Verbal stroking

My acquaintance with an insatiable hunger is tugging as if at war with wisdom.

My appetite for understanding becomes connectional

Self discovery with components of reproach.

Deflections in my path create tribunals I cannot overlook

What my heart whispers is: Be still, lodge where care finds pattern

Perception only happens backwards and whatever aches endures

This has to be for a greater healing than any diagnosis surfacing

I believe LIfe have become my muse

Stories create closure when my malady is vague

How do I keep life simple when whatever I have exists in my objective opinion

Am I really remarkable? Is this just my longing to be valued

My art form, a game I play with poetry and verse. Inscriptions unravel what my mind cannot

Searching for an intention.  Must I once again linger in this exercise of verbal stroking

Looking for the reward which exists only in the implementation of reverie

My trance has become a tango with a partner who I cannot greet

Predictions complete my comprehension while prose exists in my imagination

My breath exhales waiting for language not found, I inhale and wait for the union

Is this my dance with an unknown future wave? Can questions be proposed?

Opportunity existing in humility and affirmed in happiness? 

This may be the reason my heart persuades deliberate word worship.

I don’t presume to know for sure.
