2003-11-12 18:35:04 ET Read if you want... I don't really care. I wrote three yesterday and two today. Good lord am I inspired. I'm spreading all of them around on the web. They'll all find their way to my Poetry site sometime. "In the Shadows of the Sun" Under this dark tapestry of thoughts and words to say Stuck in this gross travesty Seeking to hide Something lost in this helpless gaze And I'm yours... so yours So I guess the question now is how? How do you look through me? How do you see me true? My structure is open and bare to the wind Sway me back and forth bringing me all the closer to breaking But the point has not been met Not been tested Never been seen All the while It looms ahead of me So sleep close, sleep tight tied to my heart If it's parting you want Then you will take part of me along for the ride Rough as it may seem and still smooth to the touch And it's quite apparent as you raise your finger in the air Picture me there, here and everywhere With a slight touch to my forehead we are alone And I am no more by myself with my sorrow on a plate Serving it on a bed of compassionate hate And every which way it'll taste all the better Fueling appetites and leaving it empty and broken ...No more And it's good now So good I cannot catch up with my smile It runs ahead hoping to win the race But still my mind doubts the faster And if it's love you want Then I am the vessel Because I cannot stop from pouring myself dry ...empty just never crossed my mind |
