You guys are really nice. Quinnie you must have read about someone else. I remember someone has a book of poetry out.

Here is some junk I wrote night before last.
It rhymes


i pick at a wound that’s not there
i search for a tear
unrest slithering through my hair

my body aches
throbbing pain
psychic blows
feeling again

the lesson means we lift and fly
and who are we to ask, But why?
cause in our hearts we live again
the same story
a different then
and did we ask did we beg did we plead
for this slow death
for this slow breath
for the oppressive depth

the package deal accepting the real?
releasing denial
or creating a new level of denial?
i’d rather Believe


and i can't stand the last two lines so i'm changing them

or running away like a wounded child


the package deal, accepting the real?
releasing denial


still running away
like a wounded child



i pick at a wound that’s not there
i search for a tear
unrest slithering through my hair

my body aches
throbbing pain
psychic blows
feeling again

the lesson means we lift and fly
and who are we to ask, But why?
cause in our hearts we live again
the same story
a different then
and did we ask did we beg did we plead
for this slow death
for this slow breath
for the oppressive depth

the package deal, accepting the real?
releasing denial


still running away
like a wounded child


yeah, that's it

That was powerful.
This one is now my new favorite by you.

& favorite part is:

cause in our hearts we live again
the same story
a different then

and did we ask did we beg did we plead
for this slow death
for this slow breath
for the oppressive depth

T, you are a wonderful person. Thank you for reading and allowing my words to flow through you as they flowed through me. I look at them as they come out as confused junk... but certain parts just "feel" right so I know there is a message there. Then it all sort of comes together when I let it and don't force it. I would still feel like such a hack though... if someone like you didn't make it clear that parts spoke to them too. That lets me know there is a reason to post it. Even if it just invokes a momentary thought through your mind. It must have been for some reason.

S, thank you, of course it always means so much for me to know you read and consider my words.

AWARENESS


Awareness: “I exist”
A spark of Light
begins to grow
expand, contract, breathe...
starting its work,
the birth of creation

The man’s life is overwhelming work,
its too hard for him to grow,
too painful to even breathe.
He has lost his way and his light,
in a hell of his own creation...
wondering if he should exist.

A tiny flower starts to grow
outside and begins its work.
Part seed, part light,
another miracle with a will to exist
and to share its creation...
a lovely scent to breathe.

Though the man’s body ceases to breathe,
He continues to exist
and must continue his work,
his journey to himself and to Light,
to discern the whole of creation.
But without interaction, his discontent will grow...

the pain distracting him from his work,
as his mind drifts farther from the Light,
becoming a distorted creation...
that has lost the will to grow,
but still continues to exist.
It makes it harder for others to breathe.

A tiny child begins to grow.
The sun bathes her in light.
She settles down to begin her work,
the dusty, chalky art, which is her creation.
She is happy to just breathe
the air, and wonder if fairies exist.

Together they expand, contract, and work to strengthen the faith in creation,
as the Light continues to exist
and breathe, and as One we continue to grow

(secret him)

You immediately captured my attention

Knowing, sensing

intense palpable energy

there in front of me

Your eyes gloss over me
yet remain

some unseen domain

envelops us

and we must

be aware
of every moment
every movement

just us

and time steps in

between us

and we part
and yet
the sensing stretches

like a net

a little broader

wider

expansive

open to the traffic


and when it ends

I just wait

to See you again.

Before the fall


I'm often afraid

that the moment our hands touch

they will braid

and intertwine like roots

divine… to bind us in this

life, as in eternity.


There will be a Knowing

in that embrace

that tears through this temporal place

thrusting a truth in our face

that cannot be dismissed or denied.


So I dance around

weaving an illusion

of time and space

and momentary intrusions

a sensual game of touch and withdrawal

a sensory experience

before the fall


that will grab us

and wrest us as we join

that will tear us

and test us

and cause us pain

that will take us

and make us

look inside

a violent force

that cannot be denied

that will make us forget

and make us doubt


what this momentary beauty

is all about

I didn't send that one to you. I'm glad you like it. I do too. "No comment" on your mood, my dear sweet friend that I love always and always.

Yes, you are right about Awareness. That was the last poem I wrote for poetry class 2 years ago?

Oh, and the tiny flower is both what you guess and what it seems... there are a lot of deeper meanings/double meanings/layers of meaning... like I do. yo.

its not anyone’s fault

torn to pieces
by a casual remark
no, it's not your fault
i've always been this way
well, for a long time anyway

i keep stitching myself back together,
sewing my limbs on and
I find all of the pieces of my heart, then
glue them together "just so"
to present it to you as whole

but you think it's too hard
with all that glue
and you insist I can remove it to
be so soft just for you
and we melt off the glue and it tears
in spots
and it hurts a lot and more is lost

and then I fearfully lift up
what's left,
scattered on a platter for your inspection
and you casually fling up your hands to tell me
you are not in the mood right now!

and the pieces and the platter
clatter
to the floor

and you quickly step forward
without thinking,
hurt and upset and eager
to apologize or explain...

*squish*

More more more!

They are so easy to read and yet so deeply filled with meaning, a little like Linda's writing because it's a very human experience being related.

Sometimes my faith
is so strong
and I can see so
clearly.

Sometimes...
THESE times,
we all make sense,
you and you and you...
and me.

Sometimes
the muses
speak to me

my rock
my fire
my childhood dream

romance - adventure - and sweet serenity ♫


for a soul friend I've loved since I was a teenager... and always will love... my Johnny Cash

I read this a couple of weeks ago, and it reminds me of you (somebody gracefully letting go).

“I loved my friend.
He went away from me.
There’s nothing more to say.
The poem ends
Soft as it began-
I loved my friend.”

~ Langston Hughes

Wow, I just got to read that message above from teasel for the first time. How I love her deep penetrating sight and soul.

Another poem for he who inspired "secret him" and "Before the Fall"...

He

are you there?
where?
this place
this space
will you replace
this vacancy

do you hear?
your soul
so dear
is it clear?
my fear
confuses what’s real

is it you?
I wait
our fate
each date
we grow
closer

time reveals
and heals
as we learn
the will
of the
higher power
