something for sherri ------------------ [6/12/02] i found you misplaced inside my wallet the other day--underneath old concert tickets and undialed phone numbers .. you were so pretty in 1999, back when you loved your boyfriend and polaroids of bestfriends had value, in red rocket summers when nothing seem to matter and on those coldest of november nights you were so depressed confined in compartments inside broken apartments scraped hours with sadistic emo songs .. posing in front of brink disasters and depended on cheap dreams to pass the time because you said you weren't brave enough for the world outside raindressed windows, where superheroes were unreachable in a place where you were so alone--because nobody seemed to care .. but i heard you were doing okay these days .. .. polishing rough edges across those conquered ledges and along every better day, you drift away--into memories and i'm missing you in pictures where youre smiling in beautiful imperfections screaming photographic misconceptions of a past i misplaced in wallets--underneath old concert tickets, undialed phone numbers and things i never meant to take for granted .. ------------------------------------------- "and i don't want the world to see me because i don't think theyd understand when everything's meant to be broken i just want you to know who i am" [goo goo dolls] ------------------------------------------- [This message has been edited by christian (03-28-2003 02:00 PM).] |

When I took off my rose-tinted glasses, I was able to appreciate the sepia tones of this somewhat wistful and nostalgic write... Warm hugs, EA |

Much enjoyed the nostalgic touch. ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

and along every better day, you drift away--into memories and i'm missing you in pictures where youre smiling in beautiful imperfections screaming photographic misconceptions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ although I hate to admit, this actually brought tears....memories. Man, if only we could bring back the memories.... Chris, I love reading your poetry. You definitely have my vote.

 (sigh) What I really love so much about your poetry is how you are able to captivate time and space so effectively, I think ever so much we take special memories for granted even when we don't mean to, that is when I feel this guilt I decide to always make a phone call to my friends like my hero Mr. Ernewein, my sophomore English teacher who encouraged me to start writing and my close friend Ms. Doyle, who got my musical passion going and I took her to the Shakira concert as a gift of appreciation! (sigh) This is fabulous, I most graciously offer you my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Christian, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Christian, there will need to be a few edits, but the gist of this is THERE...valid, and honest... and true. You, Sir...have a potent magic that not many of us have...you don't have to reach far... you only have to believe. |

I agree with Sunshine, a few nips and tucks, and then this thing can go out into the Botox-disenhanced world. This is a sentimental write, and a special one. |
