I remember you
I remember the first time I saw you
You wouldn't and that's understandable, and ok by me.
Jean skirt
Black hair
Heart skpped a beat.
You wouldn't remember me, I was far away
and that's ok.
At this point, I'm not too concerned.
Merely thankful that I remember you.
A fool's errand is in pursuing
that which seems altogether too true to believe
Yet still, I can't help but remember you
And oddly am simply amused that you now know my name.

Grace
In hindsight I honestly really and truly could have never told you,
What exactly is grace
Never seen it like this
Probably rarely exists.
There is a physical form of perfection
A way of carrying yourself or moving
That is graceful.
But I`m almost certain now graceful and grace
represent entirely different states.
Not graceful
But grace
True grace of character
Nonphysicallly related
Referred to as graceful
A ballarina is graceful
A swan is graceful
Some overly practiced physical action
Is graceful
But grace
Unpracticed
Entirely emotional grace
Unimagineable, unthought of
Til it stairs you straight in the face
Time and time again grace
Appologizing that it can`t give more kind of grace...
Never seen it before.
Hope if ever presented with a similar scenario,
It is in me to give.
For I hope I could be half as graceful
What exactly is grace
Never seen it like this
Probably rarely exists.
There is a physical form of perfection

But I`m almost certain now graceful and grace
represent entirely different states.

If it demanded an ear
To whisper the name
I'd cut it off
If it took a finger
To point where to find
I'd cut it off
If a thumb was required
To be noticed in a meaningful way
I'd cut it off
If the price was a tongue
To spend a little time laughing and talking
I'd cut it out
If a leg was the sacrifice
To spend the perfect day walking around
I'd cut it off
If it requested a hand
To touch and to hold
I'd cut it off
If the cost was an eye
To wake up to that perfect smile
I'd cut it out
Enough pieces left that I could manage
Still with an ear to hear
Still with a hand to touch
Still with a leg to walk
Still with an eye to see
Still with a heart to swell in ecstasy
Still with nerves to crackle and spark in anticipation
Still with a cock for obvious reasons
As long as at the end,
I knew how and where to find it
As long as at the end
I knew it would be mine
For without this one thing
The whole oft feels pointless
To whisper the name
I'd cut it off
If it took a finger
To point where to find
I'd cut it off
If a thumb was required
To be noticed in a meaningful way
I'd cut it off
If the price was a tongue
To spend a little time laughing and talking
I'd cut it out
If a leg was the sacrifice
To spend the perfect day walking around
I'd cut it off
If it requested a hand
To touch and to hold
I'd cut it off
If the cost was an eye
To wake up to that perfect smile
I'd cut it out
Enough pieces left that I could manage
Still with an ear to hear
Still with a hand to touch
Still with a leg to walk
Still with an eye to see
Still with a heart to swell in ecstasy
Still with nerves to crackle and spark in anticipation
Still with a cock for obvious reasons
As long as at the end,
I knew how and where to find it
As long as at the end
I knew it would be mine
For without this one thing
The whole oft feels pointless
