Your word play and twisting ideas reminds me of another author.. and it isn't coming to me who! It's so unhelpful to say, but I have an image in my head of a story s/he wrote but can't recall the full story or the author... I hope of think of them so I can let you know.
Anyway, it's a really interesting and fresh style. Fun to read but not playful- serious without being serious.

I don't like to read too much which is ironic, but I just try to bring something new based on my life experiences...
I have a question, in this line "I'm an alchemist when I comes" did you mean for the word comes to be plural or did you mean for it to be "when it comes" which fits better with the next line?
Very nice word play going on here both metaphorically and esoterically for we few who look beyond the letters :~) this is very creative and fun to read, I want to thank you for inviting me it was well worth the trip.

I'm really glad to hear that you can find meaning beyond the words. I love meeting people with such thinking. I makes it easier to relate myself, so it's truly my pleasure to have you in my world and it sure is worth it to me. Thank you!
Let's see here, First off, I love the wordplay that you used here (Mystery => Mr.-Ry, Miss-Stress). It was really fun to read. Also helped to reinforce my whole vision of the poem.
Speaking of which, I saw two lovers (or lovers-to-be) who did truly love each other, but *something* keeps them apart. To me, that something was along the lines of... fear?
To expand upon my idea: . Perhaps the woman is/was fearful of not knowing the man's true feelings, and so they began to drift apart. Which hurt both of them. So "Mr. Mystery" finally goes to her and tells his true feelings.
Perhaps this even happens in a church. Mr. Mystery comes across her praying alone, and kneels next to her, telling her all of this in the guise of his own prayer?
In any case, this is the scene that pops into my head, and I could be completely divergent from your vision. But the real victory here, in my opinion, is that you are again able to take so few words, and charge them with so much meaning.
More commendations, from me to you.

We have yet to drift apart and I pray that we never do.
I just have to take it day by day, while reading the signs...
Thank you so much Andrew, your insight is much appreciated and highly valued to me. =D

I wish you the best in this relationship, but I am afraid I cannot give advice. I am glad that my reviews help you.
I am even surprised that I can give (Even unknowingly) insight into relationships, especially since I have never had one myself.
In any case, you are welcome, I am glad my words help you so much.

I just try to treat everyone with the up-most respect and care. Everyone deserves to know that they matter without being told by a boy/girlfriend...

My problem. I've never felt like I mattered, always being put down in school. I try my best to be compassionate and respectful... even though I never got that myself.

I have always felt and still do like I don't matter, but that's nonsense. You have to realize that you do have something to offer. What helps me is not wanting anyone to know about the good I do for others. I don't want the acknowledgement because God knows what is stored inside of me. If others don't see it...I'm fine with that. It used to be so difficult for me because I love so much, I felt that no one may ever be able to repay me with the same amount, but that's selfish. Of course there are days when I want it all to be about me, but I find true happiness knowing I can make someones day, make them smile, or laugh for a moment even if they don't tell me thank you for doing so. All I truly need and what feels me up is just having someone to talk to and I a have found it easier to do so with strangers than those closest to me... I have always been a street wanderer, the ally cat, the night owl. I used to feel so alone and lost, but now I realize that that's where I'm most comfortable. Everywhere is my place, but still a mystery and I find true beauty in that enigma haha Life is crazy most of the time. The little things i receive from the world is what keeps me alive and going...wherever that is...
Another fantastic piece of work!
Great flow and wonderful wording:)
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
