The deep and shallow 
rivers
Are resolved when two 
murmur
Less words and stop 
meeting at sea

Misunderstanding

Her accent from Bronx in New York,
This doll said she needed a fork.
The waiter’s reply
Was, “Ma’am, I’ll comply.”
Now she frets, expecting The Stork.

On display, I am permanently scarred.
No misunderstanding or optical illusion
My gallery heart begs for love’s intrusion.

Every color that I had in me
Has fallen to my feet

My ununited hands
Intervowen with your doubts

Your words were moving through me
as if they were mute hands of the clock

A haunting from my past came back to see me 
that caused a misunderstanding between you and me
I cant believe this, I caused it to end, before it began,
with you as a future friend

I held out my hand to you,
that's all I planned to do--

-"Idiot! Why you want to give me broken glasses?" He said to me. 
I am sorry. No problem at all
It was a misunderstanding.
I put the diamonds back in my pocket

Full of Hardship

Full of sad endings 
But its just the start so be ready.

Premium Member A Misty Mourning

I doubt it made a sound
Soft feathered
On damp ground.

Idle reflection
Stumbles through the mist
Of misunderstanding

Perhaps its time was up
Its days counted
Fulfilled

Mourning
Will be done
In silence

Why

We always question, why
When a soul, says goodbye

Misunderstanding death, we fear it
Its sole purpose, to free our spirit

Thus, unencumbered of flesh and bone
It returns to heaven, which is home
