there is stength
sickening to my state of mind these days
and everyone thinks they know what I require to be sane.
I have held love again
and it chased itself through my fingers
seems the ground it lands upon when it finds me
has become less inclined to solidity.
there is a possible ample amount of touch needed
to keep me in the right corners
but I always wandered into the fight
fists up
body tensed
and utterly blinded to the real consequences of trying again
and again.
How many more bruises can my will hold.
there is a pain I should have grown accustomed to by now
and it starts somewhere my hands cannot clutch.
there are no more answers
only vague remnants of someone I always tried to be and failed.
there is a desperation in words when slender poetry fattens into a body of journal like wanderings
and a slow sinking silence as I still feed them.
There is a cirlce I have walked
and for all the words I made so brilliant a short while ago
I have come back around to me
and I am standing in rotting rooms of "me poetry" again
desperate to move past myself when I haven't.
there is a purpose out there that is lost to me
so I have decided to try sitting in the clearing
with all the paths around me
hoping something wonderous will materialize in the entrance of one or more of them.
If I'm empty
then how can I feel the bite of tears on the horizon of a moment?

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

The heart of you

Because you are never empty, you are always filled with the feelings.  Usually of love, and for love.

Thank you.

What light through yon window breaks?  It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Deep in the heart

Methinks, fair lady, that rather than sitting in a clearing, you might be better served taking one of the paths and experience more of life

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Rather than offer any kind of hollow advice, I choose to sit quietly with your creation and listen to the rain hit my window.  It is that king of day. Thank You.

I have come back around to me

so, back to the beginning again, eh??

that's where it all has to start. . . the beginning. . . perhaps a new one. . . perhaps, just a cleaning of the clearing. . . and a new sight. . .

it's good to read your words again my friend. . .

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Jenn, I can feel your heart aching in these words, sweet friend, I believe the best way to go about it is to find your way down one of those roads at lifes intersection, for it hurts and is unhealthy just waiting for something to come while you should always take the tie to appreciate the simple beauties of life until you trip upon such joy in serendipity! (sigh) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, this is a sad but fabulous poem, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jenn, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
