Compare and Despair

/ Kait King

It’s your specialty
how you play with me
with mind
in motion
and bodies in ecstasy
Charged
Divine
your laugh trapped in time
Secretly, you practice
your lines
A mirror glance
poison flows
those eyes watch with compare
assessing what you
haven’t got
collapsing in despair
And everybody
Knows….

  11. Wonderfully evocative, and so amazing! I’ve just finished reading about children with RAD (I think my grandson has something wrong in his DNA and I’m trying to figure out what it is). Then this poem comes up and says a lot to me too. Kait, you really are the most amazing perceptive and inspirational person I’ve never met. Thank you so much for helping without knowing you were. For being there for me when I need a friend and providing wonderful advice which you couldn’t have known was needed. My dearest friend and sister, may love and peace continue to emanate from you and may you always find the same from others. Love you so much as you always give without asking for anything in return. Long may our friendship last xoxo

    • Oh Dave thank you! As I write what I do know from my heart, I just never know what those words will mean to someone else. I know timing has a massive impact on what certain things will mean to us and how we perceive or read them – but I’m just so grateful that my words found their way to you when you needed them 🙂 And what an awesome granddad you are to be searching for answers too!! Peace with answers, love and light – blessings my dear faraway friend. I laughed my arse off, by the way, when I read the ‘never met’ bit ….thought it was a typo initially hahahahaha! Love ya bro! Have a most beautiful time xoxo
