She's A Petal

And 

He's A Thorn  

From A Different 

Type Of Story

Since They Were 

Born

She's The Opposite 

Of He

Such As A Butterfly

And He's  

A Killer Bee

She Becomes A Victim 

To His Sting

And He's Amazed 

By The Colors

Of Her Wings

The Life He's Led

Has Left Him With Some Scars

But She Viewed Them All

As Mere 

Beauty Marks

How often

 do we listen without listening

to our favorite artists 

Comforted by the sound 

of their voice

as it engulfs our being

Until 

a particular phrase accompanied 

with a musical backdrop 

captivates our attention

Undivided.

Moments ago 

As I listened to the words above

 in italics

Jaheim & Mary J. Blige 

illustrated opposites attract 

in unconventional 

happenstance.

Transporting me back in time 

remembering  an inclination previously expressed

attaching a new memory:

Have you ever heard a song 

and felt the musicians ____ 

emitting through your speakers?

A sensation that causes a fluttering

in the center of your chest; 

where emotions are stirred.

Trying to understand why it's enchanting. 

What about yourself or apart of your life, 

does it remind you of.

Making you press 

repeat 

over and over again.

These are the songs 

we love most. 

They speak of, to, and through us...

To me, 

memory is beautiful. 

Remembrances that are unexpected 

or purposely rehashed.

Holds the pieces of where we've been & who we are.

~*PoeticParable (September, 2010)

For every blemish that cannot be erased

imbedded into our physiques 

For all the words never spoken aloud

echoing in our minds

For every missed chance encounter

due to overthinking

For every second opportunity 

because we didn't appreciate the first

Are lessons within 

the vitality of living

never the totality of 

our essence.

With understanding 

the transference of energy

and the importance of 

vibratory states 

which effects our being

I surround myself with frequencies of love

as a constant reminder

of reciprocation. 

To never become fixated

by a sentence 

on a page 

in the book of life.

Knowing 

with every breath 

that is taken

new words are written.

With every individual 

we encounter

adds (+)

A comma, exclamation point,

predicate, verb, abbreviation,

question mark, 

semicolon 

or 

An indefinite 

period

to illustrate an 

ending.

As our stories continue.
