Jupiter's tears streak the night In a bloody flash of anguish Running, streaming, flying Upon the disarrayed cloak Of tortured night. Moon ribbons weep silently Through waves of glittered space Falling, drifting, mourning Weaving through pale apparitions Of whispered sunlight. The tender shine of Earth Lays shadowed within your soul Fading, quieting, withering As among the clouds of thought Your darkness screams. The lips of angels beckon With the rosy breath of forgiveness Flitting, dancing, singing Through the luminescent showers Of a diamond eternity. Let Jupiter's tears slide away Upon the silver comet's haze Running, streaming, flying Through your dust enswathed reverie And into crystal starlight. Cassers, I've been thinking about you a lot sweetie girl. It appears to me as if the darkness is closing in on you. And I can't bear to see that happen. Please try and heed my words and fight it. You have the spirit, the power, and the love to do so. I believe in you, always have, always will. *Krista Knutson* "Thought is real, physical is the illusion..." Albert from ~What Dreams May Come~ |

wow a fantastic and dark poem, send my regards to Cassers. I hope she (?) finds the light. an excellent poem, powerful rich imagery. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

*Near tears* I don't know what to say Krissa... It was a beautiful poem... and you used space!!!!! Yay for space!!!! Thanks for writing this. It means a lot to me, a lot more than you will ever know. Only in my darkness can I truly see the light, and you are shinning extremely bright. Abe, you, and Steve have been my strength, even if you don't know it. Thank you so much. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |
