Unmistakable

I knew I was home 

Because of that unmistakable feeling

Returning, complete familiarity 

Clashing at once with complete novelty

The most comfortable estrangement

Claims

I think boys more than girls

Claim strengths that are not theirs

While girls more than boys

Claim weaknesses that are not theirs

Growing apart is a claim put into practice

Smile/Congrats

Hardly remember your voice

But what's less familiar

Is that smile

That's a different smile 

A smile only he can give

Comfort

We only just ran into one another

And yet she saw me

In my entirety

Letting me bask in myself 

Comfortably for a change

What to Bring

You brought me to God

Where else should I go

You brought me to forever

When else should I submit

To bring you so much less

Manifest

Yes, there are people who

Could afford to put more thought 

To their actions

Perhaps in this case you could put

More action to your thoughts

Pana

A terminally overused canvas
Was her best guess for her current state
Digging into herself with palette knives
Her vibrant layers stripped beneath turpentine beards

Her masterpiece though, in tact beneath the base coat
