where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2005-05-24 03:25 AM



I have found most blessings
can be avoided, if destiny overlooks them.
Situations arise like an insatiable fog,
where passing through them is the only way
to put them behind us.

Mistakes are when
your eyes shift in my direction,
and all I feel is guilt,
I'd almost forgotten
what blame feels like.

I am
a well conditioned excuse,
or an unwanted obligation,
I am not human.

Anger is heat and
sweltering discomfort that
resembles a pitiful embrace,
that without reason,
defies all logic.

This is not a dream,
in my most insane moments
I am disgusted by my honesty,
I wish this away,
so that I might feel....

Joy is like my
backseat in the dark
watching stars melt in the sky..
Tracing the wind
with my fingertips, and all I can think about
is how you made me feel.

But I am so soon reminded
of how solitary and involuntary
laughter
can be, so we are
stuck...in such lonesome despair...

..it's a prison that watches us descend
below and beyond all sanity, leaving us with
cryptic messages to decode..and hoping
in silence
that we crack like useless mirrors..

Although,
it is all really a reflection
of what it feels like to die.

I think everything is that, megs.

Death and regeneration.

We only grapple like jugglers, to explain the differences, we keep the answers in the air.

'where passing through them is the only way
to put them behind us."

and sometimes that is what we need to do...noting of course how we do it and why.

Excellent poem.  It left me sad, and tired of what happens between people.

Megs, your writing is amazingly powerful

and brutely honest...and yet, like anyone who self examines, tends to over self persecute...you made a mistake, and yet, know the pain of this you speak of...it is when we realize, the hurt we've caused others, and it is then, I think God smiles down on us the most, for realizing our injury to others...and trying to better those moments, soften the blows, as we sometimes hurt so badly

I often wondered why some bad parts of life hurt so much, and no answers could I find, until I realized how wonderful the "good" feels when it comes

Fantastic writing but a sad one.

where passing through them is the only way
to put them behind us.

"stepping through the shadow, coming out the other side..stepping through the shadow 46 & 2 just ahead of me"

life is nothing but tests, and i'm failing miserably..but

"i must keep reminding myself of this..."

That just spoke to me.  

Thank you for making me think
