branches spawning into flowers
flowers dispensing their fruit

i declare violence 
a warm chill rises from the former latter
yet i am just another person in search of something better beautiful

Time is such an unforgiving bitch
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...

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...

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

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.

(this actually a rondolet, a shortened form of rondeau)

Unraveling 
Stitches from our wedding quilt
Unraveling
Your so-called “business traveling"
Anniversary streamers of guilt
25 years - the life we built
Unraveling

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....
