i've got nothing
i search and i search
this empty head of mine
coming up with scriptures best meant for another time
one of peace and of wine
where the young children drink and the old children dine
a place of good hearts
with souls cold and bare
this place of singers and mutes
that no ripper could tear
a hopeless sea
of dried up dreams
left by this wayside of hope and pristine
this land of enchantment and doom
the apocalypse and her groom
the lonely old soul who gave up too soon
and couldn't convince
this women of death and of light of theft for the night
taking and giving dealing and breaking
who's pretty little head was severed for making
peace with the world
and peace with the war
so she took back what she took
and created the shore
and cast every stone
every brick and silenced moan
into the the neverending black
silent and lovely
forgiving to the end
a sky left above me
with a broken back that can bend
a nice little hand that has all of its fingers
but can't grasp the sand from which this ocean has lingered
and wondered and wondered
where do i go now
but the beheaded in doubt
set sail for the clouds
goodbye decapitated one
with heaven as a son
have good times and bad
have them all have them sad
but do not forget the love you once had

"have good times and bad

Gavin:
Welcome to PIP!
You will love it here
A lesson in history . . .
nice write
If I am thinking of three different
periods here that you have written of
or maybe I am looking too deep
Awesome write indeed

Gavin, I like this very much.  I've read it several times and admit I'm a history-dope.  However maybe it's from your history. In any case, I really like the way you've written it.  Where did you go?

(big hugggssssssss) Wow, this is a very powerful debut, dearest friend, rambles can always sound so mysterious or cryptic yet somewhere in it all something seems to make sense, this is marvelous! Welcome to Passions, sweet Gavin, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your wonderful poetry, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gavin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
