red flags are going up
everywhere
still
I keep crossing the lines

I suppose
I like the pain
of playing with fire
and ignoring the signs

jumping over hot coals
of chaos
barefoot
diving in riptides

laying
somewhere in between
where
rebellion collides

head-on
with morals
and that
is where I live

that is where
I am alive
where I smile
when you can't forgive

and life goes on
for both of us
how sad
there's no "we"

I am breathing
air of you
thinning
yet I cannot see

to ever
agree

that I needed you
like you needed me.

I love your writing.  It is interesting and it changes .. but it always intrigues me.  You have me captured with your words -- and I like it.

Alison, thank you. This is an old poem. More and more I find I am posting old ones just to be able to have something for others to read. Maybe I'll get rid of this writer's block soon.

Eddie, good to see you my friend. Thanks for stopping by!

"I am breathing
air of you
thinning"

great lines Dixie
writer's block is rough
but it does finally go away
in the meantime
I enjoyed this poem...
