YOU---YES YOU,
you must like this
this simple verse
of judas kiss
all I ask is
friend's free hand--
you act as if
no understand...

I think that you
have made it plain...
you are the shallow
walk be'twain
the gallows
and the narrow plank
the same tight walk
that made love rank...

YOU...all that I
would avoid
came wrapped with bow
and celluloid--
but yet I know
beneath the wrap,
I hear the wail
within the trap,
for all my knowing,
I will pay--and
gladly live
another day...

Victim? No.
I will not be.

The corpse of what
you cannot see...

Gladly now, I decompose...
the stuff that makes
the red rose grow...

Now if that doesn't fertilize the frozen
ground then nothing will.  Excellent penning
my friend.  But of course you knew that.  Remind me not to ever come to you with my thorns showing.

"Victim? No.
I will not be."

You've made it plain
all should understand.

Ooh, I like this fire and anger, you tell him!
Besides that, it's a great poem.

Serene remind me to hide the daggers. Wouldn't want to be at the end of your rage.
Nice job

There's  a  rose
that  blooms  in  twilight
and  it's  wonderful  to  see

It  can  live  for  many  years
even  though
it's  sprayed  with  tears

In  a  rock  garden  memory

great lines....

"Gladly now, I decompose...
the stuff that makes
the red rose grow."

yeah, sometimes it's the silt and manure that help grow the best crops.... it's a wonder i'm not the garden of eden yet... lol.... hey! maybe one day, huh? at this rate, we'll both have our own gardens of eden....

this poem ROCKS! love the angst! hehe ((hugs))

and btw, it reminds me of beethoven.... you know what he's doing right now???


(decomposing).... *wink*

later, me e-friend
