My brow furrowed into fifteen folds of skin. My pen tap-tap-tapping on the top of my paper ~so far the splatters left are all I have written. I cannot write just anything! I WILL not write just anything for I do not want him to say just anything. My appetite is not sated by just a few words. I would have him put twice as many spaces inbetween so I might pretend it is more than it is... A poet is like a painter. My tongue be my brush and I stroke sighs all through my paper. But I lack the illustration to portray my heart's privation. Though I write this for you, you'll write something better and leave me burning in the dust of new. The last few remnants of my page will be left lowering through the atmosphere of my brain, dissapating and falling apart, leaving ashes floating in each new layer of heart. Still, I'll give this to you and hopefully, you'll give me all I ask in return. Nothing and everything... just a few words from James...

Interesting read. I have done the tap-tap-tapping...and click, click, clicking, as well. I think you did more than leave just...a few words. You left behind some thought. |

Krissie, I suppose you tap, tap tapped this out online to James in the wee morning hours? (on CA. coast it was) Such talent you have. I'm impressed! Let me say my appetite for your poetry is not sated because of you posting so little. I know why and soon I hope you shall be able to start posting more. Take care of yourself....you are always in my heart and my prayers. Lots of Hugs to you, Love Ya, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
