I have had a lot of major problems in my life lately and this is one of the huge ones. I am trying to put it on paper as best I can but it will never be the same. everynight before dawn breaks inside of my haunting dreams smiles reflect upon a mirror names echo off the lifeless walls flickering lights come upon awake again just another day until i see your smile again mind lingers the beatiful dreams my body shakes as hot water engulfs tiny vibrations flow through my veins in my mind goes over and over the words i have rehearsed so many times i want to talk to you saying that to myself easily imagining pulling you aside whispering softly into your ear yet as i brush my soft hair i shake uncontrolled breaking down in the floor crying sobs of silvery pearls i close my eyes and cry softly with only you to comfort me a smile escapes from my lips couldn't i help with your face in mind yet i cry tears dropping to the floor my tortured soul out of control i pull myself together ever so slightly always lingering behind the tears are my feelings for you To the world you maybe a person, but to a person you maybe the world [This message has been edited by Riley (08-23-2002 06:48 PM).] |

I've never been too good at helping people feel better when they've got heavy emotional distress, but that's not stopping me from replying..so yeah...maybe it's the mood I'm in, but I know it'd be impossible to look at this piece from a cold, non-personal perspective...and for that, your success as a poet, I respect you, Riley. I hope (and know) things get better. ~Carly "Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions." |

quote: I thought this was an excellent stanza! The simple everday act of brushing hair, combined with that last line really made it stand out. I felt like I had been through this whole poem myself, which I have. Very powerful and expressive piece, Riley. And good luck.  ~Beth P.S. I got your email. Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |
