But I always knew
I approach the door which separates me from my memory of you. My fingers trace the worn spots- where I have held on tight, the rough edges- where I have tried to pry my hands free, the deep grooves- in which I have lost so much of myself.
I spend forever peering thru the vast emptiness of the keyhole- the portal to which I know you have the only key. Afraid to let go, and even more afraid, that if I ever do open the door- you won’t be there.
If I did allow myself to move on, how many hearts would I singe- how many lives would I unravel- knowing all the while, you have always been right?
I hear a voice, from
deep within my illusion-
a familiar voice,
emanating from my heart,

I write because there is nothing larger in life than
To be read, maybe even reread by another–
To be examined and then verified of being
Understood, or trusted like a saint–
I don’t imagine being immortalized
Or stacked in a library for hands with a million
Oppositions to wander through for
Poetic justice either–
Perhaps purpose is purchased or earned or even
Inherited by some mystic right–
But it is my reasoning I hearken to,
All that I am resonates with inscribing, putting down
My Self on the papyrus of today,
Like a manuscript never quite decrypt but
Interesting to the soul’s eye
For perpetual encounter.
