The turning point towards part two. This one might be self explanatory, but I wear bracelets and rings as limiters and reminders of things I can, can't, should, and shouldn't do. sometimes I give them away in hopes of gaining more control over the items symbolism. Enjoy.


restraints upon my wrists

show me where you lead

bound by the heart

threads upon my neck

strewn on them, emblems,

crystals, and beads

show me where you lead,

in the dark

in the night

in the day

in the light

guide me to my virtues

show me all that I may do

love never ends,

like pearls, jewels,

and ringing bells,

memory never fades

by the days that upon

these wrists are written:

1 for every wrong

1 for every right

the things that I can do

and can be done.


Break away from these

chains that restrain

the inner being

that is me or

rather could be,

make it true, make it real

to move these seals not from

within but from outside

as they deteriorate and

are repaired

or at least that's how

it used to be,

now I add on

to keep them around

to give and show

to those I know

hoping to give them

away.
