first -just want to say hi. my name is andrea. this is my first poem here. it is called "and now??" . i clench fingers bones with skin many bones what would i do without you?? eyes little peering cameras never turning off on on on on on on on on please stop just sometimes no? oh--its the dumb nerves and other "mixed media" (?) making up that thing called the brain it's you brain is it not? that causes all this mess not my hands eyes oh---man. why is this not a clear night of sparkles of a million stars of vast infinity of dreamlands i used to look out the window daytime dayroom psych hospital out outside always outside the long sidewalk i knew so well pulling me much further than i EVER suspected it would then and now and the rest of my life this pull that became my lifeline that day those days at that window at that window i wed my mind welded my hands weeded my eyes and found clarity and such a mess it is one would suspect clarity to be clear yes perhaps if deciphered that way. oh man why? where is peace? and i yet am thrilled to feel the fire burn inside me once again always again again always searing as if layered deeply under and above my softest love for all things oh god where am i anymore? i feel perched on the tip of some fragile winter branch which with freezing days nights it could snap at any time and would i fly then? will i know how? to go out up high into the blackness the cold fresh air of deep silent night way out in space fly there? stars and such vast holes of mystery but it is .. i yes.. i want to fly yes i really do and i want to know fire as a source of brewing brewing what? "time" brewing "time" into a thing of many experiences searches into something something something i see touch hold as real i haunt myself as if i were in flight long ago and i just feel this ghost-like dream of hollow sound footing the floor without sound and yet it is now that the floor is beneath my feet i speak in jumbled thought and i see and dont and do and feel and hold my head low as if as if? no no one is hurting you i know i just am sad i cry why? because i i.. i am afraid of what? .. .. 'to-- to fly yeah just that. TO FLY. away. .... |

Andrea! Welcome. You are much braver than I was on entry. Took me a while to get up the courage to post. So, you see, I am quite impressed and also happy to see your here. Hope you enjoy our blues as much as I have. Peace. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Genius... You might very well be a prodigy. I don't say this too often, actually I never say this. Your voice is superb. Your structure could use a little practice but that's trivial at this point; your words came together perfectly. You are unique Andrea, don't alter your style.
