I got it
I finally understand
it was never you that I wanted
but instead
the drama that you presented
some would even call it a plot conflict
You see, I'm a writer
I see the world through different eyes
eyes that sometimes aren't mine
so sometimes
my mind is taken over
and my thoughts, they stray

I'm a hopeless romantic
but that doesn't equate
I've never before been so afraid
of my own self
of the words that could come out
because I understand,
and now I have to learn to separate
the who I am from the who I create
it's exhausting being me every single day
the fantasies pop up and leave me dismayed
always in a sour mood, unsure of who I am
of the choices I've made

a line has been drawn and I'm sticking too it
I know that these thoughts aren't me, but lighter fluid
and it's me that holds the power
the lighter only a tool
passion is fire
my inspiration is crude
been toying with this idea for a while

There lies a black line
Drawn through this self-hated name
And a mocking smile on the walls
**WHEN I STRUGGLE, ALL IN VAIN
a part of a poem I will not post in full. Just to keep things interesting, I'll post parts every day :) I like being different

inexplicably drawn to you
after drowning in your eyes

Your simple messages,
A little Hi and Hello.
Things that I need,
Everyday I am waiting.

Waiting for you,
Hoping that you,
Think a little bit of me
In your everyday.

I was so drawn to you.
I can't save myself
Neither can you.
Help me. Help me.

I am falling for you.

i dont think that 'i love him',
but i feel drawn to his essence
my soul feels it, down to the core
he means something,
maybe not just yet
we fooled around awhile ago,
but it stopped
and now?
i lust,
and i feel
not 'love'
but drawn
ive moved on,
not as in a new relationship...
just...
its complicated
but less so than before.

graphic novels drawn,
comic books fly about,
hero come to life.

traveling through a large plane
an opalescent sky
wide, encompassing embrace
soft lavender-gray clouds float on a string
hovering like distant islands of heaven
a land promised
tender gradient pink to gray
mile-long notations drift
isolated in blue and soft gold

in shifting rays
your voice is holding me aloft
burnished and blending
drawing me
filling my movement
rounding my heart
the rising moon
the sweet aching fullness
the deepening
twinkling colored night
is to you

I'm drawn
For the one I love... you make me feel fully alive and I thank you

Dark   green  depths  of  death,
where  waters  trickle  and  laugh
and  tiny  flowers  dart
in  the  sweet  fresh  breeze.

Pull  me  into  thine  un-dulled  depth
and  make  me  one  with  thee.
Blend  my  body  with  thine  earth
fashioning  a  sullen  element.

To  pause  in  a moment of fear  
and  everlasting  awe,
to drink thy beauty still
from  life’s  edge,  up  here.
Stopping at STORMS RIVER BRIDGE (CAPE PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA) in 1969.
