your disease as well?

i liked this seemed to have some dark overtones, but good write indeed.

sometimes I have no idea how to react to your words... but would someday hope to read without feeling your pain...

Interpretations can run rampant
with this, Raph...something for everyone.
A true poet...that's his job.

You do it well.

Are we safe?

Intimacy has its price
and we should wonder
if it is well worth it

No diseases here
except
the addictive
behavior of words

and we have all come
infected

This does indeed imply darker things, as all of your work generally does.

I confess that I'm unsure as to the source of your inspiration, but the open interpretation that I took to heart is chilling.

Hugs, Raph.

This was chilling, and my take on this was very morbid.

Well methinks that I found my theme poem tonight and to no suprise it was written by you....one of the very few poets here who I relate to and can find pieces of my life in his words.  Yes, this can be open to many interpretations, but, I'm sure you know why and how I relate.  This one deserves a DAMN!

I'm saving this...and once again I have a new fav of yours.
