where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2006-10-12 02:53 AM


The leaves attach themselves to my clothes,
as if to try and make me their tree, the limbs,
they could be immortal.
We lie in darkness
as the embers float across the sky..

I remember, long ago, feeling younger
having a soul in which I could rely.
I suppose that is what I get
for refusing to believe that things get better with time...

My hands grow numb, the cold ground that surrounds me
wants to feed upon me, to take my body
and make it into something else..
..I suppose
I would not mind.

We watch the moon grow closer
to where we chose to cry, its reflective light blurring
the lines that cross us,
but I don't want you
this time..

Eventually, we will implode,
we will be no more..
Our bodies will not involve themselves with motion,
we will be fed to something greater..
Who then, now, will help to mend your mind?

Not I..my love, not I..

Our human selves are lost inside the thought,
we will never be real...we will never
be
real...
we will always be blind.
