where the wild flowers grow

You spin my hair
into a web,
your voodoo words echo
through the air.
A method of survival,
I was already paired
so adequately with the tears
of this delusion.

My hands slip so eloquently
through the withered dreams,
the echoes of the shadow
beneath our sycamore tree.
The willows also shine,
in hopeless despair
so quiet in my mind.

My eyes are closed to seeing
a triumph of juxtaposition.
And Oh,
I'll spit you out
like day glow fire
you will cease
to exist.
You will forget
that you had any meaning,
you will lose all importance.

You spin my hair
into a web,
not knowing the spring will catch you,
your leaves and branches so twisted and
incomplete,
you will never stop
loving me.

"You will forget

smiling here...

I've never heard (or read) you talk about how, why, or what you write, but it reads so naturally, it feels like intimate conversation. I tend to suspect you speak in poetry.

I'm sooooooo glad you are back!

And I quoted the above, because that's the part where I felt addressed personally--but I guess everybody feels that sooner or later. I'm shrugging, but I guess when it looks like your baby birds are about to fly the nest, I'm not only feeling unimportant, but downright unnecessary.

(I know that might not be what you meant, but as I said, you write so intimately!)

I'm a fan, can ya tell?

Kaoru! It is so good to see you posting again!
And how is your beautiful little daughter Freyja doin? ~ I hope I 'spell'ed her name correctly!

After reading this intoxicating poem of yours, I'd say you do voodoo rather well yourself! lol

to exist."

Giving you a warm, welcome-back hug,
Linda
P.S. I would love for you to post a recent pic of your little munchkin!
