Reason for Detour





You found me in this state
A condition deplorable
And yet you held my hand
 and talked me down
I clutched my heart
And in you
I found
Reason
For
Detour…

I found you in that state askew
A position unenviable
With tears ragged and obtuse
Upon violet pegs you share yourself
every incensed shards of truth
         not knowing which path to walk toward
or how quickly pain absorbs, the delicate insides
                  the repressing pangs of time,
         unaware of what comes next,
                  was impossible to guess

         But as it turned out
         All you needed was someone to care for
                  Somebody to love you to the core
A person, someone
                           Who only needed you, and exactly all of
What you had to offer
        

         And I
So willingly found you
         In mirrored fractures
In mirrored fractures of disheveled decree

But together,
in each other,
each reflection makes the other
as is intended to see
as is intended to see

as is intended to be




Head on over to D'verse and enjoy some of the best poetry anywhere. Will be doing the same myself after a quick nap, but in bed, on the Ipad, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to comment or what not.  OLN is by now three hours old and I can hear the pub rocking from here.  So head on over…

  3. Sometimes being exact opposites is the thing that makes love work, each adds to the other and roles are inter-changeable, so when one is strong the other can be weak and vice versa.
    Tender, loving, and very touching Fred.

  5. Around and round we go, never know what we find when we look, sometimes have to cross out of the pit were in to find it though, the repetition at the end was great too, really added that extra little bit to it.
