Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

0 posted 2008-08-05 01:25 AM


Yet, the rain still falls amid fall colors already dim.
And I?  I am the type who types poetry at dusk
wrapping thoughts in decorative words, tied with images.
Solitude, so sweet, silently washes away day noises.

And, yet the rain still drops slowly upon my window pane.
Crystalline drops mimicking tears disguising pain unseen;
but no pain resides now in the dreams born of my mind.
A lifetime of healing drifts amid poems written at dusk.

Once, you held me captive, tied by your twisted thoughts.
I was captivated by your desire to mold me.
Your fingers smoothed me like pliable clay statues, formless
while I continued to break the mold of your fantasy.  

Now, I am strong, unbroken, holding you ever captive;
you are woven in a spider web of my poetic words.

Dear Alison, this is a special poem..

A lifetime of healing drifts amid poems written at dusk.

For some reason, that's my favorite line

Well done, little shining star
