From a cradle to a casket

0 posted 2004-10-17 12:50 PM

I want everything I say to ring true to someone.

I want the one person to hear it who honestly needs it.

I want to write poetry that isn't so cynical or morbid or just plain sad.

I want to get done with a night of observing heavy drinking and not feel empty.

I want to celebrate.

Celebrate.

I want my birthday back.

I want to wipe that smile off your "cool" face and help you realize you are more lost than I will ever be.

===

I sometimes feel like I deserve better than I have.
I get excited over stupid little things that shouldn't phase me.

I sometimes like to prove to myself I can get places.
But I always regret actually proving myself right.

I want to buy a house with him somewhere quiet and sip coffee in the mornings.

I want us to read the newspaper and remark on politics and local events.

I want to go to the nearest garden store and pick out something to plant that would accent everything so well.

I want to get buckets and blankets and cool wet wash cloths when you can't lift your head.

I want to play games when it rains that never get finished and always end in the bedroom.

I want a well lit room I can read in. I want a crackling fire to be lit when it's too cold to go outside for long.

As we hurry with slippered feet to check the mail.

I want to be in the country right by the city so the commute takes me past everything pretty, leading me to that cool blue black steel of the city.

and I want things to change.

I want fights to lead to agreements and flowers and rough make up sex.

I want everything to go so wrong but never feel like the end.

I want your fingers to work the back of my neck when the day I spent writing has left it all crooked.

I want you to brag about me to your friends, or sit quietly where ever you end up and sigh with smiles about the poetry I secretly stashed in your purse.

I want you arms and legs to wrap around me in some jumble of affection.

I want to be knocked over by some sort of hurricane of emotion.

I don't want to hide myself. I don't want to sit around and pretend nothing is wrong.

I believe that lovers should be tied together and thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather and left there to drownin their innocence

I liked this but at the same time wondered why I liked it. It is inspirational but the style just doesnt sit right with me.

Altogether a great piece.
