Like one lost puzzle piece that lacks a puzzle home, my daunted shape has not fit any place yet felt. All my true textures fail to draw like textures near. My colors mix an original tone that shines yet does not mirror or reflect a same shade find. In dreams, I snap in place, fit snug in comfort feels with love-shapes hued in textures feathered like my own. November 11, 2016

CayCay, I love your line, "Some dreams warm hopes so solo does not feel alone". Hope is what carries us from one day to the next. I know what if feels like to be that puzzle piece without a puzzle. Lovely, wistful imagery.

Thank you, John. It's always nice when an 'older' poem is dusted off by an appreciative reader. I didn't expect my poem's extremely low placement to garner any attention so you've made my night! Be well in all ways ... CayCay

This is a wonderful write, although blank verse is difficult you really pulled it off. I think we all feel out of place sometimes, but nice to know you found your puzzle home.

I love the image of the curves and lines of that one lost puzzle piece. It's simply beautiful in what it does say and leaves out. Good luck in the contest, CayCay

I came back to this one and again did a double take. There are some cheeky innuendos here that do not go unnoticed. I think its the tone that draws me and the subliminal title. Its like ssomeone knocking on the back door " oh its you" sort of thing. Theres is magic here

I read your comment to Daniel and I must admit that I have felt that with your writes, as if someone has the key to your most intimate feelings. Wonderful write.

Would you believe I thought about your reaction to this when I posted it? Isn't it an odd feeling to find yourself in someone else's write? Not a bad feel, or really odd, but kinda tingly, like dainty adrenaline bells chiming softly before a thud, thud catches in the chest. That's me though, I've felt that on this site when someone gives myself to me. I appreciate your words. Have you enough nuts to last the winter? Very chilly lately in S. VA ... CayCay

I love seeing your enthusiastic self on my poems, Arthur. I just realized your pic is not a jail cell, but THE WALL of poets, isn't it? Hey, slow wins the race (I don't believe that, slow is just safer), plus my hearing is excellent. In sincerity, I graciously thank you ... CayCay

I thank you, Christy Stover. Nice to meet you (no matter if we've encountered each other before, as far as my memory knows this is the first I've seen your name) and I look forward to visiting your poems soon. All the best ... CayCay
