Love Letter From the Soul Xxii

M,

In forests deep where nympth do hide 
I seek out guise of nature's bride
flit of light, dipped in heaven's milk
immersed in eyes of emerald's moss
skin of silk as long legs cross

majestic mind and fleet afoot
earthen bound with tangled root
lain in fields of grace, where beauty rests
familiar face here fierceness nests

visceral and virtuous 
the flowers speak
colour bloom, shades of pink and blue
impervious
n'er angst nor sour mood

in winds of north and soul of south
feelings gift 
hearts to mouth
to hand and back to heart

soften sand to frozen land
surf to snow
weaved in sun and moon
the river flows
blood touching blood
never ending
the river flows

Weak Spots Xxii

When recurring dreams 
Take you back to that moment of
Growing up—living that younger mind, 
Where you first loved—first feared,
Breathing in purpose that is now past

Nostalgic aromas pervade the nostrils,
Taking form in memories—
Child body and voice—inventive mind,
Tracing scent-filled reminiscence 

Into some dark place, 
Where dark deeds birthed, 
Where perhaps enlightenment came 
At a strange hour of surrender

Into some dark place,
That haunts the subconscious yet still—
Traumas and miracles weaving your life
From the moment you screamed Born

Until breath too is a memory
That that present inhales

Note: I've been dreaming a lot of the house I grew up in. From all the people I have spoken to, this seems to be a common thing. I wanted to emphasize my weakness of the past. My mind is glued to it—both fascinated and traumatized by it.

Dear Daughter

Avast emotional gulf manifested; courtesy
series of unfortunate events; sundered
biologically accorded, cherished, enshrined
paternal bond; resultant dereliction defies,
justifies, ratifies...dissonance; unbearable
hindsight excoriates impropriety reviewing

dirty deeds done dirt cheap; impossible mission
to excise indelibly etched psychological
impacted repercussions upon mine fountainhead;
weighing excruciating deserved self loathing;
permanently deplorable depravity yoked;
unyielding choke hold, no longer asking

forgiveness, but airing errant culpability;
dada's guilt indefensible impropriety; begetting
permanent fallout; exacting just desserts; bitter
regret beast of burden (oxe see moron) housed
within self made villain; unjust to impinge your
providential opportunities, whose blessed smarts

plus unfettered, unencumbered, undaunted...
daring do promise productive existence par
excellence, versus anxiety riddled torturous
legacy writ large across countenance this papa;
analogously das scribe bing mortal epitaph, while
dark shadows haunt this edgy rusty knight, who

once pawn time shrugged off mischievous
lascivious actions as payback; recognizably erred;
misperceptions (mine); deduced ex post facto,
when the missus doled out unpleasantries;
exploding anger; vented regarding significant
roiling perturbations harkening to her own

unrepentant poisonous stinging toxicity;
delivered courtesy birth parents; hands lack
king awareness to rock cradle with tender
loving care, hence burdened with childhood
tsoris prior to accepting yours truly as life
contra dance partner these preceding xxii+

years avoiding unseemly behavior; aware
that the mother of our two darling daughters
doth love and forgive me, though recouping
similar results with first offspring may remain
tense, and many years past not a happy camper.
