I'm lonely

there's a missing part
a string was snipped of puppetry

I'm lonely

and my knees are art
knocking in this symmetry

as if I were performances

as if I danced too free for string

I'm lonely.

There's a missing part

and gravity

completes my need

of the puce stains of obtuse

dripping from my brushburned knees.


I am lonely.

Lick me bleed.

Watch me pick the scabs and plead

bury them beneath the greed

of ice and things that melt.

If it were in my power, I'd erase all pain and lonliness from your life, Sweet Serenity.

For now, all I can do is send you my love, compassion, prayers and a bubble of pink, healing Light.

Even in your present state of mind, you write with such eloquence ~ and creativity.

I am wrapping my arms around you,
Linda

yep...like Susan.. I am always amazed and grateful of your talent and poetry...and for the friendship.

I am sure of my reasons, embracing the seasons,
and the sacred simplicity of you at my side.

...hmmm...I always liked the color "puce" or maybe I like the sound of the word...can't remember.

*HUG*

You do know that the thought of you and Susan together at a party, with the shared intent of grilling weenies, could be a dark and frightening thought.

poweful, just absolutely stunning, but then....what do you write that isn't?
big hugs lady
in church, they say that if you 'say' life is hard, then it will be....but 'saying' that it isn't doesn't seem to make it any easier....maybe that's what they mean about the rock and the hard place thingy...cause that's where I have been all my life...and rocks don't make good pillows... sigh

you are a poet.  there's not one wasted word or syllable.

even the apostrophe's and they're late drop, speak

very well done.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

Believe it or not I see some brightness at the end of the tunnel for you.
The darkness shall pass.
I know I owe you another visit but Leah says call first, and your phone has been busy all day and yesterday.
oh well, Cinnomon Altoids tou you.
all my best
