where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2009-05-19 11:15 AM



Fighting you quiet like lightening,
for I haven't the words. So easily
you speak of the lies that bind the day,
as you thrust through the branches like a wisp
of air while I struggle.
I rise with the steam of your tunnel,
growing weary of the distance still bondage,
and you say that it is merely because I am silent
that I am chained.

So I see her hands
create the Earth on which you stand,
and I wonder if my chemicals are enough to disrupt
a signal and make my own, stable enough
to hold you softly and better
than her bones.
And not knowing if a secluded voice is enough
to calm your waving limbs.

Giving you a taste to see
if it is fine enough to persuade
you to stay or come closer so that I
can breathe your warm.

I acutely feel the pain she fees. Reading this makes me want to offer comfort in some way. Her vulnerability is breathtaking.

bending the wind around your fingers
I wonder if you close your eyes
when you touch freedom...

I enjoyed your barefoot climb here ms K

This such sensual angst, megs...



(and yes, I do write a lot of bad ones--as I told a friend, I write kinda like Babe Ruth used to swing a bat--he struck out more than he hit home runs...um, I think.)

But you are totally captivating.

An intriguingly sensuous write, conveying deep longing mixed with a touch of self-doubt, that of course has no reason to be.

Love,

This line:

"...it is merely because I am silent
that I am chained"

I was disappointed that no one else pointed it out because it's so profound...that isn't a subjective opinion, it's a fact..

wonderful piece of brilliance.

You are some poet.

I create the earth
and call it
water with rocks.

I read everything you post, mademoiselle, even if I don't say anything about it. I particularly enjoyed this piece. You da bomb.

Everyone deserves to be loved, even you.

The words carry signals
and markers of an inner
being that is very much aware,

Meghan, this is pure poetry, unadulterated emotion flowing in a stream of heart-beat imagery.
