we were just a rain storm of accidental you in your parking lot with lovely on and me pretending to be just a tree again nothing really in common it seemed except the asphault lawn we both realized so we shared our words of discouragement but hoped the other wouldn't lose interest or get too interested too really which could cause us both to have to do all those things we really wanted to we closed our eyes and played spin the dreams and they always seemed to stop between us like the residue of a lover's fire leaving smoke we could taste in our mouths that only another kiss could ever sweeten perhaps it was only a fantasy like never flying but loving the feeling of our wings when the other pushed them open just enough so they knew how empty they had been and maybe how full they could be again if we would let time become our loving wind ___________ daark (forbidden) |

we closed our eyes and played spin the dreams and they always seemed to stop between us like the residue of a lover's fire leaving smoke we could taste in our mouths that only another kiss could ever sweeten ~*~ your imagery is so very sensual... always lovely to read you. |

the first line, ending it with an adverb like an unfinished thought, might not have been intentional, but it was powerful. Young love is full of unfinished thoughts. It started the poem out perfectly imo. In fact, this poem almost perfectly captures the whole confusing whirwind of young love. Words of discouragement/dont lose interest (paraphrased) was a great bit. It speaks to the love/hate aspect of young love quite well while doing it in a fresh and interesting way. This poem could have easily become some sappy poem in some sad goth kid's notebook in the hands of a lesser poet. You took a theme that has been done to death and then some, and brought it back to life in a brand new way. Thanks. |

Tao..humble thanks for the comments, the scene here is way beyond young love, but love is alway young when discovered and it stays young as it grows. |

Hi DS... "you in your parking lot with lovely on and me pretending to be just a tree again" Leaving the parking lot of LA tomorrow, for a new one in Sacramento. You'll need to think of another name for me besides, neighbor. |

D I have read this poem so often that I think I have worn holes in it. I can't think of any words to describe how it makes me feel. So, I'll share my silence with you. A |

I tried to read this Dark but Alison wore all these holes in it. "we closed our eyes and played spin the dreams and they always seemed to stop between us like the residue of a lover's fire leaving smoke we could taste in our mouths that only another kiss could ever sweeten" That verse made me smile big time. Simply superb stuff Dark. Ya'll have a way with words for such a young fella. Eric |
