timmy's poetry - 23. Lost Boy and Found

Bad night.. redeemed with the help of a good friend...

1. Lost Boy

 

I still sell myself just for a different price

The only cost is my soul

Bend me shape me, I’m not my own

Just a boy, so unworthy

I took vows of obedience

So that’s what I do

Whatever your wish, or command

You tell me that you’re pleased and proud

I look the mirror

I don’t recognize who is standing there

 

 

 

 

2. Found

 

The past is never far from me

Just a bump brings it screaming back

You saw a soul stripped raw

Held me close until I could breathe

Held me close as memories overflowed

Held me close calmed with a gentle kiss

When I’m okay you release me

And you are gone again and I’m left

Longing for your touch

Thanks for reading

Beautiful and tough. The whiplash speed that the bad can be brought back to front of mind is so terrible and hard to deal with. We have to count our blessings and find ways to ground out in the good. Always helps to have that someone there in the moment.

Lost...then found. A powerful duet of poems. Our minds are often our own worst enemies, conjuring up self-doubt. That's when a friend, even in a virtual world, is valuable to have around. 

 

As always, your poems evoke raw emotion.

I know I've said something about these wonderful poems, just where was that, though? :unsure:

I liked them the first time, and I'm sure I said so, but just in case- Oh, wait, I'm sure I said I loved these poems. If I didn't, I must have been half asleep when I read them. Okay, my mind is shooting sparks for some odd reason, so I'm going to shut up now..

 

Except to say. Nicely done, as always, tim :hug:

I love the contrast between these pieces. There is a dark symmetry to them that tells a complete story - and the order one chooses to read them drastically changes how the story ends. I love the raw openness of your poetry, it reminds me of some of the best punk shows at CBGB; everything completely out there with no artifice or diffusion. 

Thank you. Your comments are humbling and I appreciate them very much. And I'd never heard of  CBGB, sounds like an interesting place. Thank you so much for the wonderful comments.

Thank you Lux. I was lucky there was someone to reach out to. Made a big difference. Thanks for your comments.

Lost Boy brought up all sorts of ideas. First I pondered the nature of relationships, and giving; next, you forced me to think about loss. It is a brilliantly compelling poem. Found is far more in the present, more raw. In this you place me in your shoes, seeing through your eyes. You make the reader try to feel your hope and your emptiness, utterly successfully.

It's easy to slip back into the self hate/doubt. This time a virtual friend, i hate that term they aren't virtual, they are a real as you and me. But it made a big difference to me that day.  Thanks for your comments, Mac.

Thank you so much Parker. I agree about Found, i wrote them both on Friday and Found was the easiest to write but in some ways the hardest. Thank you for your insightful comments. xo

Both very strong poems! Great sweet brother of mine. xoxo Sis

Thanks. I had to write them. Sometimes they give insight and a little perspective. Found, was the hardest, because I keep doing it over and over...xoxo

I'm always profoundly moved by your poems ...  after reading them over and over, I'm never sure whether you're in a good place or not ... but such is life with its ups and downs, so I'll echo Dughlas' comment and offer you an extra warm and gentle embrace ...

Oh! My friend. Even though writing these may give some solace to your heart, I can feel for you. Take any chance as the time to let go the past. To get over with. I'll be waiting aside you when you do that, or hesitate , or ignore. But remember you matter. For everyone who care for you; you matter. :hug::hug::hug:

 

Love, 

~Emi.
