momma got me a rockin' horse
made from slippery elm
and painted with lotion
from the cravin' tree

made me do my boy time
in the saddle swallow
with my hands tied often
in the gallop place giddy up

momma said I was bad skin
from the storms she knew
when she was runnin from jesus
in her bentley car bedroom

said there were demons too
in my eyes when I smiled
said they made her love me
more than her needle high gravy

she spoke me as bone of daddy sin

your writing always
makes me think too much
especially at this
Godforsaken hour of the morning
so I always read them
and rarely comment 'cause
I can't think of anything
vaguely intelligent to say

but this, I love
and relate to
*smiles*

You are terribly talented

love your writing and the images they present....hugsss you...

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding

You got me with the personal poignant of this, my friend...that's why I think it's one of your best.

makes me love ya more to...

this was incredible...and a man walking side by side with my concept, that even more smiles me, as you would say.

This has got to be the coolest poem I've read all year of this '06. Bravo maestro.

I'm not smart, I'm just a tricky dumb person.

Who wouldn't love a boy with
demons in his eyes. You always
amaze me Stranger.

Sheli's right.. you're
very talented.

dear friend, talented you are, and much, much more...

you do have a way about you, yes you do..

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

my daddy said I was born under the sign of the happy wanderer;
mother said I was born holding a sign that spelled trouble
lol, maybe they were both right
and you...
DS, were born under the sign of love
with the gift of knowing
how to make others FEEL
'neath visible skin
