Carrying the weight of loss...

After all these years,
I still have unanswered questions
ripping me apart.

Trying to repair
an unraveling life.

I don’t know how
to sew, not like you.
 
Needle in the eye,
tears in my pocket.

Stitches rubbing together
break me in two
and I don’t know
what to do.

Turning myself 
inside out...

"Seams Sewn in Souls Strung like Pearls Cast out into the World" 



In each of us
a pearl 
God 
the unknown
embryonic 
soul

In each of us
the common 
thread

Seams Sewn in Souls Strung like Pearls 
Cast out into the World

Different beds
Same Road

A cute little French girl named Francine
Had young garçons bursting their seams
Agitated is the word
As their hormones did surge
Were heard letting out tiny muffled screams

Sweet tinge of scent, not half gone,
Delicately spun in flowing song.

Every simple texture words create,
Artfully woven to illustrate

The story, the poem, the fabric of dreams
The written words and sewn seams.

trapped,
safeguarded,
each appendage
secured in amber,
some Jurassic specimen
created for your gaze

you regard me
with a quizzical eye,
comb your notes carefully 
for collected data
on my anomalies

how to straighten this limb,
shape this abdomen,
bend this thorax
to fashion the perfect
exemplar of your
scientific prowess

no manufactured artifice
will satisfy you
you deftly maneuver
and rearrange,
cut and reassemble,
manipulating...

I saw the difference you made
To the barrenness of your mother
Then I saw you poke fun at a worker
Who thought you were a good lover
...of sewing seams

I saw you reach out to a man
Who struggled to sit still
Then, I saw you ask another
To provide him...

With blade sharp tongue his words stung
with the pain felt when funeral hymns are sung.
In a mournful voice, off key of course,
as was his choice in the way he spoke to me.

I was blind not to foresee
the dagger that soon would be
plunged deep into my...

Falling A Part At The Seams
falling away from all my dreams
caught in a moment were my life has stopped
caught in a web when my heart had popped
running away from the past
i was hoping the pain wouldn't last
kicked down and messed around
please lay me to the...

Tucked in the seams of my dreams,
I have hidden wishes and prayers,
That only come out when I need them,
To share special moments with friends.

The seams of heaven
Stretching further,
Than the souls...

Let me pretend 
Let me close my eyes and remember that this is a dream 
One more lie to help mend a ripping seam
Just one more moment I can forget how much my heart bleeds 
One more love that is less then what it seems...

He runs along the seams.
stretching, and tearing, and ripping open.
if only to see his dreams.
if only the witness his hope and reason
truckle before his feet and flee.
glutton of sorrow!
You breathe melancholy with a sigh so pathetic and petty.
do i owe you pity?
Im just so tired...
