on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

as often happens
my memories are distorted
looking through the essence
of my murky soul

they lie to me
explaining the unforgivable
telling me you are gone
but i can't believe that

i saw you yesterday
skipping down the road
but it was an illusion
a forgotten scheme

a lost dream
i am trying to catch
so i can remember
what it was like

so i can see
you again in the
glittering moonlight escaping
from the shade of the shadow
you made when you left me

i will follow this road
this yellow brick path
hoping to one day
spy a sight of you

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

Wow. I know this so well. Reminds me of something I'd write if I'd have the guts to face those feelings.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

you are a wonderful poet. oh, and your personal quote at the bottom...lets just say you're my new favorite person because of that. jack keroac would approve :Þ. great work.

and even when everything was wrong, and we were mad at the world, it was still beautiful.
