I saw you in the avenue of pain
screaming at the moon to give you a name
one that would hold you, granting some peace
to all those tired nights you cried in your sleep.

My convergence came to me in pain
of wonders that I saw and wanted to remain
your life gave pleasures insure that I had died
in nights amazement as we loved through out the night.

I saw you staring at the avenues of pain
to which you screamed the distance of my name
in smallest wonders of your souls content
and fearful strides that could'nt be kept.

Your hearts pure vision which tore inside your mind
gave the fire warmth as you tried to hide
from what we felt inside and deeper ever still
we ran away from what we wanted all along.

Hello Michael G....
  
        This is really a beautifully written poem, and it left pictures in my mind....
        I love the way you write, my friend!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

*sitting here shaking my head* ...
this poem is a perfect example of
why I fell for your poetry ...
from the first read...
your gift of depth of expression
and intensity of emotion awes me,
intrigues me, and enchants me.
so cool...are you  
this is one of my favs now...
I felt every line..
thank you for that...
