Place.

Little bit of my next project, it isnt put into lines yet and its not done. but I'll update when its finished!

There is this love I wish I could put into words.

words do not do it justice though, but it seems silence does not either.

My daddy explained it to me through the beauty. How it was in every sway of the willows soft branches, and every sharp light that woke me in the morning.

My momma explained it to me through the life. How one hug she gave made me feel more at home than a thousand kisses from the neighbor boy. How one promise from her was greater than any word a teacher tried to speak.

It just made sense. I couldn't explain it to my friends, or figure out why it was given to me. I wished to express it, but no one got it. No one could figure out what I was trying to give. Until you. You looked like you'd lost it, so I figured I could at least try to return this love to you. what I learned was that this beauty, this life, this... love, was never just mine. it was never just yours. it was ours. I could never give it away because I was never suppose to, it'll live in me till I die. it's beauty shining brighter than that same sun that woke us when we were young. We have been sharin' it from the very beginning.

puzzle.

I'm hidden under the white linen
as your volume increases. Cowering
as you began leaning over me.
The harsh, penetrating light drew
a sharp silhouette of your frame.
I began tracing my finger
across your outline. Abruptly,
you stopped me and yelled, calling me
a child. Something shakes me, I emerge
now. Louder and agreeing with every
word. I was that simple, like the 10
piece puzzles we used to construct.
You were just too busy trying
to find all the wrong pieces. You
couldn't put me together.
I was over your attempts,
never leading to our perfect
fit. But with it all, my pieces
still scattered, sprinkled across the places
we once shared. One more day
gone. I am unsolved.
