We Are What We Are

  

Angst is a place.
It is a place that rises up
To meet us.
It meets us when we are busy.
Busy within ourselves.
Within ourselves laboring to create an identity.
An identity that we unceasingly fail to create.
Then we come to learn about ourselves
At the meeting place,
Where angst and being meet face to face.

Identity is the paradox of how
We see ourselves, of how
The world sees ourselves as well.
Not the world of absurdity created by human kind.
But the world of nature
But the world we find ourselves face to face.
But the world interiority.
But the world externality.
But the world of otherworldliness.

For we are nothing in solitude.
For we are everything while in the face of Others.
For we are not really, being in-itself.
We are being-there.
A forward movement of Self while in direct
    confrontation with the world.
We are already in the world
When we go within to search for Self.
When we go within to define ourSelves.
Without the input of the world we face
We are unable to put a face upon ourselves.
We are what we are only in the face of Others.
No less, are we what we are in the Face of God.

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi

Colours of My Life

Once my life was as bright as the golden sun. During those days, I thought you and I were one. You made me very blue when you told me to leave you. Eventually I became use to it. Until years later, I thought I might have a chance. We became good friends, again. Better than before. I just couldn't leap over your new boundaries that kept us as only friends, nothing more. You possessed a strange manner In relation to your "ex's". Remaining friends with them with whom you arrived at an end? What man can have a former lover as a friend? Suddenly they were wandering around. Fixing things or seeking to be fixed! How does an "ex" trust another "ex"? What man can have a former lover as a friend? That night I must have glowed as light green was my apprehension, fear and terror to loss of you whom apparently were not mine to possess. Turning deep green, my jealousy &  envy; that ran blood red in my annoyance unto rage. Days gone past when Deep
