    Losing Myself.

    Losing Myself.
    Esco 3000

    i awaken to her smile,
    and i lose all sense
    of where i am. for
    that small photographic
    moment in time i'm
    lost, and i love it.

    old dreams of being
    lost still come to me,
    and yet on those rare
    mornings that i awake
    to my dreariest dream
    my frowns find that,
    something-to-lift-the
    -spirits like i thought
    only wine could provide.

    so i sit up, of course,
    hoarse and found somewhere
    between last night's inebriant
    and this morning's luck.

    and though i'm slow to recover
    she is swift to lift my senses
    with the smile i know will see
    no braces, a face that raises
    my hope, and a nose like a rose,
    honoring her mother's own.

    and as it happens, things slowly
    come into focus. i see the door by
    the dresser is ajar, meaning the
    woman i shared this bed with is
    gone. my eyes again find my
    daughter and i'm sewn into
    her epic of this morning's muffins,
    missing.
    like her mother,
    missing.
    like her aunts,
    missing.
    like her father....missing.

    her mother, her aunts,
    her muffins, and all
    together missing a bit
    of myself, lost. and
    when i found that,
    well...what could i do,
    but resign myself
    to tonight's thunder
    slumber's downpour
    and the morning's
    thirst for finding
    a familiar rose,
    and losing myself.

    This was a very attractive piece, it sucks you in from the get go with it's smooth flow and excellent imagery wrapped in detailed emotion. I loved the way it read like a story and kind of oozed off the page. It was a easy read but still carrired alot of strength. I havnt seen your work on here in a while so it's nice to see that your still going strong and can still produce some really dope work. Loved the read and keep writing.

    real good eye catcher and a nice reel man. i you had such a nice story line it evolved well and just transformed such words into meaning and description ya know. it was smooth and yet rough. i cant explain it but it was abstractive at the same got damn time man...lol it was vivid man...it was like you were whispering this to me but when it came to climax sections you would yell it and suspense would kick in and i would jump man....nice.

    it wasa nice clean read man. i liked it

    Re: Losing Myself.

    Yo this was really appealing I deffinently agree with high, you didn't allow me to lose track of what was going on in this piece, it was like a story once I read the first part I had to read the second and so on so on, keep the ish up famo. You made a great writier choice when you took a simplistic turn with this topic, but the question is was this too simplistic?...Idk I'll ponder that but as of now I'm deffinently nominating this piece for hof..

    if you can..please hit up my piece fam...
