JB!


His inner distress
encompassed me
I sat silent
unable to console
comfort
or offer solace.
He means the world to me
yet he is unable to see
his beauty.
Amazingly creative
gentle, warm and kind.
My heart cries out to him
locked inside his detached mind.
Frustrated, depressed, alone
trying to relate
a world of confusion
struggles to understand
why he is different to I.
I wish to be a mirror
for his grace and awe
so he will notice
what I notice
fantastical, special man.
All my compassion and empathy
falls down around his feet
unable to relate to me
thus part of his defeat.
Be strong enough
to stand by his side
and offer him
unconditional loving nurture.
whilst ask for nothing in return
my challenge
as I learn to be with him.
He evokes me
my soul ablaze
I shine within his company.
He offers me
divine consolation
whenever the plight
of meaninglessness
surrounds me.
As gift
this man
whom I so need.
To walk beside me
as my friend.
In a world gone mad
it is he who permits me
to see the sense of it.
How cruel
that he can offer me
a universe of
wonderment and splendour.
While he is blind
to his own magnificence
or is able to see me
reflect his phenomenon.
My dearest friend
whom I called JB
I wish that you could feel
All that I see in thee.

Joseph # 2


In isolation
he suffers
the burning sensation
consumes his mind.
Clutching his brain
within his hands
removing all contents
just stop.
Behind an invisible
 glass menagerie
staring outward at the world
pleading with me to relate
regardless how hard I try
I fail time again.
Fading fast
into a world
of misunderstood chaos.
The child within his being
disconnected, abandoned, unbeknown
tormenting daydreams
silent blood-curling screams
don’t leave me on my own.
To experience interconnectedness
I see, you have, not me.
Years of disillusion, confusion
“What the hell is wrong with me?”
Retracing steps
to gain a sense
of who he used to be
helplessness, hopelessness, desperation.
Night turns into day
“Why am I here?”
Countless answered questions
a continual battle to survive.
Oh how he sadness me
as he is just the most
amazing man,
so gifted, artistic, autistic, musician, magician,
Joseph…I so wish that you
could see
how brightly you shine.
