39 plus two

it could be worse

and from a dress

covering

the most very pleasant

naked beauty

of the best of you

illuminated

by the perfect sun

you can't avoid

through the crystal

through your hopes

through your dreams

from the very best

way to see it true

and so it goes

not even then it appears

true

says the machine

said perfection fears

foot to mouth

soul to ground

another myth

another beast

another battle

a bet you have to make

the perfect struggle

the perfect war

a pain for cause

a cause for...

a perfect life

a perfect lie

not one

not one of us here

a thing unclear

not no one dear

not nothing "real"

not one of us, it's true

no matter the struggle

no matter the cost

no matter the worth

not one of us full

makes it out alive

" "

I do like your poetry. Even though I'm no expert on the subject. I am impressed with your fluent style and easy to read.

And I like your....

You wear it well my friend. I wish all humans had your confidence. I salute you sir.

OH Tosh! I do try to write stuff grown ups can relate to! If you get my meaning?

It's hard, actually being a grown up. It's a game most people only pretend to play.
