Rough Stones

Rough Stones can be beautiful;

Trace their jagged edge.

Maybe porous or solidly packed,

They mesmerize. 

Picture the scene: 

It's me, washed in violent ocean.

If I'm flesh, I bleed.

If stone, I'm changed.

Either way, 

I respond.

Either way, 

I have to learn.

Meta-analyses Are For Papers

Grinding gears to make product

The prospect, confusing; what is enough?

I came to give/get everything I came for.

I came to see everything.

Don't be a coward

Don't be afraid

If you are scary,

Then I am brave.

Let me be the judge of what I can handle.

Give me everything; don't protect me.

Let me show you how I use it.

The mouth, twice the size of the body.

My Best Work

You haven't fooled me, 

Even if I am bewitched. 

I'm conscious, d. 

Even if my choice is ill advised. 

Volition, here, means I exert

A love that isn't deserved

Verb, or Noun.

Given freely.

There's some liberty

In feeling a little robbed.

Because I made it,

And gave it away.

Yes, I hoped

For something more.

No, I didn't get it,

But I did my very best work.

So Far.
