look into my eyes
press your lips into mine
an unfamiliar person
can be stranger than real

can't buy my love
oh, I ask, why not
since I've been away
neon is your home

Powerful, JerryPat, the moment of an encounter where one is transfixed and caught up in the indescribable. I can only imagine it as a poet trying to describe it. Perhaps I should leave it alone, and let the moment describe itself.

Hah! You did fine by explaining the poem, Art, and thank you for that. By the way, I didn't comment on you little aside to Hugo, because I couldn't really think of anything to say except jumping bad, and I didn't think your words warranted that. Thank you for being here in my world.

Thank you, Jerry. Hugo was not one of my fans, but I felt that his last words spoke of something that defined his frailty, in a way that could speak larger to those who sometimes forget their mortality!

Yeah, when I read those words the day he died it brought home to me as it should have to everyone, Art, that you are not guaranteed the next breath, even if you are a god in your own mind.

I enjoyed your short lines of thought and 'neon is your home' made for a real barn burner.

Many thanks, Bob, for reading and giving your opinion of my little poem. Yes, neon is your home felt right to me.
