where the wild flowers grow

The screens have fallen off of my windows again,
and droplets of your name have formed in humid rant.
There is nothing subtle about the letters, the formations,
the geometric shapes that stick so modestly untill I clean
them away myself.
At times I do wish that you would disappear completely,
the hint of you on my clothing and
in my memory, burned there as if I were a carcass to
be morphed in to.

I could never be rid of you.

Even now there are pieces of your eyes
lying on my floor, watching me undress and dress again.
You are a miserable spy,
stealing my childhood and my innocent convictions.
Your arms still protruding out of my walls,
trying to embrace me as if I were owned.
Holding me now and again, imagining my comfort,
still absent in your warmth.

I can never be rid of you, nor
your faint ignorant smell...you
had a choice to be..
and still, never were.

Oh wow, this tugs at the heart ...reminds me of someone i wish i didn't know as a child.

I could never be rid of you.

Oh how i understand this.

Kaoru, What an awesome combination of heart and soul. You invite us into the four walls of your discontent. Where we hear the echo of our own hearts skipped beats. You are Rapunzel trapped in the tower of his kiss. We pray for your freedom.

It is the understanding you possess, which embraces my mind...painting in words, the trying times of everyday life, and the loss of a lover, yet, knowing full well, the importance of their true wealth in setting them free, their happiness makes you yours.

Hugs and outstanding!
