GRACELESS REMEDY I work each day till I am numb, Till to dark silence I succumb. But there you are, even in dream To rob me of my self-esteem. I could reach heights unknown to man. Would much rather be doing that than Sitting here alone, dwelling on you. But what more would you have me do? I still see eyes that turn from me. Hear velvet lies spoke easily Within the ancient scrolls of rhyme That haunt me now - will for all time. As weary Love is wrenched away, Forever sold out on a day Of carnal desire's well laid trap. Reality branded with a slap. To kiss a lover's cheek, still bruised, My dearest friend I stand confused; For is not friendship based on trust And not on dreams sifted like dust? Don't need answers, I need a cure! How much of this can one endure? I drink each night until I drop And still the dreams - they never stop! I live by night, I sleep by day, But still hear words you never say. Words ringing like a phonograph Skipping on a sarcastic laugh. Running a cold chill up my spine In awe of love - pristine, divine. All the things I could never be, Hope still dangles in front of me. A vision catered to the tragic The trickery of mystic magic. In letting go of all I love, What's left to be thinking of? Still I wouldn't care what you thought of me, If they'd just perform the lobotomy. Of all the graceless remedies, But one will work, scalpel please! Michael Anderson 'Tis true, Love lasts forever, Only her memory slips away. |

Words ringing like a phonograph Skipping on a sarcastic laugh. Running a cold chill up my spine In awe of love - pristine, divine. All the things I could never be, Hope still dangles in front of me." this one keeps me in my constant state of AWE -- of you. I love the poems emotions and the "dark" humor at the end...sarcasticly poetic. thank you, for all you words of encouragement of my work in here...it means a lot to me....knowing you both relate and understand. take care, janet marie ...there are places inside all our souls... that have never been touched... there are places inside our hearts... that need to be loved this much... Janet Marie *I miss you baby... I love you, always.* |

Michael even though you are so sad, it is nice to see a little sense of humour at the end. *HUGS* May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

This is excellent Michael....you've done a wonderful job here. It would be nice if it were just as simple as having a minor operation to forget the pain, but unfortunately... |

~Michael No words I could say would do this piece of work justice! So I will simply say this not only touched my heart and soul, but my mind as well. Thank you! You write with such sadness and longing. Always know you are in my thoughts and prayers... "the lord doesn't give us to large of a load for us to bare" I don't know if I really believe that quote, however I do hope things get better for you! In awe of you respectfully yours, amy  ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |
