The lone trail

The lingering sense that the war will
Be a long one

A ****** ******* mess

There will be the 1000 deaths

Only one white stallion shall live

One dragon

With fiery breath

••

Yeah

A ****** life lies ahead

And we shall become
what we dream we are today !

••

The brutal love we bare

The poisonous words we spew so brazenly

The ugly nakedness

Of fornicating bodies

Babbling inane poetic slurs and hate

••

The wild freedom !

WHERE  ?

the night angel tunes we weave

Out of the despair

But we despise ourselves too well

For us to allow

Our love to prevail

//

Insufficient funds  

Lack of trust

Too fearful to touch

We simple wait for the devil's order

And hope we don't suffer
So very much

•

Yeah

It is good

///

The wars to come

Giving us every excuse we want

The corpses in the street

The hungry child with the gun

And we ?

Helpless victims ( so we claim )

We who are the source of pain

In the shadows

All the while

We are truly wise

( We need eachother )

//

To be together is to
Trust eachother

•

Trust  must be carefully nurtured

It must not be acknowledged
But must become known

////

Trust

It is a deeper sensation than love

For love can often times become
Superficial
Even possessive

••

Every moment that the trust continues
It soften the heart so that compassion
Becomes healing

•

And as trust flows

So do the years

And love comes to each person

Who trusts

And love fills the world

QUESTION

if you don't know that it is       Love         until it's gone
why call it      Love     after it's gone ?

Why not just describe the feeling as it is ?

Why is there an addiction to using the word     Love
when it doesn't describe what you are feeling ?

POETRY
is the creative use of words such that they allow
us to attain deeper feelings and insights

Why not use this power in our lives ?

ANSWER

the answer is quite obvious
isn't it ?

song in the Afternoon

:::::

she said

YOU SEEM SO HURT
SO BROKEN
SO ABANDONED

I LOVE OLD BROKEN THINGS

LET ME LOVE YOU
LET ME HELP YOU

I smiled

Her brittle precocious audacity was quite charming
Her  longing to be real
(Her own buried pain )

And I said

WHY DONT YOU COME OVER TO MY HOUSE
SATURDAY MORNING
AND HELP ME WORK ON MY OLD CAR

ITS SURELY OLD AND BROKEN DOWN
AND NEEDS SOME LOVE

she looked a little surprised
Even hurt

But said

SURE
I ' LL BE THERE

//////

Well
She sure knew nothin about cars
But she was game

Under the hood
Under the car

Crawling around

She was really helpful
And quite humble about things

We had a great time
And finally got the thing running

••

We went inside
I found some old clothes my big sister
Had left behind

And I gave it to her and invited her to
Use the shower

While I put our clothes in the washer

••

She came out all ***** and span

And we just stood there awhile looking
At each other

she said

YOURE NOT REALLY BROKEN
AND ABANDONED
ARE YOU  ?

and stood there in her honest vulnerability

NOT ANY MORE THAN MOST

I said

MAYBE NOT ANY MORE THAN YOU

I added

/////

We stood there in an awed silence

//

She said

WELL
I GOTTA GET ON HOME

THANKS FOR SPENDING
SOME TIME WITH ME

||~~||

SAY

MAYBE YOU CAN TAKE ME
FOR A RIDE IN YOUR CAR SOMEDAY

she stared down at the ground

OH
IM SURE OF THAT

I said

IM SURE OF THAT
