Write Me

Take your pencil
and write me
my life
put all the pain
and pleasure
into words
so that I can
read me
pull out the notepad
of my memories
and share them with me
dotting all the i's
and crossing all the t's
making some kind of sense
of all these feelings
write me
the happiness
the basis of human existence
in neat paragraphs
with proper punctuation
so that I can feel it
see it
read it

write me.


Robert

if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming.

No, no, its too painful to read oneself on paper, Robert.

No one knows you like you -
unraveling threads
in silky chords
of memories,
the secrets squired
in tiny boxes
stored away,
stored away,
the mysteries of a man,
the loves,
the loves lost
and gained.

perhaps they couldn't write you as accurately as you might like them to....but they might have a whole nuther slant on you that you never saw.
