the need
5.8.05
give up
let go
shake subtle inside
hiding behind
broken lives
take in
give out
and ever after
i'll be alone
never lonely
still floating
hold on
try harder
keep the facade
glued together
and nobody knows
you passed on
walked away
give up
move on
i had a love
and I let it be
it never came back
and in fleeting moments
I feel alone
cry on
look out
a bitter soul casts shadows
and love is a light
burned into memory
sing your song for me
amd i will sing along
love will go on
even as we
give out
let go
become
prayers for rain
3.8.05
I talk in rivers
nothing languid or encompassing
never taking you in and under
with warm fluidity
the current is coarse
and the undertow deafening
speeding to shore
barely wetting the feet
I talk in puddles
reflecting the oily glow
of oil slicked rainbows
and sliding down below
dispersed by tires
thrown to the concrete form
dribbling together peices
of some sort of rapt meaning
I talk in mists
conquer the landscape
shrouding the world
with marginalized verbosity
tendrils of insight
pulling out all the stops
waiting to dissapate
under the heat of a look
I talk in rivers
running with the feet of theives
babbling in ancient runes
bathing bodies like yours
in rushing urgency
within the deep waters
hide the truth unheard
heating the uncharted depths.
