broken



If so graciously ...oh king of mine.......
may I squeeze the soul into circles.....
to fall on the standing points
I’ve longed to understand.....
I was and still am in a dumbfounded mood 
about the spotlight around me and never on .......
buzzed in ecstasy
never to find my inner peace 
that rests on someone else's words.

========

If so, kindly, queen of mine ....
chew me into shreds into your veins....
to roam all about ....
and tell you this is what I have for you.
so deeply imprisoned, tarnished,  by the odd years,
that “unfaithful” became my cloak.

=================

from me to inside of you 
I change from state to state,
sometimes I believe,
escaping you other times,
around on the outside,
just in case I feel the aching need......
tangled in veins punching a puzzles 
smell a riddle twisting minds
and in return
I could say this is what I have for you 
none for me
all for you, 
starting a clean slate, broken.
