where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2003-06-17 07:41 PM


Smoke rises from an empty lung,
inhalation of the stars from far above..
Illumination, lifeless aftertaste.

Growing from seeds of red, I knew,
did you?
..Silk mazes intertwine with my sense of self.
I doubt my abilities and often wish to be someone else.

If I could gather enough strength to push you
out of context..My heart yearns for you,
yet.
Cut out crepe paper, pink ..sticks to wet lips, I think..

Smoke rises from an empty lung,
I pushed a few away for the satisfaction of
having the last taste.

Meghan,  nice use of metaphors within the

Interesting indeed, I must say. I think I'll add you to my libray

Yours truly
~Broken~

Such griefs with such men well agree,
But wherefore, wherefore fall on me ?
To be beloved is all I need,
And whom I love, I love indeed.

Well you can't be talking about your writing, as for the abilities of getting through life who the hell gets it right? What is right?
'It's all a lie to make you beg for something better than you have' blah
