Laughing

Our first response

When oxygen hits our lungs

Vibrates our vocal cords

Is to cry

 

Kids make fun of kids

On the playground

Down the red slide

It makes you cry

 

Not wining

Loosening the retaining

The feeling of lack

Swells up tears

 

Sometimes I am too lost

To see it

That silent knowing

That pervades the ringing

In the air

 

Painful, yes

Sometimes very

In its way

Perfect

 

I try to understand

Sometimes I can see it

When I am not suffocated

 

Life is beautiful

In its own way

All the suffering

Is worth the perfection

 

Of a joyful laugh

Love Is not Perfect

My love is not perfect

Far from

I took it for granted

Allowed it to shrivel and prune

The thorns larger than

The roses

Love is more

Than a feeling

But the feeling

                                                                         Is there

It’s a commitment

A selflessness

A painting that is

Never Finished

I have allot

Of learning

To do

Mixing

Black root beer

With

White Ice cream

Letting the two halves

Mix and become

One

Letting go

Of resentment

Knowing your fear

Was not a way

To control

Rather

A place of your love

For me

As my burn

Shows

Still allot

Of learning

To do

Maybe one day

My love

Will be perfect

I will be

Dead by

Then

But everyday

Little by little

I keep learning

Maybe one day

I will get there

Until that day

I will struggle

And yearn

And be

Forever thankful

That you are

At my side

Leading me

To the

Perfect love

That we

Share

Perfectly Imperfect

I am perfectly imperfect

And I am

Finally ok with that

I am perfectly imperfect

I am discovering that

Imperfection every day

And that Is perfection

I am perfectly imperfect

And that is beautiful

In its own way

Perfectly imperfect

I try every day

To get it “right”

I am done trying

I am just going to

Start being

I am understanding who

I am

And

I am

Perfectly imperfect

                                                                       

And that imperfection

Makes me feel
