when the heart and mind connect
something almost magical seems to happen inside
like a script that has already been writ
takes shape as emotions and ideas start to collide
for this quaint ailment though know that I do not
long for any soon cure
since what it does for my otherwise battered self
esteem makes up for the general blur
blur of what I once thought of as simple preoccupation
where now I know it is more so my intended station
the place I should proudly stand from here on out
fully erect and tall
writing all the while as I listen closely for my next
impending call
some said to be talents often appear in the form of a
simple hobby of passing
and their incredible reflection on the most shallow of
all souls is one filled with grounds for harassing
like some clandestine personal vendetta has unknowingly
to the rest of the world been made
while I attempt to rid it from my dreaded dreams
a humble good night to you, you must permit me to bade
so in ending I say
sleep well my fair tortured soul
for your previous tears cried
will remain with me forever
collected in this form of
A 'Sweet Remembrance Bowl'!..............
