Setting Off This Flash


I am not good at faking it
you make me feel like
smoke that has been scraped
too closely by fire and there
I am just melted down to ash
you think me strange
but that would be so ordinary
and I am not the least bit ordinary
and in this world
of so commonly average
you too have special distinction
the ability to be my spark

Isn't it great to find that?  And you have said it so uniquely...

I would rather my words fall upon deaf ears than a closed mind...

Lucky is that man.

Beautiful poem, slick one! One of the biggest missings of my near-exile here, is the missing of so many of your verses.

Ah, inspiration -- I'm familiar with that -- glad you have some... and it's very bright too
