Not too much time, No. Not much now. So now, we laugh at everything. Everytime, we hug goodbye, we study eyes in dirge's sing and smile them into lullabyes. This may be the last we touch-- this, this thing, we don't discuss. This may be the last goodbye. So let us laugh--Enough of Cry! Let's just talk about the day... "normal"-keep the 'strange' at bay. I hate to shut the door behind - reluctant twist of wrist in wind. I hate to turn and lock the screen. These days I hate most everything. I do not want to be so strong. I want home. And home? Is gone... And every word I yearn to say, abandons me- I whisper "hey" My Dad--returning gaze to me, sad eyes in apology, I, in him, and him in me... and HE tells ME--to be strong. *repost from Corner Pub--with apologies for the double post but I wished this to be considered as a companion piece to "Open Door"--I would understand, should this be "pulled", but I do hope the two pieces will be considered together* |

My how those things are like your skin, they surround you forever and the feelings seem to jump in and out of an emotional blender. This is such a good exposure of the aftermath...... "we hug goodbye, we study eyes in dirge's sing and smile them into lullabyes." Wonderful write Celeste! Keep up the poetic chin so that all those thoughts don't drain down into a sad poet's heart. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

My thanks to all--especially for prayers answered. My father has no intention of going quietly--  --apparently that fighting spirit IS genetic!!!! Thanks to all for their warm wishes and emotional support. I love you all! |

This one left me in tears, gal... especially the lines "I want home. And home? Is gone." I think he knows the words you long to say... Excellent write! [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 04-29-2001).] |
