The Many Me

by Mike K2

I don't know why,
you change complexions
the way you do?
You delighted my spirit,
fractured my being
and filled my mind with you.

You're dragging one of Me
around as I grabbed on to your
feet, "Please stay!" I plead.
Another Me is holding the
door you're about to leave though
shut, hoping you see, you're my need.

Easily pushed out of the way,
another me is like a Buddhist
priest holding lighted incense.
Another Me is in vigil, hovering
over a red candle, praying to
once again meet someone so Heaven sent.

One of Me is busy writing a
ton of poems thinking they will
add up, for you he wants to crush.
Another me is working on the perfect
one, that will catch you off guard
and make you profusely blush.

One is still at that hotel
reliving all the time, my
inflicted fantasy.
One is mucking about trying
to figure out, why you
decided to pick on me.

Me is also waiting at that
hotel room, for you to come
in so he can pass the tablet.
We had to come up with the
idea of a new poetry form,
one word at a time,
"Love Bab-lets"

Me too is loitering in
those crowded halls patiently
hoping that you will be found.
Just the same, one of me is hiding,
afraid that he will see you 
and be publically broken down.

Your many you, may generate
from those that know you
a bit of ire.
Just think of our minions
getting together and
that poetic fire.

Here's Me hoping that each
one of you, sees Me as the
perfect hiking stick.
Best friends, that firm support
that will hold when life
deals us a slip.




What crossed my mind is that in love or even a friendly relationship, we want to be everybody to that person. I decided to use a hotel as in itself, it is like a little city. Each of me and her is but an aspect of our true selves. With the addition of energy fees, at least the hotels haven't thought of charging room rates based on persona's.

I thank chessmkr1 for his, "The Legend of the Wood Spirits." I just couldn't resist concluding my poem with one of those good walking sticks.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
