Eloquent Fragments Falling Free

There is an eloquent beauty in words and verse

A piece of your soul sinks into a line and is there bared to all

Fragments of the life you lead,

the kindness in your heart pieces of it broken and dismembered

A soliloquy of what you hide behind the look within your eyes

To try to be distant, to try recall the facade of indifference

disappears when your mind and your pen become one

It is into the mind of a man broken, elated or misunderstood you wander

Coming undone and making sense of what they never knew was misled

I calmly write out my inner demons watching letter by letter come to place its part

The map that was incoherent within the confines of a thought build

Making what was once whole, torn rebuilt and rejoined into something so much more simpler

Ink stains fingers, taints paper forms lines and links from soul to mind

Opens the channel between one to another,

Be not ashamed of the horror you may feel in a breath

a reflection of a tear that sheds itself onto the floor

Always believe, always hold onto the shame of what is in your head

Define yourself with the beauty of a letter, a fragment of rhyme and reason

for all that are there with one thought create, procreate from the iota that calls to you

Build from that reflection you see in the fragments of another and turn all that you are asunder

Pen leaves paper, thoughts dim and I turn over the page

My fragment lies here for another

A shard of who I am and how I see what I see turned into a landscape of verse and vision
