this space
round my waist
has a vacancy
now
the time
is mine
alone
to roam the landscapes
of my mind
w/out
a safety line
to
stand
in the rain
baptized
tears streaming
body leaning
into the invisible arms of
destiny
warming me
warning me
against
over analytical inventions
post hypnotic suggestions
i will not harken to
i will not weaken to
i will not succumb to
becoming numb
I THRIVE
on being
alive
FEELING
thru these
memories
they are
a part of me now
Zen to me now
i wish
i could
show u how
not to
tuck them away
into ure secret place
where the echoes go
don't
hide them away
where the bruises go
deep inside
where the darkness contorts
the 'now'
with
the 'long ago'
i know
i made u go there
i know
i made u show where
u still
bleed
eternally
i broke ure laws
against digging deep
i made u raw
& made u steep
in
endless talks
&
passionate chances
&
blissful nites
&
fevered glances
&
wishes
that u never touched me
at all
i fall
our electricity spent
intentions well meant
wondering where
all the time went
i lie
dazed
by the collision
&
somehow
have risen
scarcely
strong enuff
to kiss
u
goodbye
