where the wild flowers grow

Amber lock
of hair,
golden fried
in the sun,
hovers
over blue.

I once was lost.

A figurative dance
of ash,
a tornado if you will..
of the dead, a rupture of soul.

I do not trust
that they were
really alive
to begin with...

I handle logic
as a tiny earthquake..
unrequited and alone,
an act of desperation, for a moment.
to make my palm shake.

I once was lost.

Now all knowing,
the complication of ignorance.

Can't really find the words to tell you how perfect I find this at the moment.  Impressive write.

Not long ago my cousin, and I were talking and we came to the conclusion that logic is alot a man thing, and emotion is a girl thing. The logic, her, and I finally thought should be the thing we should aquire more of, or at least refine it to more fit men. Then the same day someone here submitted a poem about logic, and emotions...seems it's in the air. Logic is them, emotions are us. Right brain, left brain, causes LOTS of misunderstandings. Thanks for sharing this one.

Anything... but apathy.

Here's one for you:  if ignorance is bliss...  what is the all-knowing knowledge of ignorance...?

we can all relate to this one. ignorance is bliss...but yes, really annoying at the same time. your words are familiar and comforting, and your style unique.
