where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2004-04-11 12:58 PM



a desert sunset
giving way to magnificant arrays of color,
the brightest reds, darkest greys,
even the unseen hue of violet.

white horses are in abundance
reflecting all they pass
the sand blows them away.

the majestic, royal blues
fizz like carbonation,
they breed with yellow and make forest green
so this
is no longer a desert
but now haunted pines..

you can see the frost, and
the rain's sweet vapor
burns in your nose
and has an aquired taste

as most things do...

the horses still glide through
the scenery, reappearing and disappearing
existing and not existing all at once,

remember the importance of the horses.

the colors inbred, eventually turn to black..
we are now in a land unknown,
wailing and faulty instruments
scream in Wagners awkward chords and
violins burn

..as most things do.

the horses glide backwards and say
I love you but
it means nothing in this place,
and colors
cannot
resurface and
disjoin..
so we are stuck here.

You define angst and brilliant beauty all in one.

Those lines are outstanding in their origionality...everyones origional, in their own way, but no one could ever/has ever said things in the way that you just have with such natural flow. Sometimes i feel like what i'm writing has been said before, but yours really never has. and i'm jealous!
