k.a.asiedu — Poetry

Beginning

The beginning of all things poetry by author & poet k.a.asiedu. It is indeed with love that I share all poetic notions & ideals with you; so that they may indeed resonate, through your senses, to your beating heart. ‘So shall we begin’?

Her Dominion

It is indeed by her dominion that she is unearthed. To know oneself is to discover oneself, by digging deep to assess your internal values; of which, will be expressed externally. It is all important, for it becomes the nexus of your identity; & thus, by which you will live by & be remembered for.

Unearth yourself.

Ad Infinitum

The symbol & is synonymous with all works by k.a.asiedu, as it embodies the idea of 'She' & 'Her' being mindfully tethered to one's being - in mind, body & soul.

The symbol '&' intends to convey the essence 'and you', while preserving it's traditional meaning, it aims to connect the principle of you between the words.

These words are the extending of an open-ended accord between myself, the words, & you; as they, like I, need you to find these words & complete the essence of their extension.

Savannah Plains

The vision that I have for my poetry is that these words find a home within you; that these words don’t fall on the faint, but in the beat of your heart - for all that is eternity.

Trust this process, as I take you through.

Changes

As much as we would like to be, we are not in control of everything; & by this virtue we must adapt & move with the motions of life. By our very nature we are designed to survive; yet, we may also thrive - if we but invoke the bravery of the Icarus theory & step out our comfort zone; & in doing so, be the essence of Bruce Lee’s, “Shapeless, formless like water” - & simply mold the existence we so desire.

There you will find the nearest avenue to the weightlessness of freedom.

Rest Assured

We all go through varying degrees of anxiety. But there is little more rewarding than being present & attuned within yourself. Where you are, at this very moment, by simple means, you are able to make that moment special for you & those in your surround. Thus, it is important to understand that whatever deed you opt to commit to doing, know it was beautiful because of you were there!

with love.

Poetry I

Well, what does it all mean? In order to understand this, one must somewhat define its configuration. The way it dawned on me, came through the way I wrote; thus, for me, poetry falls between ‘affirmations & destitutions’.

Affirmations - declarations of love, hope, promise, passion, joy & all the things we hold sacred.

Destitutions - recognition of all that we feel we are without, struggles, confliction’s, hurt, hardships, dissatisfaction, & all aspects that we would otherwise desire different outcomes to.

Poetry, still takes many forms, this is just one of them.

About you

I can’t escape the notion that you are as much a part of this as I am. The growth by which I have gone through, developing my ‘wordsmithing’ craft, would not be possible without you.

& for that I am eternally grateful.

Gratitude

Grindstone

‘Time’, is relative, yet the constant. ‘Timing’, however is everything.

We all have an inbuilt drive to want something or another, yet our intent is often subject to the plague that is procrastination. We must rid ourselves of this ailment if we are to maximize our human experience & we mustn’t be the ones that rob our endeavours of their right to an existence of their own.

Gifts & talents were bestowed upon us by a supremacy beyond our conceptualisation; yet the onus is on us to harness them by breathing life into them.

Stay committed, stay honest & watch your craft flourish.

Just Go

There will come a time, or those that have come & gone, where you trusted someone enough that you expected that they would honour the essence of you, in the same way you have done them.

& when it comes down to it, & they are presented with that opportunity to exhibit their degree of integrity, they proceed to gape their orifice to sprout tales & fallacies.

Frankly, insulting.

By their actions, & as they wish, set them free.

Where is their worth?

& equally important -

What value of ‘you’, do you uphold?

God got me

May each hold their own. However, for all that I have been through & seen, I count my blessings; as I know ‘faith’, & I know ‘fate’.

The two can be intertwined, for by walking by faith, you can meet the fate of your own design. Faith should not be wavering, yet sometimes it is; it is augmented by the fear of not knowing the outcome of our actions & decision. But if we have faith in them, that our conscience is ordained & governed by a higher presence; then what do we have to fear?

He got me in all ‘kinds-a-ways’.

Gratitude.

Poetry II

“They” - those who host deficiencies in their compassion’s stock & reside in stagnant waters of their own emotionless design.

‘They’, would claim that poetry has had its day in the sun; but how can that be possible when we still have you & I, & all the beauty that we exude between ourselves, & indeed to those in our surround, through a multitude of mediums.

It is impossible for ‘poetry’, to die.

If it does, so do we.

with passionate love -

Must

I came across this notion before, that ‘we must remove the element of choice’, in order to ascertain that which is out of reach, yet within the spectrum of our vision.

“If it is humanly possible, it can be done“; yet another quote that conveys a notion that ‘you can’, we all can. The question is when? & the answer to the said, is now - right now.

Don’t give rise to idleness. Within your means, challenge yourself to be at the forefront of your effort; peeling back, what were once, ceilings of your capabilities, while re-positioning the bar.

Because you can - you will - because you must.

love -

Free Your Mind

Sometimes, by no fault of our own, we are drawn into situations that occupy our valuable mental freedom to pursue notable cause’s for ourselves & all that we hold dear.

Sometimes, it might require letting go of something we can do nothing about. If it is a burden on your mind, it must be resolved or relinquished.

It is our responsibility to be the guardians of our mental fortitude.

Things will happen, situations will arise - but it is how we manage those occurrences without breaking our stride - by going with it.

This is for you.

Birds of the same

Life isn’t always fair, & as its way of balancing out our human experience, we may not always have it our way.

People will come & go in your life, some that mean more dearly to you. If those that part from your side ‘mean the world to you’, would you be willing to give up, or travel the world to be with that person; whenever, whatever it may be, by your means permit.

These are realities that don’t have to be limiting - if you value someone in your life - share your life with them in a way that works for both of you; & if the opportunity should present itself - be present & show them what it means to ‘find each other again’.

patience embellished through ‘a loving’ - it’s all love.

Forsake

Do not sell anything that you have to offer short - especially with regards to your spoken words; as they are, by your dictation, vocations of the measure of your sincerity.

Be it simplistic, by example, but If you are to tell someone ‘with all my heart’, understand the weight of those words & the gravity that the recipients may hold onto.

I am not saying it is not possible to mean what you’ve said; what I am saying, is the need to understand that others have lived & died by the honouring of that phrase.

Honour your word.

Her Fall

If we are to, which we will; fall true.

Fall knowing that you had your best intentions at heart & that you went after it; you had given your all with the expectation of success, fulfillment, finding & holding love - whatever it may have been - but know that you can also ‘fall’, wanting, by no prior negligence of your comprehension.

But know that, once you have experienced said ‘fall’, you are in the know. The objective is not to concede, but to pick yourself back up & endure the journey of your endeavour.

For if we are not to fall, how is it that we may rise?

Never Forget

The misconception is that we choose what we remember or what we forget; yet in actuality, I believe that these are natural occurrences that are dependent on the depth by which the events have struck their accord.

We must in most, if not all cases, move on - which is synonymous with the notion that we are indeed in control of what we think about. Thus, to reach or maximize our truest potential we mustn’t permit grievances to cloud or clutter our minds.

Yet, if deep enough - to forget? is highly improbable; & they serve purpose, as an internal cautionary tale. Thus it may be with good reason that, whatever it was does not fade to the ‘forgotten’.

Never forget - you are in control

stay true - stay loved - be magical.

Pressure

To come to understand that what we desire is all but possible & that we must drive towards its attainment. know that said drive, will not come undemanding; & if it did, controversy must be thawed & brought to light, as what you may be in pursuit of mayn’t, indeed, be provocative enough.

Yet, know this, whatever initial spur that ignited the flame within - had rhyme & reason; yes, it will be arduous, as any road worth its traverse - but hold steadfast to your resolve.

Omni Temopré

Without ‘doubt’, there would be no call for reason.

Yet, in its call to thought - let it be the call to prevalence. For what you have seen lays before your very eyes, awaiting the accoutrement of decisive action. The ensuing outcome will be as it always would be. That is not your prerogative. What is within reach is ‘how’ & ‘when’, not the ‘What will be’.

Give it all that you have, accompanied with the respect of due diligence -

‘draw breath - hold - then release - take aim - steady’

Take the Shot.

Omni Temporé

Every Time.

Experienced

What you ‘had’, may now have become the ‘no more’. I am not here to tell you ‘it will be okay’, for I do not know what you have gone through, & I refuse to patronize your encounters & confrontations.

In turn, I seek to remind you that despite the road you have walked, your tale & journey has not come to an end. There is more of you to be offered. From ‘within to without’ - so do not yield to the encumbering of your past’s; in place, let them spur you on to further grace & greatness.

As, by all that you have gone through, you are now the ‘experienced’.

Stay loyal.

Façade

In our midst, there are too many of those that desire to carry the burden of a deceptive outwardly appearance. lest they forget that all veils do as they may, ‘fall’; & sooner or later their persona will be undone, as the real ‘them’, bubbles to the surface of their identities reveal.

The tragedy arises when we, the ones that have laid down our armour at the altar of the mercy of their will, pay dues to their inconsiderate collateral damage; as we’ve tenured as their cannon fodder.

Forgive them, for they are damned to their masquerade - take with you your freedom, as you will always be above their mask.

Partner in Time

Yes, indeed they were memorable times.

Times where we were free & empowered by a reckless abandon, that none could come to fathom; where we were both present within each other’s glory.

Now, those moments of brilliance dwell in a mystical era of the distant past, forevermore.

~ I just can’t help going back in-time; revisiting our mastery.

I do; miss you & all that we were.

Touches Keep

It was true, as it always had been - he held her in a way that no one had ever, nor could. Through his sensory, he had a way of righting wrongs & soothing pains.

It was in his love; she knew it because it was what she felt.

It gripped her in ways she’ll never forget -

It permitted.

Work Ethic

To achieve the impossible is plausible; not only because, woman & man have done so before, but because it is within ‘you’, & your capabilities to see the problem & have it subsequently alleviated.

Know that no one knows your experiences better than your formed vision & conception; thus, you are the most sound & readied to turn your water’s into wine.

Yet, all of it comes from your mind, stemmed from a willingly committed heart & soul. So I say, 'be comfortable in your need to come together & be the courage of your decisions’.

Unify yourself.

Permit your desired outcomes to draw towards your work ethic.

Hera

My denotation of ‘You’, has & will always share its likeness to that of Greek Goddesses.

Rich in warmth & decadence, via heritage.

Yet, as with every goddess, mythological or as with you, they carry with them narratives of past transgressions. I only hope, that within you, you share a commonality with your sister, Hera; for she like you, has promise & is promised so much within this experience of ‘being’.

As like her, still do all that you do, as you are, by your make up.

‘With the passion & virtue of a goddess.’.

See Her

Is it not ‘only human to err’? That may be, but it is also her prerogative, via digression, to choose - ‘your forgiveness to move on is your divine’. Do not be afraid to exercise this right; for it may very well be the first line of defense against ‘the wrongs’.

You owe it only to yourself; & as much as you do, the same debt is obligated to upholding the honour of your soul’s grace, in every which way.

Thus, to those that wish to come & go, stay vigilant as their true virtues will soon come to light; & when they do, ‘forgive them, for they know not your grace’.

honour your worth -

Simply & righteously - they can-not see you.

Goodwill

It was, as they usually are, ‘tragic’.

Yet, in light of our misfortune, we should still be compelled to see the bigger picture. If you left with ‘yours’ intact, let it be. He hurt you, I know he did, though to what good does it bring upon our human experience to damn them for their wrong doings. More importantly, to what grace does this bestow upon ourselves - our growth -our prosperity - our promise.

The world’s pandemic is of ‘suffering & spite’ - be the glimmer of hope, because you can & because you are.

Forgive them & relinquish their sovereignty over your sanctity.

Never forget - you are the gift - & you are all woman times infinity.

Stand tall as such; do not dig beneath you, for the dirt only resides under your fingernails.

Be willed by all that is good.

Rise

Know that all that is promised to you, is of you. Both you & your growth are codependent on the nexus of your concerted, & repeated effort. Consider it, ‘a labour of love’,

Make your drive towards enlightenment habitual, & do not steer away from the passion that compelled your craft’s ignition, via its initiation.

Just know that this is all part of the process & soon you will be the one who will look back & gaze at splendor of your elevated panorama.

To do so we must all - Rise.

I needed you

You are in the committing of no wrong doing, by accepting the notion, that at one point, ‘you needed someone’., & in your hour of calling, they watched as your fall pulled you to the ‘unwanted place’.

You, all, possess within you a strength unfathomable, so understand that knowing, within you, that you needed someone who let you down, should be the call to reassess your dependency on the unreliable.

The fault is not of your own, you cared because you trusted them.

It is but a beautiful rendition of you that is deserved by a reciprocating other.

do not let go of it, as it is what makes you the enchantress that you are loved for,

Victor

Often, more than not, we are exposed to the undergoing of what it feels like not to ascertain; all for that one moment of excellence.

In turn, the term failure should be gazed upon favorably; as it is, for that moment, an indication that you are, & have, set upon the right path towards discovery.

As much as your frustration lays bare at the forefront of your cortex, you need your vision’s cast to see beyond the current state of debris; through too, towards the clause of the closing in on your distance between yourself & your cause - you are the effect.

Know that with each one, you become another step closer.

So I beckon; as you learn appreciate its burn.

The Vow

It is all important that we grasp the concept of self valuation. Our companions are not of us, as they - like us are of their own; by design, by make up, & in some cases, by integrity.

What we are unable to control, via our will to steer, we are able to control within ourselves, by ordaining what we are willing to put ourselves through or have ourselves put up with.

If they walk out on you - remember - you were complete before you met them & as you will be after they have gone; they are the ones without you!

You are under oath to protect your valuation.

The End

* See mirror*.

We have become ‘the consumed’, with regards to our thoughts override of our actions; so much so, that the solution may be no further than what we gaze upon in the mirror, us.

& yet we dwell amidst the tormentous purgatory of ‘deep wondering’.

Be not afraid of pursuing solution. If it has ‘dawn upon you’, it means it is there, within you; the answer & the justification awaits your valour, via your spur.

Remember there is little between right & wrong - for where there is ‘doing’, there is salvation.

know, where it ends, ‘It starts where you begin’.

First Blood

Yes, they committed to their doing; the selfless act of irreconcilable selfishness. That is what they were, that is who they are, this is what they’ve become, as this is what they’ve done.

Do not draw yourself into the fray of their unfolding; it was never your fault, for we do not govern ‘freewill’. If they were to choose to do so, there is little meaningful to gain in pursuit of altering their persuasion.

Yet, we are held accountable for the responsibility of our actions, & the acceptance of the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Relinquish their sovereign over you & draw the line where the laceration’s ripeness still seeps afresh.

First Light

Like the light, we often get the opportunity to control what we project; so, why not love, happiness & prosperity?

The filaments of joy are promised in the moments of ‘now’. So, take hold of the steer of the kindle within you, so that you may call it ‘home’.

There will be those who will try & steal what is rightfully yours, yours by an indicative entitlement ordained by God. fear not as you let them in to bear witness to the certitude that they cannot, ‘just take’; for you both walk on separate paths of enlightenment.

From each day’s first light, to your last, be the shimmer amidst your bright’s cast.

What we've become

For all truths, of ages of old, this one holds as clear as its virtue implies. There has been no reform or contort to suit an indicative growth or persuasion of ethos; it is simply as authentic as the grit between your teeth & the wit between your ears, it is, simply, honesty mongst your odyssey.

You see, what you get from your human experience is the series of who, & what it is that, you believe you are; & by you make up, it is culminated by what, & who, you have become.

The same series of underlying truths that have bound you’re anchor to the rocks bottom may very well be the opening you’ve so sort after in you aspire to set sail!

If we are destined to be the future, ‘change’ is the law of life.

Priority

It’s funny how this puzzle works; but it does - ‘work’.

Nothing worthwhile comes easy, yes; yet like the word ‘honour’, it is synonymous with a compelling drive towards a conquest of notable cause.

Its embed is interlocked with a pride & passion for the integrity behind the craft; & like its spine, it upholds an untouchable ethos that is supported by only you.

What comes after, comes after - but before the award & recognition, & by definition also - after it, there will always only be you - your puzzle - & the integrity that is your priority.

You are the ‘make’ by which the pieces fall into place.

Be it.

Yours Alone

Of course, it is to have & to hold, till all that is you, that is earthly, does part.

But there lies the enlightenment within the detail; for you are who it is that you have deemed yourself to be, & as its result, you are the augmentation by which your realizations are believed.

There can be only one, the only one, bound alone to the premise of your promise of you & yours.

We only throw caution to the wind because there is a wind to begin with – trust that it is there & that it is only yours.

As promises are there to be kept, know that you are the bond by which they may never be broken.

Affirmation

Know the nuances of your commitment, for in worthwhile pursuits, it will demand degrees of willing dowries of sacrifice, only to be paid by you.

So, when you say ‘yes’, say it lovingly, say it with purpose, with a meaning that only exemplifies an affirmative cause to a call to action.

By the essence of your creation, you are born beautiful & intrinsically invaluable.

Be the whisper, rippled, through your emotional support system so that your core may bind with ‘gut & valour’ as you take your forthcoming into the undertakings of your ‘giving’, onto this world.

You are the cup that brims, it is for you madam, to be its overflow.

Broken Bond

If it is not working, at some point we must become the ‘point of note’, & question ‘at what point, it was, that it was ever working’?

This is for those who may find themselves in a haze of a collusion that has gone on for, what may feel like, an eternity; so much so that the veil of a partnering companionship has shrouded the clarity of their vision.

For a bond to be complete it must be connected in its totality, wholly & truly – with possible fissure, but absent gap. I cannot, but you can – for from the moment that you committed to growing with one another, were you both in it together?

I don’t suggest this to prompt doubt, I bring this forth only for the inquisition that has been buried, so that it may rise & take its, right &, place on the surface of your pre-existing coexistence.

This is not the reservation, only the principle by which your resolve may be founded.

Be the solution.

Shitty Story

Be mindful of the way in which we obtain information

Listen, really listen; as the way by which we comprehend information is, intriguingly, by means of the way the information is perceived.

You see, our perception of what we reclaim is refined by the deifying notion that ‘we are only humans’; & for that reason, we should stand to be the intonation behind what we are told as truths.

Step, to stand back, & hear with a processor of ‘sort & seek’, of all that is unbiased, all that is the requiem of definitive reality; & not what we would desire to ‘hold fast’, from a fallacy.

As they would, don’t buy into their ‘shitty story’.

His Focus

Do not be fooled.

Value & respect are the two pillars that hold up the archway to your sanctum.

As you stand firm, hold true to this, as it is by means of a waypoint, a point of view, that should not be strewed; as you are the all important, & the only, gate keeper to your rights.

Do not be compromised, by another’s diminished perspective of worth.

You are more than just a ‘perspective’, you are all woman & you are real.

Karma

I know it’s hard – for what they did – they are deserving of a reckoning.

Yet you, you are deserved peace.

There isn’t much to be said for those that’ve harmed you, except the excerpt that ‘you are above their deeds’, & as such they should be ‘trialed by judgement’, may they be ‘stood aside’.

By your elegance, & the excellence of your pride – wish them ‘well’; for they do not know that by their compromise, they rest at the bottom of it.

Filled by Light

When you find that one, ‘the love & to hold’, let them in & into your soul, as there only will ever be one of him, & one of you, in a union indescribable.

Allow yourself to be filled with his - as he is filled with yours.

For light that will bore itself deep within your divine’s core may be seen by all but can only be harnessed by the earnest your ‘amor’.

Be it light, make it love.

Free-err

We’ve all made them, of course we have; for we are, by means of our existence, the extension of the definition, ‘the experienced’.

We have grown, & by doing so the mistakes that we have made, we have ‘owned’.

We’ve had to, in order to know the root & cause of the effect of that which once ‘was’.

But it’s time; it is upon us to let go; so know, it’s okay.

If you are to fulfill the way you live, you must first, from the ‘err’, free yourself.

Sail Away

If ever you have found yourself holding on to the very first gasp of his every last request, know that within you, you have the capacity to love tenderly & care profoundly.

However, you must know, from your tenure, that there can be little joy found in tethering your soul to the dispatch of another’s will.

You are the decree of solidarity, you mustn’t submit yourself to rest under heel.

Steal back your reason to be loved; & if they fail to meet the mark, do not be afraid to wish them well, as they may wish to vacate the occupation of your grace & attention – Thus by your sanction

– ‘You set sail’.

The Good Wife aka Curator of the lady of the night

Hmmm… Yet another day’s ‘late night’; yes of course it was, not only by the darkness of the sky’s dewed light, but by the personification of its lark - emulated by his wife’s sight & the stark of his plight.

Sigh.

Right, of course it wasn’t, how could it be? How could he? How couldn’t she see? How could she, when the very promise of virtue that he vowed to uphold, of which she held onto – despite they were the spoken vows he told, & the very tokens by which he sold his soul for the comfort of his, & another woman’s, respite.

Hmmm… Yet another day’s ‘late night’.

Darker than the night

The ‘fall of light’, may come to dawn on you at a time where the mast of your ‘brighter-days’, has been masked by the darkness of another’s ways.

‘No one is perfect’, yet it is not perfection we seek, it is but the perception of honesty, as it is to be perceived ‘honestly’ – though it is used as, & by the very means, of the craft & tool of his deceit.

It slithers through the luminescence of joy, discreet; as it pulls the hopeful’s under, into the deep, by their ankles, as the dark seeps between shackles by their feet.

In the surround, the silence is loud; yet it is one for you not to know until you have arrived, midst its cloud.

Now, from the clutter of the apexed clarity of sound & its iniquity, you must survive.

– climb.

Forza

Yes, let it be known that she laid her heart down; So, from the ground up, know, her attest was a testament of her professing’s of the ‘swansong’ that she sings – for all that she had regressed, her tale is ‘Her resurgence’, her story needn’t be told, as it is evident – for she was one that lived it.

Through to, ‘her now is’ –

“Where realising isn’t all – her actualising is, as its become – Her Everything”.

So on to, her Destiny.

Loving Action

It was returned in kindle & kind; for as he was sincere, she was honest – & they knew that this, what they had, was surreal.

Taste of His

La Pasión

Read it & seek.

Despite the outlook’s bleak, to dreary, stand close, so that one may hear these words clearly. Hear-ye – here, you are to live but once, but you are the nuance that is coveted to have it lived heartily; averted, hardly.

Will it ever be ‘simply easy’, for every step taken in assent needn’t be begrudgingly; yet, listen to me – do not turn your back, nor turn back, when backed up against it all, in place, give more; Listen to me;

& in turn you’ll come to learn that the very mountain that stands at your feet is but the feat, at the foot, of the passion, that you my dear, had come to seek.

Come, let us reach for the enquiry of new peaks.

Maybe Berlin

“All aboard”, was the final call. As she recanted from his ‘parting embrace’, she identified: “I don’t know what could have been done different? Maybe this was how it was always destined to end”.

“Auf wiedersehen my friend".

“Then again, maybe Berlin"

?

For Loved

Upon her arrival she was asked what it was that she desired most.

“To bring a restored benevolence to those I love”.

& with her she carried brimmed pockets of sacrifice.

Aloha

Aloha – is a Hawaiian word that is used for both a welcome & farewell, but also for expressions of good wishes, love, and affection.

- Care for you.

There was less time than he imagined; he wasn’t even opportune to ‘seize the moment’, in watching her leave. Indeed she waited for no man.

She did what she felt she had to, what she felt was ‘what she, can do’. So too, it was what she did that is worth remark; for in its undeniable, in all, he was in awe the act, ‘remarkable’.

She packed up, & sorted her affairs, & left him with his.

Morsels of inconsolable retorts was all she took - to have forgotten, all that was him in her experience of his “loyalty” & her drought.

What was interesting was ‘she was in; he was out’.

In Her Eyes

He had all but one objective: to see the smile in her eyes

‘I knew what I had found in him, yet it was what I was to discover that captivated the stir within my heart. He had, as he had done before & as he had done always, showed me a caring that aligned the haze of our tantric maze. He gave all that he was, valour and virtue, with vows interwoven with the notion that I am his chosen’ –

“I will never hurt you”.

‘It was in his uphold that he had the means to take the bite out of winter’s cold, for his radiance glowed on an even keel; & thus, he showed me that words may be blind, yet this love –

This love is real’.

Silent Night

The candles, she blew out; & then she appeared. Onto his handles, she held; so she could steer. In his ear she whispered –

"I am the captain of this ship; next stop: stratosphere”.

These Words

What if ‘words’ were the true reflection of our emotions, with promises & elations as the divine signs of them ‘working’?

Lift the ‘words’ up to the light & let it be seen; so that we may know that our love is on the cusp of its perpetual immortality.

These words, “These words”; these words spoken with the conviction, that by their diction, that ‘truth’, is therefore portioned under the umbrella of validity.

Yet ‘Caution’.

“Caution is for the wind”.

Unless it cellos, belts, bellows & blows in your direction? Yet, by then ‘caution’, draws the attention to the relent at your feet. All hope & promise bound to ‘these words’, the fee of her ‘finder’s keep’.

Alas, she may not have known that his were cheap; yet, she was in the knowing her worth & he;

‘Well, he simply could not afford her’.

Seen

If you cannot see it now, I cannot make you see it. But know it is always there, within you; readied, willing & able.

I cannot ‘draw it back’, as the would-be curtain, ‘that were certain’; ‘blinds’. But, not all hope is lost, for ‘hope’, is the bind of the elasticity of your eclectic heart, coupled with your set eccentric smarts.

‘Get started’!

Release the bounds of the proverbial stratum, that kaleidoscopes the crown of your vision; for the letter of your statute demands that you are returned to the primordial of your inner sanctum.

‘So now we know’.

So now we know, as we have always known, that the pathway to you, ‘home’, is within you; as it always has been.

Ride the tides & waves – in waves; fulfil a life, ‘planted, seeded & bedded’, granted by the whispered motive of “a dream”.

Now, you must go.

The best of you, awaits to be seen.

Our Bide

How much longer can we survive till we are made, by force or by fire, to abide by the rectification, & need, to heal the trials of our habitual digressions?

The turning of the tide will arrive, with or without our bide.

To ‘step away’, is to know the hold of the ‘write’ & the ‘wronged’; but where it is that we are in the know, of where it is that we belong, is in the knowing that where the fire persists to resist, & flames, despite the claim of the quelling, it insists.

This is where we are obliged the dispelling of myth.

For within us, it smolders with reason, & its ‘write’ is our heed.

It may be given unto us, yet we are to be the ‘reason’.

Let it breathe; by you I am freed

poetry

IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SINGLE PROMISE; LET IT BEHOLD & LET IT BE

never lost • always & forever • we are together
