the mad matter

the mad matter

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the mad matter

 

 

 

parlay the matter

into mattering 

no matter 

what the cost

of solving the matter

what is the matter with me?

what mattered to you

was taking my matters

into your own hands

and smattering disregard

as i let down my guard

and let you matter

much too relevantly

destroying what relevant love

that to my heart

still mattered.

thank you for your kind words, Temperance,

What matters to me is that it Rains and leaves a Rainbow of Blessings.
It also matters that Butterflies bring Loved Ones Closer. The Heart of the Matter is the Beat of a Distant Drum that cals you to Wander through Valleys where Lavender grows and keeps us together through thick and thin. tenderly, Pat
