Pocketlife
By purr_verse
Your life
is ornate and magnificent,
wielding grandeur and potency;
beautiful, imposing, powerful
and effortlessly slicing
through all in your way.
I wish
I had such a life,
but I only have a pocketlife -
small,
easily lost
and disposable.
I must stay sharp,
search for your softness
and
push.

I think at times we all look at certain others through perfected pupils and think ....if only, as I too have, but ultimately it's the constant unfolding of my own accomplishments and misdemeanors that I grade in the wake of hindsight, and i wouldn't trade my tracks for any other shoe size....but dam I feel the mental temptation oh so often...brilliant write

I'm absolutely dumbfounded - I can't think of a way to describe how I enjoyed this, or even why. I just know that I loved it, it's a unique piece, and it's not exactly something I'd normally enjoy or expect.
