Premium MemberPrismed Face: An Abstraction

*Please note: 
I'm not in the throes of sadness.  Just a write for another poetry site.
~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes are half closed for I fear to see
what worry and anxiety have made of me.
All day I've been twisted out of shape,
wincing at my disheveled appearance.
Life has taken a toll with its interference.

My mirrored face is a

The Know

I dread thee soul.
The bold it rows,
Perchance, A mistake.

I see yee soul.
The form it takes,
It appears to be...of a lake.

A lake to all, that i endow,
To all of which, that i do wish.
Maybe you are...indeed,
For me the lake.
For i know yee soul,
The woo's it gives,
Its epistemology,
Knitting me,
Making me, myself...

Fire and Steel and Stardust

Eyes of fire and steel
A heart full
The rhythm going numb

A boy cries a year younger
Beside me
And a year younger 
Than I was -

Except me,
It is cruel for any body
To feel the longing

Or the falling -
Down - the rabbit hole
Into a field of prairie smoke

I'm in a field of prairie smoke - 
And it's velvet, it's

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Tinged the golden flame-
Reflecting raw umbery on the

Grizzled a silver grain

Abstraction

Woman with spineless dresses 
And men with sleeveless shirts,
Boys with Scary custom's 
And girls with gentle toys,
Crying babies, and singing cats 
Dogs born from the dark:
So they bark to be heard,  

No bones and whistles for wolves,
No man's best friend?
Just howls at the moon,
Venus upon the eastern sphere's  
Standing naked on water and

The Impossible Abstraction

Be, will be
the memories of a galaxy
an impossible subtraction
from an abstraction of reality

Divide, split, separate
isolationisms dependent
breaks every concept 
of whole

Evolutionary individuality
fractal conscious of
minds universality
divine focus of

The eternities
precipitations of life

Singularity, will
will be
the footprints of you
standing beside 
an infinite sea

The abstractions of God
from reality

Only one foot upon
the beach of creation
your wings dipped within
the singular pulse of life

Will

Abstraction of War

I crept cautiously down the stairs, I looked at my watch, it was almost 6:30, dinnertime. My heart began to beat quickly, my chest filled with dread. I tiptoed to my place at the table. I kept my eyes down, looking at my hands, not saying a word. My dad entered the dining room; he
