Collage: Alphabet Soup

Alphabet Soup This is both a collage and a creative writing prompt. For a time, I experimented with creating different versions of a collage using a copy machine to duplicate the base, and then making changes in it. Sort of like a very slow motion movie. Or perhaps an indulgence. It's fun. Enjoy. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ you may use this image for non-commercial purposes. please cite it as follows: collage: Alphabet Soup (c) 2016 douglas brent smith

my heart so full of you

even with the world falling apart all i can think about is keeping us together is bringing us together doing over chances to choose love that endures purely forming storms of passion, not disappointment and pleasures we'd treasure not measure against impossible pondering such notions preoccupy me even as you chasten me to let go of them and declare we're over that we're on the same page on so many things singing similar songs yet wrongly irregular on this         i must (don't judge)         simply kiss you again. again this. a kiss you and me and see where this leads us. and please, trust me on this i have your best interests at heart and my heart             so full of you throbs incessantly still agreed, we see this                    differently and so i'll wait and take moment by careful moment time with you until i'm no longer (we're no longer) careful and cautious but dramatically real how does that feel? (

you let go

it was everything i had inside me given to you a gift you refused, to scare me to scar me to drop me over that cliff, that curb wanting to touch you to kiss you to giggle in the sand but you let go of my hand and oh oh oh you had warned me the storm would be rough and wow did you signal it would not be enough and crap did it happen i chased without fear but ghostlike in vapor desire disappeared and so like a dark fog neglected to stand you held and then fell and let go of my hand (c) 2016 douglas brent smith
