Everything I write is drivel.
Everything I hear is too.
Everything is just the same
again
again
again
refrain...
Inhale,
Exhale,
even breathing,
stifles me
with boredom
seething
a foot's desire
to kick down walls
same old song--
the same dancehall.
what-o-what
is there to do
when every day
is tarnished blue?
and everything I've seen before--
a feast of turkey...
(who wants more?)

Save me from this dusty shelf.
If this is Heaven? Then give me Hell.

Some find subtlety in strangers
some find subtlety alone
Your eyes,you see everything
my eyes,I see its all together now
and I know.

but turn my head indifferent.

Hey now
you go writing things like that
and I WILL give you HELL
in QUATRAINS
COUPLETS
SONNETS
and the occassional venemous RONDEL
for Good measure.

I will state something of what you speak.

You take care.

Dwell upon it too long, it becomes less exciting,
Too much of heaven makes hell more inviting.
Stand thy ground against it!
For a fatal attraction it is!!

I would like to thank everyone for listening or reading to me rant---but AT? I've no idea why boredom with my own life would anger YOU--but if it does..we can write sonnets, whatever you like...I just need a common ground of understanding. I am truly perplexed here.

No No
NOT Angry
was just saying, if you really want Hell, I will cast it up in verse that (I am told will make your skin crawl)

I write a good bit about the poles of Heaven and Hell, the latter unfortunatelt being rather my speciality if late. Egad, I recently awoke to a dream. Better leave that off for now.

But if you want Description/Exposition, Hades, I am the guy.

Sorry I have been working on a book called "The Plains of Heaven, the Sewers of Hell" for about 3 years. And a couple lifetimes.

No anger, just offerring services.

Oh, go on and piss them off, you know
sometimes you feel you just have to vent and when you do you go on. Don't you get tired of watching every thing you say (kidding a bit here) I mean being graceful and reserved for all of your life is draining and besides, most say what THEY want anyway!!!!!

wanted to thank you all properly...but? funny, it's not much better t'nite...sigh.

Strange how feeling TOO ALIVE can make you wish for a coma...at least in a coma? One expects to be alone.

Love and thanks to all. *and I'm FINE...nothing that a good night's sleep--oh too late...a few hours of morning sleep...won't cure... *

Can't give ya hell Celeste because you're a little touch of heaven...especially when your spirit gets disturbed a little bit...then, you write with this kind of passion, the open firey hot honest kind of writing.....and to me that's a little bit of heaven....carry on dear poet lady!.

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
