LET'S SAY SOMETHING

this pin in the inkblot
has my name, but your features.
i reach behind me to sing
and the noise that gathers
has no voice, other than
Sirens, breathing.
we lurch to the advance.
but we cascade to the low point
of why I love you....
then sink below -
Why, You might Love me ?
if you take into account
how many words
were spoken....
then you account
for the silence between
Prayers...
and the
Love we
choke
on ?
till we burst...
II
i was one of those things that had no hands.
then I loved " someone " and the moving dart
of rain came down to the center of my drooling loss-
where the heart of my campaign...
still had your name... and a headful of steam
for the Doldrums and the Illness
of loving completely.
III
Tomorrow is no curse
if I am finding you
at last
like a blind search.
the first thing
a revelation
that Life is
Real -and not
rehearsed
IV
and the next - thing
a simple clarity
that we
Are.
as you seek from a dream
that you kill. ~ to sustain
the very wants
that you
Will.
but you won't.
but you
want.

hey, August, I love this poem, read it a few times until it spoke, I'm too dumb to understand all that it's saying, but it has a healthy heartbeat and has something important to say; perhaps about 'obsession' or relationships in general....excellent poetry
Again, I absolutely LOVE this one!
Once again, having revisited this after some while, drew me to one possibility -
you just might have amazing vomit!
Which otherwise has never occurred anywhere in the universe. Ever.
Love to see the edited, finished piece....
N.
happy holidays and all the best to you and yours!
And again, reading this over and over, it brings me to tears. Every time. 'which accounts for the silence between prayers' is so wonderfully sad.
Amazing.
