Ace of Spades

Ace of Spades

7 say 2
Moisture in a bloom
Little metallic men
All staring at you

Because in the case of gemstones
The heart shall lay
In taters, thread bear
All mangled and frayed

3 say 8
If only I stayed,
I`m getting used to my traits
Of back and forth. Wait.
I`m thinking, but it is getting late.

I know,
You used to think of me. That way.
I know your voice. Through the noise
Guide my way.
And tell me the answers. I`ll give you my all.
I know it’s not that simple…

6 say 4
Never used to bored
Never cared to ignore
Never tried to give up
When I knew my Trenzalore (Doctor who)

Because in a cemetery of headstones,
Where the bodies shall lay,
But we do not forget.
When the soul flies away.

Because
In memories, time passes.
So, let us remember

The Laughter. The Sadness.
The Stories. The in-between.
And of the wait.

For the Ace of spades.
The Fish of the Sea.

Hey FISH!!...It seems I have just been missing your stuff lately.....on at different times of the day I guess.....cuz I just caught this one from yesterday and I see that I've missed a few .....Just wanted you to know......I definitely look out for them when I can!!.....This one has me a little befuddled with the number remarks ~ 7 say 2...6 say 4.etcetera......I don't what that means   a card game reference maybe??......also the "little metallic men" left me in the dust too......Please fill me in....I mean I have a pretty good vocabulary so I guessed at some things like.....In the US  "Taters" are potatoes.....but I 'm assuming you meant "Tatters" like ripped clothing......little things like that really slowed my interpretation and none of the comments helped me out much either....so.....can you help me here?......Memories from a funeral where there is also a Love interest attending kinda thing.......just a guess.....I Can normally figure out most....but you got me stumped here brother!!......Talk soon....T xo  : )

Hi Tony, sorry for the delay in my response, might it be because we are on opposite sides of the Earth eh my friend? 

First of all please don't apologise for not reading or commenting on my work~ I reckon without you Cosmo will fall like Rome. And yes, I do mean by barbarians XD. Seriously though you contribute more than any of the VIPs are more active than most. So don`t apologise because you're awesome!

Secondly, this one was a bit nonsensical, I was trying to experiment with heaps of different styles in this. It`s how we learn am I right? The closest thing I could get to intent is that its a reflective write. Counting the years go by, reflecting on the Good and bad. Stating the facts from a new angle.

You know if I were going to share something bold, I`d say that I think I have finally gotten to the stage of maturity that I don't care what others think. So many times have I doubted myself or how I am perceived. That's the kind of reflection I`m going for with this.

If I were also bold, I`d say that the next one might take down a bit of the curtain behind my identity lol. It has to be written! I need to vent ;).

Lets just summarise this one as. Lifes complicated. And I`m getting no younger. 

Hope this helps Tony.

Thank you for your awsome comment.

Peace to you always.

Brilliant Max! Loved the references and symbolism displayed and so neatly well written and so neatly woven together.
I'll be honest I didn't catch them all but could read your intent and loved the way you reached your conclusion as well,
your superb last verse with that poetic killer of a closing line
just hanging there full of pause and reflective meaning for every reader to  slowly grasp and then to powerfully and emotionally understand. Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing Max and will catch up on more tomorrow, but in the poetic meantime five stars and  quickly pinned for a further reread.
Hang in there Max and things out there are slowly but surely improving my friend.
I wish you well and all the best. Shaun.

Awww thanks so much Shaun! Bit nonsensical this one bit experimental too. Really glad you liked some of the aspects I`m playing around with at the moment! I have a big project that I`m writing about called "Faces in colour" based on an old highschool experience. Hoping to work and comment heaps this arvo! Peace and thanks again Shaun, you're a killa support of my work! Smiles always my friend.
