Vandalized

Breaking and entering
The door still ajar allows moon rays to prism
Upon shards of glass left behind
Would be vandals attempting
To steal what is mine

Squirreled away safe
Beneath the spot where wooden boards chafe
I laugh aloud at what you were unable to take
The crime committed but your reward remains untaken

The corner of one lip curls upwards in delight
Safe still are mementos and tokens
Of the girl who reads and leaves books open
Quick was your depart a mess left in your wake
But not one piece of this soul were you able to have me forsake.

The Unfolding

As I see it your words ought to reflect your intentions

No second guessing, no circumventing

As I see it your actions ought to be kind

Not one lonely person left behind

As I see it your deeds should produce  magic and butterflies

Not emphasize the hidden disguise

As I see it I am divine

Not  flawed like the thoughts of me you behold in your mind

Step back and watch my story unfold...

Diamond in the Soul

Sleep evades

thoughts permeate.

At the fork in the road

which route to take.

Both are covered with

dust and debris

but one must surely be marked for me.

A hand digs deep

to pull loose the petals that made the flower weep.

Fingers clench tightly over the loves me and loves me nots

Eyes close, heart in a knot.

The mind is shushed with determined will.

Then the first step is taken with calculated risk

One petal dropped to find the way back

Never trusting the soul to pick the right path.

Along the way there are potholes and storms

but when looking over a shoulder the path reveals

The wind has swept the petals away

Faith in them was of little consequence

It was the faith in the first step, the journey

that time spent

And to look at me now, who knows where it all went.

Shoulders are broader though their load is much lighter

The heart that was once torn has been worn like coal

to reveal the diamond within the soul.

I am

I am most times not who or what people think I am.

Set aside your preconceived notions.

Look deeper than the superficial.

Find the complex soul that lays beneath.

I simply am.
