Somewhere More Familiar ©2002 C.G. Ward the scrape of teeth over tongues of sorrow; we are wistful to believe our worlds collided in this time of fleeting joy. entwined, naked sweat: skin slicks memories while we speak of words as if the taste of sex could feed an army of fools. take me now, wandering across the string - stretching - between your smile and the roll of my eyes. clip a phrase and call it droll; we can balance desires over a distance that's never touched ground, if you blend chastity with breakfast and remind me to eat. our world isn't clean, it reeks of reality and the pressures of trying to find a place where we can slip a knuckle-hilt grip into the knot of hope. come tomorrow, I'll be clinging to this silence that buries a bone into the quickness of your breath.

You are quite talented Chris, I have read some of your other poems and I like the style that you have. I hope I can get my act together and be able to write as well as you and others that I have read since being at PIP. I enjoyed. caterina |

Kissy Face, ok, you know I think you are a phenomenal writer, but wow! you gave me chills here... "entwined, naked sweat: skin slicks memories while we speak of words as if the taste of sex could feed an army of fools. take me now, wandering across the string - stretching - between your smile and the roll of my eyes. clip a phrase and call it droll; we can balance desires over a distance that's never touched ground, if you blend chastity with breakfast and remind me to eat." (and I won't tell anyone I saw you rhyming just a bit  )  |

we can balance desires over a distance that's never touched ground, if you blend chastity with breakfast and remind me to eat. Chris, you have no idea how much I wish I could've written this. Ya know someday, I'm going to lie and say I knew ya when. And wish I had. I could've quoted the whole poem but finally after several reads, setled on what caught in my gut. |
