~ a year ago at this time...I posted this in Dark
a friendly moderator there at the time thought perhaps it could be constructed differently
to increase it's punch....I disagreed  
but through that disagreement... I met
the other half of my heart...
so this is an anniversary
and for it..I would like to repost this...
as it was proposed... by her
and as a thank-you to this poor tormented woman
who brought us together~

-----------------------------------------

They get confused and lost...
       I need heat for my 2,000 doors
1906 was my fault!
They get confused and lost in my 2,000 doors
seal it up!
2,000 doors
     and 13 is my secret
and...and the daisy is my secret..yes

  "these same thoughts people this little world"

The lights for them and
nowhere for the others
Must need lights for the nowhere...
seal it up!
     the 10,000 windows to see
          my 6 kitchens
the blue room for me.....
this is what I want done
  OH!
And 47 stairways... the medium told me so
.... to go round and around so they rest
You!
Don't look at me!

....but for the three that see me, I play my organ
this is what I want done
     Seal It Up!
The medium told me so in my blueroom
The 6 kitchens and 47 stairways...
you ring the bell at 2 and 12 and 13!
(I see you bathing)
only the finest for me
and for those killed by Winchester
Seen through 10,000 windows....
my child and my husband gone...
don't look at me!
13 is my heat...the medium told me so
      My child and my husband I see
in 47 fireplaces and 47 stairways
    The spider web
"wide unclasps the tables of their thoughts"

Black hand do not look at me!

7 and 11 and 47 fireplaces
The three that see me know 1906 was my fault
  10,000 windows confuse and lose the bad ones
              not my child and husband
  Haunted I am by 160 rooms...
I go round and around to please those killed by Winchester........ and 1906 was my fault!

6 kitchens for me...
and the spirits
13 baths to wash my sin of the web
the web
  the web
      the three that see me
Oh the pain!

the spirits that haunt me...
haunt the 13 baths
I hear you spirits!
I need you servants!
     more light...
I need you my child and husband
the pain...
     my secret
killed by Winchester rifles
     the web
160 rooms round and around
       (only the finest)
the pain!

      they rest
she rests......

    she rests

Well, of course I had to go and find the original
posting of this, and then I had to smile at the
coming together of two such beautiful people.

This is an incredible write, Brian, and yes...
a very appropriate post to mark this special day.
Thank you for sharing it again.

Happy Anniversary to you both...you're beautiful.

As always, always, ALWAYS you spoil me...

and yet you give me what I want just when I NEED it. (Who taught ya that stuff, anyhow?)

This is a precious gift, and you...

hmmm. well. I'll tell YOU privately.

(serenity learns discretion... )



love you

I've seen the house...
it's beyond description, but if a poet
COULD do it...

you did.

Well done...to both you, and your muse...

Brian,

I am totally out of the loop, but that is okay, I don't need to know anything except that you are happy.  Happy Anniversary!...

Now a few words about the poem...

It was astonishing!  It was as if they voice were in my head...what a master piece!! (as of right now I have not seen the first one as it isn't loading, oh but I will...have no doubt!)

Susan
