it was like back in kinergarten,
paper mache so fun and botched...
each then white strip,
to dry and watch...
they stuck together,
all the pieces,
but it was noticable,
all the creases.
with care and ease i picked it up,
our little paper mache romance,
but still it tore within my fingers,
it was so fragile-yet lost its chance

SO BEAUTIFUL
I love how this piece sees love through the eyes of a child.
Only the mind of a child knows the frailty of emotions.
Grown minds are so cocky and sure of their conquests.
It is never their fault when thing go south...always the other lover.
....but still it tore within MY fingers...
so honest is that line..
the skeleton of constructing something is brilliant....
best laid plans sort of scheme.
Excellent title...a talent of its own....
The house of cards built by the open window...
Let me give you a gift....
If my heart
could do my thinking,
and my head
begin to feel,
then I'd look
upon the world and you,
and know whats truly real.
you inspire me,
blessings gypsy,
