"What a lovely surprise, to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be"...Ellen Burstyn has ancient history become a forgotten face? Eleuthera smiles through an open window Rain becomes free range For a stallion never to be tamed I’ve written calligraphy on cave walls Slept with stuffed animals Live on the fourth floor Wear a tank top and skivvies to bed Writing of passion and morning light There is no end to this expression Emotions detail every moment I wonder if I could give it up Avert my eyes unto someone Perhaps I’ve become to selfish Self imposed? Cause I love a nice warm laugh Dinners at yum yum’s Sometimes buttons misaligned My mannerisms collapse Reaching for that cigarette That offends No one Dreaming of water messaging my back Drinking a glass of wine before bed No more dirty underwear to pick up Or loosing parts of me to football There is peace and something is always better then nothing Yet the parking lots are full I now own 40 pairs of shoes I can be skinny or fat Wear my hair exactly as I am Stop at the deli after work Meet with friends spontaneously flirt Though, I miss bones and flesh A beating heart A touch that brings tears of joy to my soul But…but… But somehow, he was always unresponsive Play with my hand for a little while, then drop it Harder and colder the nights grew, with him He would act so unattentive I stood outside his building for years Now that memory has fallen asleep why, I no longer even know him? Ommission is the same as a lie it what I'd always try to tell him |

This little mirror made me shiver, and think some important thoughts on both sides of it. I'm glad I stopped here this morning! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

in the mornings I am a pen that some God uses to make the sky with graffiti in the evenigns I consider I am but a man with crayons and paper and the sky is outside and my words are but wax without God's breath your depth of thought is a bucket of vision with mirrors very much enjoy your art!!! |

If the person isn't the right one, being with someone is lonelier than being alone. *S* This touched me on many levels... wonderful write!! |

But somehow, he was always unresponsive Play with my hand for a little while, then drop it Harder and colder the nights grew, with him He would act so unattentive I stood outside his building for years LeeJ, when someone acts this way...... so unattentive that you feel that you are on the "outside" of him..... it would see to be better to be without him.
