seeds unraveling into branches
branches spawning into flowers
flowers dispensing their fruit
fruit distributing their seeds
He said he loved me,
yet still left me.
If he loved me, how could he hurt me?
Forever, I will love him
the way he could never love me.
Wounds once buried beneath soft steps,
now echo through me, stone by stone undone.

Chaos
unruly, shifting
spinning, scattering, unraveling
whirlwind, motion, stillness, symmetry
aligning, settling, forming
steady, intentional
Order
in silence
i declare violence
a warm chill rises from the former latter
yet i am just another person in search of something better beautiful
in noise
i perfect my poise
tree branches are ruffling and rustling
shimmering, shaking, talking among themselves
unraveling their secrets
flowing in a natural rhythmic way
manipulated by the north wind
Smoking all while it is heavily but gently snowing.
Smiling through thoughts that are so saddening and so unraveling.
Staying strong as usual through all of what is separating.
The sun awakes each early morn
Bright sky glows its colors adorn
Nothing but jeans tattered and torn
Wit unraveling and voilà... a poem born

Soft fingers drift like waves along the shore
Unraveling the days tight knots once more
A hush blooms deep where quiet starts to pour
And every breath sinks lighter than before
Time is such an unforgiving *****
She is always unraveling you
Stitch by stitch.
She is constantly riding you
Taunting you along the way
She is testing your faith
And refusing to stay.
]The letter
To the
Battle scared
Soldier
Unfolding,
Speaking of
Home
Voices weeping
In the dark
Hands ringing and
Unraveling,
The letter
From home
We don't
Hear from
You anymore
Cosmic chrysalis,
chaotic change;
Pure and positively poisonous,
play with that potential;
Sting or stay a succubus,
stylish and succinct;
Cocoon of ceremonious
unraveling
contemplative chrysalis.
Grasping at straws
In hopes to cope
Collecting flaws
A heavy cloak
One by one
She picks apart
Goals, undone
Bleeding heart
A homely sight
She has become
Though options bright
She’s come undone
Home is where
your heart is suppose to be
Mine feels so very far away
I am missing something in life
What??
I don't know....
My heart is unraveling
into broken pieces
that no one will ever
put together
Rays of the sun shift thru the trees
warming flora at dawn’s awakening,
The stillness will loosen its harness
unraveling sounds in the making,
which will summon the day to yawn
and nature will take the stage
i do bleed
i do
As when life is
fighting to
bruise me
i do bleed
i do
AND
i express
m y s e l f
in a slow
unraveling roll
of energetic
stress /and\
i love you
forever &
always.

Soft smiles
creeping, hesitating;
Mending,
I keep slowly unraveling;
Soft smiles
continually calling my bluff;
Mending,
You’re slowly stitching my heart;
Mending soft smiles;
I think I want to smile back.
Dear Cheryl
My time here – in here – is rapidly unraveling.
It will be soon – when I begin travelling
back to the place and space I call home.
From this adventure- possibly never more to roam.

The flowers have died back,
back into the darkening sun.
I did not see them wither
they fell between the light
the way dead things do
when not being watched.
I only saw
a last unraveling
of the no longer there.
You humble me, undoubtedly,
Unraveling my sweater at the seam,
Denying my flesh its covering,
Exposing my shameful nakedness,
Every unexpressed weakness.
You tear even deeper,
Lacerating my skin,
Reaching for my soul to let You in.
I
Tangles
Life in bang - les and jangles
One angle
Unravels the tangles
One bang - le at a time
II
My only angle
Of untying any tangle
Is to hop on Faith - plane
Even if time made it a debris jungle
Faith rescues me every time
Pizzoulini--
Unraveling dreams, she spreads her wings
Child of earth leaves her peaceful bowers
Hailed by the golden rays of sun
Kissed by the morning air
That scatters o'er her vestal robes
Rich tints of beauty rare.

Unraveling
Stitches from our wedding quilt
Unraveling
Your so-called “business traveling"
Anniversary streamers of guilt
25 years - the life we built
Unraveling
12/1/11
Received 1st place
Overtired,
Tears streaming down my face,
Gentle snoring,
Thinking and hoping about the next day,
Wondering and wishing about the future,
Trying to discover myself,
Unraveling my emotions,
Overtired,
Tears streaming,
Gentle snoring,
Thinking of life.
Blue
Up to My Shoulders....
I remember him
Would he want me to remember?
What he left behind...
my world still unraveling...
in ribbons...
catching them...
as they fall in perfect seasons....
and half of me
knows the truth...
the other half...
asleep......
