everything split your thoughts from me my love from you I, in ache wonder how to break your heart. Be gentle with your frivolty and break me on a whim I can't grasp. Love me in a tumble of words and stake your highest claim on my unsteady hope. You open finally and I close doors shutting slapping against an insistent wind and I am utterly sadly forlorn and roasting from the heat of someone elses love and the tender flavor you see in my eyes is not your own and I am a small part dying while another one lives on. ahhh...but give up on us if you will, you uttered while the sun peaked through the window of our last argument. and I resolved in my mind I already had and you, hearing the echo of that thought in my eyes danced painfully out of my heart free to roam the blue wonder of the search again. How can I tell you how much in thought of him I am? how can you not see it when my arms don't reach out anymore because you once scared my arms away scattered them with misunderstanding and unwillingness to remain open to the promises we made before God and a million hearts. What dreams do dance in my tired night but of lost love that haunts me and I have failed again ohhh..how I have failed and I am now the crumble stopped somewhere between the heaven and hell of ending and beginning. but don't stop, my tired words for this is the only reason I can go on these words that fight for me. these words that only love knows now. Don't you see, Sir, what you have done to my eyes by pushing me into a corner for so long? Do you not see the beauty before you enough to make me, a woman, feel. I need to be desired every moment filled to my brim with the complete essence of tenderness and unselfish light. I need to be looked on breathed on and drank. but don't you see what you have done to my eyes? I don't sparkle for you because you haven't polished me in so long. But, be careful, you.. for there is light breaking through your dust and I am not so wary of my shelves being spring cleaned anymore. Just a little warning that I don't love you anymore. Just a little confession I have to make for myself before I go on to the next poem the next love the next stage in my life. I don't love you anymore so why do I have to care so damn much now? I am many. |

I wonder about the time that you describe...it seems like you are at a fork in the road and you can still choose to love again or let go...and yet you are frustrated with the one you loved for not fully committing while they had the opportunity...and so you will probably want to go on and give someone else a chance...I think I just described my former position....James |

This is the question of the ages dear friend. Only you can answer it. I'm glad that I've been finding you, I've always loved your work. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
