each glimmer

*
they twirl around my heart
then, float into my head ~ ~
whereupon
i reach and grasp
one at a time.
*
i arrange them just so,
with a tweak here and there ~ ~
deciding how and what and why.
*
line by line is scrutinized, tapered and refined,
while making certain my thoughts are portrayed ~ ~
as i imagine them in my mind.
*
what they eventually become
are glimmers of me
but
dear reader,
i must remind you ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~
not every gander
i allow you
to see
is what it may appear to be…

i always feel the need to write a post like this – which, in all honesty, i should not – i succumb to my self conscience and worry about what others read and perceive. especially my dark words. silly, i know.

You don’t “succumb”, you are aware of your self conscience! That makes you special! Happy New Year to you and all those around you.

Thank you 🙂 I have to run over to your blog and get caught up – my boys are home right now – other than being a voodoo princess, I am chef, chauffeur, house cleaner, laundry chick…..I want you to know that I am so thrilled to have discovered your blog. Thanks to our heavenly wolf friend, I was directed to your gravatar. I hope you and your daughter have a 2015 full of love and wonder and good health and progress. I know for me, it is progress. We have no where to go but straight forward:). Just make certain to bring the voodoo dolls!! xxx

Love the last few lines. I think we all do the same. A bit of purposeful mystery and deception is a must for poetry. I think, anyway.

Thank you;). I know that I write about a lot of things and some of them are dark. Some are about me and some are not. I think sometimes people take my metaphors literally. Of course, poetry’s meaning is in the eyes of the reader………😏
