In a raven night sky Where fog nestles for measure Human thoughts flow through sleep Unlike things that have something in common Some repetitions of sadness Some which rhyme exactly Some in-between…. Some very confidential expressions, to say the least In this world of high school students Burning up important pages Performing like a fireflies Darting and dancing phases One speaker on my left The other on my right Forgetting images in-between Where breathe rolls out in lyrics They look at me, while I sit on the fence Thinking, wondering, writing poetry Air is filtered with good ideas Can you smell the trees? Explain their rings? Know their feelings? Hear their memories, their options? I’m still deeply in love with my losses Poignant cracking sidewalks Look up and smile While society’s to busy Trying desperately to remain heterosexual I don’t belong to a group I don’t want to limit myself Where does one fit in all of this? Well, simply, all I want is a real love, Even if it hurts… Not to align, but to understand anonymous Who seems so alone, over there “Hiya”, I wave There is connection to his approach “Guilty”, I yell, while he walks by Not having to explain myself He turns, looks back, smiles "Ahhh", I think, "he’s an artist!" He owns complete essays and a lion's heart He doesn’t look like a Ford or Carnegie….so…. In a raven night sky Where fog nestles for measure Human thoughts flow through sleep “Without you, will I ever know joy again”? I think He reaches up and catches my desire In the raven night sky He finds my thoughts Without once, stubbing his toe We were one, before we knew each other? Wed locked souls It's just that we were here once before and we came back? |

LeeJ., This is a special one...I'm glad you wrote it. It's not easy for me to share the innermost feelings without trying to cover them up behind metaphors or personification. I'm glad you wrote this as you did. Take care. Sadelite |

LeeJ "Where does one fit in all of this?" I understand the searching and the questioning. Your path is contemplative....therefore it is the right way. |

there's so many things in this write that hit home with me. like this: "I’m still deeply in love with my losses" and this:"I don’t belong to a group I don’t want to limit myself" and this: "all I want is a real love, Even if it hurts… Not to align, but to understand anonymous Who seems so alone, over there" and of course this: "We were one, before we knew each other?" Sense and sensitivity...on a much deeper level that I appreciate in life and poetry. Love, Reg |
