I'M SORRY* I'm *ANGRY
I'm SORRY for my ANGER
I'm so sorry...

I..... I can't help it right now
I can't help you
I can't help anyone

I want to BREAK walls
And PUNCH them
And KICK them down

I WANT TO BURN DOWN...

...my walls....
The salt water coming from my eyes burns the skin of my walls....

escape !

From the orphanage !

Perpetual child !





It's time to grow
It's time to leave
It's time to live



Old songs !

Meaningless !

Look for someone to love you ?

And you are good as dead
two things
have not memory.
a stone tossed in a well,
a raindrop in flight.
....

there may be more,
but of these two i am sure.
.....
to live without memory,
is to live without hope.
for without memory,
there is nothing,
to compare the now to....
She was an appetizing,
poetic proposition,
right from the opening line.
No way to keep
that veiled suggestion,
curtained off from
my window of attention.
Then I decided---
in slow time
ate that sensual  creation
in total self- absorption.
Couldn't help speeding up when
the crescendo of culmination began.
A poem should be enjoyed to the hilt, be it in the moring or night

Mountain ranges reigning
In silent majesty

Silent streams descending
From the purity

The gift of the trees is added
To the harmony

Leafy boughs bowing low
In revelry

••

You are the song of love

Calling out for all to heed

You are the light of love

And I am you and

You are me

the slightly skinny girl

The home is known

The brazen debauchery

Is over

:::

The silently offered relief

( This of all days ! )

A young boy appears

And they walk together
Forever

And who would be

Is glad

He is

Doin somethin'

He is

Goin somewhere

Child of pure fortune

Straight out of the 40 year desert

Free from the poisoned love songs

On the way to who knows where

/:::/

Learning how to understand

Learning how  to know and feel

Your love can't touch him

He is one only with what's real

Winds they blow

( There is always fear )

Even if he's all alone

He's never lonely

For the god is there

Love

Truth and honesty

Thru the 40 year desert

To the promised land
for those in peril on the sea

plays each morning steadily.



fingers tap the sounds, the words,

little ideas readily.        wore rags,

ate off broken plates before

it was screened.



yet i bet this is not a first,

not really our idea.



so we keep on mending, making, pray

for those at sea.



sbm.
I wish you and I would intertwine
like a silver-blue thread through the darkness,
and unravel ourselves,
float like dust, illuminated by the sunlight,
so I can't tell me from you.
I wish we'd be the small, overlooked tones,
making up a melody,
that faintly linger on subconsciously.
Me and you should be the wind
and the willow,
and kaleidoscopic convolutions of the sky,
of the mind;
a bouquet of flowers,
shared,
with a once-empty park bench,
for some lonely souls.
Their unseen smiles blossom in return.
There's plenty of life, even in a graveyard,
There is simply,
lots of love
between
all things.

She cries late
                  every night
     Turns off all the
                           lights
         Sits in bed
bawls
             her eyes out
      in the dark
Cutting out pieces
      of her heart
No one can see
                          the scars
           of her sewing
back up her chest
       Soon she will be
             an empty shell
        Hopefully
                    putting her soul to rest
If her heart
                    is no longer there
It can't get broken,
              right?
If no one can see
                          the tears
Then she never cried,
                     right?
