Yeah, so I got tired of posting in Teen Poetry and just decided to post this in Open instead. Just to see what happens. I haven't written any poetry in a long time. So, here goes.
===================================

early spring
came in the form of
late summer
and you are telling me
"this is perfect...perfect."
music weaves itself
in and out of the scene
with so much dissonance
and i will insist that
this is far from perfect
because our hands
are not covered in blood
still i feel guilty so guilty
and, oh, this has gone
far beyond
where it was intended to go
this is far from perfect
because our mouths
speak not of what we know
still i feel guilty so guilty
under fruitless trees
and a blinding sun
you are still telling me
"this is perfect...perfect."

Erin

this is  amazing full of powerful imagery--
welcome to open, it is good to see you posting here...

The sound of silence calls,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream
The echo of our souls meet
~~**~~
