We are as blind as our fathers
Lost in ideas of greatness
Ideas that were triumphant
Flashing like lightening
And decaying
Evolving into darkness
Only a streak left in our eyes
Blinded by passion

too often i am
scared of the
love I will
not have
on some
days
(c) Brooke Otto

this poem was supposed to be longer but this was all I was trying to say.

May many more manuscripts
find their way to your hands,
your pen,
that slightly chewed pencil sharpened down
to its end.
            Let emails fill and grace and glide into,
            and over, your mailbox,
            all for you to wake up in
            sheer ecstasy’s shock,
            because you’ve just found out
            there’s work to be done.
                        Allow this doing to be your undone;
                        go out conscious and naked into
                        the hazy summer’s sun
                        and dance, for goodness sake,
                        dance woman! as if a newborn
                        locked away in your womb depended on it.

Infamous one
Do it because you want it
Great to be inspired to get it and get it done
Motivated fuel to a burning
fire smoke heavy hard to breathe
One way or another
gonna happen like it it not
Love isn't overrated hasn't been found
Relationships don't ****
all the wrong girls no luck
Take the pad lock off the heart
if you don't love learn to trust
Open up its a start make a comeback
after your world has fallen apart
Favorite place one day share love
Share the world with one another
Live it love it do what feels natural and right

inlove with a girl who breathes like
snow so light, it is almost
nothing, nothing at all

inlove with a girl whose skin rubs against mine as
a tongue fondles peaches(cling)

inlove with a girl who sighs like the crest of a wave, falling
to meet the rest of it's body(russsshh)

inlove with a girl whose move-
ments collect eyes like her hair collects
rain or her toes collect sand

inlove like I am
inlove, like I am
inlove

Touch me the way you did before.
Say my name the way you used to.
Let me forget the horror
Of this new reality.

Just like Icarus I flew too close,
Too close to the radiance of you.
Now I lie broken bodied upon the rocks
Of our happy past.

Look at me with those longing eyes
That used to beam with love for me
Take me beneath the sheets of this new world,
And embrace me with a love long gone.

Say my name, call to me
In the sultry tones of the night before.
Wake me with the tender kiss
That used to pull the breath from my lungs.

Let me not lie alone,
Not like this,
Broken *****,
Broken hearted.

How high can you fly,
With broken wings?
How far can you fall
With a broken heart?
