The Unknown one (Face 2) Time steals a beating heart The heart struggles to steal time We grasp at emotional tinsel We cry when our tears tumble to hell Seeking solace we find no solitude Nor comfort in the breast of life Seeking love we find only the heartless Battered down to the dirt from whence we came Seeking the past We weep in graveyards Emotional baggage Sitting on the shelf Love letters Feeding the flames Hell fires Warming the coffin doors How did it come to this? That I lie here of weary bones Stand strong and face life they preached I have no face I am the unfinished one The reflection of nothing Walking in-between icons Garden of dead dreams Cemetery kisses On unfinished faces clouds linger

Somehow many times I too feel incomplete like your unfinished one here, but guess feeling incomplete or being unfinished is not as bad as it seems, cuz when things cant feel worse there is always something better to follow. I love to dig in the depth of your heart and soul when reading your poetry, somehow there is always something more to search for. Your poetry is a gift to us . Merry Christmas.
