    What else can I write?
    I don't have the right?

    I feel All Apologies for sqeaking past this thread, itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow, poke-a-dot coleeny.

    You've been so kind and encouraging with all your, well, kind encouragements, and here you go peomizing and I missed out. :(
    Stupid short attention span. If a post has more than two pages to it, I usually skip it. Super sorry with a bottle of boogers on top.

    Hey, it's me. You weren't expecting something lemon-fresh, take-home-to-mother, did you?

    ps You wow!
    And how!

    That under that breast and brain there lay a prose mistress of epic proportions.

    YES!

    Coleen is sexy AND semantic all at the same time.


    Goulet is correct. You had better post more. It is now a requirement.

    Much love,

    seta
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

    its not as bad as all this really - i'm just desperate and bored in this cubicle wasteland...but in my mind i'm free :)


    silly little metaphysical me
    stifled by three and a half prefab fabric walls
    minding the time while it exists on my wrist - plodding tediously on
    finally to find that the magic hour arrives just in time to road rage blaze a manic pathway home

    shelter me in my white-walled chamber
    to fasten my focus on the telehypnotic waves
    with big brother eyes trained on the live as it late-breaking happens
    filling with every sight, sound, image
    filling up as full as the bloated landfills with my
    empty plastic nothing soul.

    see what happens when you write...it turns out full of real live chunky real life and that's always the best stuff...
    but still if you quit your job you can play tamborine in my band...

    now that sounds like something i'd be much better suited to....me and my tamborine.

    i'm leaving now - not sure which direction i should be heading but i'll try west eventually i'll find you. wait for me?
  • GouletGoulet Posts: 918
    maybe by the time you're hear my "band" will have more people in it then myself and everything will make much more sense...
    and be sure to head west until you hit chicago and then stop right there
  • coleencoleen Posts: 938
    maybe your band really only needs you in order to make sense.

    but i'll start heading west to chicago and i'll be sure to stop right there. and thats lucky for me because i've been there before so maybe the finding you will be a little less confusing.

    it'll be like hide and seek, but with more sexual tension...

    and why is it so dead in the poetry hut today,
    its like everyone vanished
    or got a little bored

    it is very quiet in the poetry corner today.

    i'm sure it will be bubbling over with excitment tomorrow and i'll miss all the fun. but i guess that leaves me loads to catch up on when i get back.

    radar i would gladly bring something back for you - but i doubt you'd want something from the hospital. its mostly icky stuff they have there.

    All the better.

    Why are you hospitaled? Are you pregnant? Is it mine or Goulet's? Perhaps even Gita's........

    wait, did i miss something?
  • coleencoleen Posts: 938
    poor goulet and gita, sullying their good names with imlications that they sired my child. that would make for pretty intriguing poetry on the forum wouldn't it? but if i'm pregnant than i must have missed out on something as well.

    in all seriousness though, it isn't anything interesting or dramatic and not very much fun. i'll try to find something to bring back to for you radar. ;)
  • Sorry for poking and prying and prodding and turning my head and coughing.

    Maybe you could snag me one of those dressing gowns that doen't quite cover your tush all the way. Better yet, the only thing I want back is you. :)

    I feel so ooshy for saying that.
  • coleencoleen Posts: 938
    poke and pry to your hearts content - no harm done.

    i will do my best to liberate a gown for the ooshiest gooshiest boy around. ;)
  • coleencoleen Posts: 938
    a special thank you to my editor ;)


    i smiled into your eyes last night
    placed my head upon your chest
    i breathed the breath you gave to me
    then laid my soul to rest

    your heart sang me a lullabye
    your words - a starlight gleam
    i'll never wish to wake from you
    perhaps, my sweetest dream
  • GouletGoulet Posts: 918
    i want more
    i want more water
    i want some water
    my throat's dry
    and i'm old
    and wrinkled
    and my hands hurt
    i want more poetry
  • coleencoleen Posts: 938
    being of water you crave more water.
    the ebb and the flow drifting forever past
    your lips, over your tongue, caressing your throat
    and i am only air composed in part by mere droplets of moisture
    which i will absorb,
    which i have synthesized momentarily
    in hopes of quenching your thirst
    but i wonder would it be enough?
    i would wring myself dry for you
    until my mouth is dry,
    until my eyes are dry,
    until my heart is dry,
    and i would rain down gently over you if you wanted me to.

    you are fluid and you are form
    and i am scattered and invisible.
    you are heart and i am mind.
    you are touchable, kissable, warm, soft flesh
    i am simply intangible, malleable, ideals and abstracts.
    you are part mars, part pluto - the passion and power
    i am just venus - love and harmony
    you live in the eighth house and i in the seventh
    and they are close,
    so close - sex and partnership
    so close they are almost just touching
    and always if they choose to they can feel the electricity of their proximity

    you who are of water - are the ocean
    i am of the air
    and given the chance i might be your......
    we'd make a mysterious pair you and i
    but which two are more suited to each other than the ocean and the sky?

    when they look at you, they see your beautiful blue
    they stand on the shore remaining just beyond your reach
    and they recognize your strength
    but they are content to be hypnotized by your surface
    and they resist ever so subtly the pull of your tide
    they are drawn to you by their lust
    but in the end they stand on the beach
    and maybe they stick their big toe in you
    or wade up to their middles in you
    and its at that point they begin to register
    just how far they are outside of their depth
    and the gravity you possess
    that's when it begins, either they retreat or you retreat
    leaving nothing but your waters swirling around their ankles and kissing their toes

    but i the infinite sky, know better
    your surface emanates your beauty and your strength
    and the tide upon the shoreline carries in it a whisper of the beating of your boundless heart
    your emotions run every bit as deep as the immeasurable bottoms of the ocean
    and the secret that exists at the core of you
    is a universe unto itself
    its the place where you create and destroy
    where you live and you die and are reborn
    and you dream and you hope to one day make your inner world a reality

    and being of the air and of the abstracts
    this is where i see you most clearly
    though you don't see me swirling above you and
    gathering your dreams to myself
    but when you are churning and swelling
    with despair or desire
    those are the moments that i absorb you
    and your heart and my thoughts become one
    it is then that i open myself and rain down with kisses
    and caresses
    and hum sweet and low until you are drifting and dancing with your dreams
    that is as intimate as you and i will ever be

    but sometimes when i look off into the horizon
    i see the one place where we sometimes meet
    and it gets me to thinking of how it could be
    we could love like a tempest
    wrap our selves in and out and around and through one another
    with no regard to anyone or anything else around us
    we could tear down our old lives and moan and twist until we've exhausted ourselves and each other
    it scares me to think of the damage we'd do.
    its only then that i remember we can transcend all of the destruction
    and maybe find a little taste of redemption together
  • Maybe one day it will happen.
    It's 2006!?!? Damn I'm old.

    thank you netters :)

    i'm not sure which made me smile more - your kind words or the fact that you very first post is on this thread.

    in any case i appreciate you taking the time to read it and also for your kindness.

    and i'm pretty hopeful that one day it will happen. ;)

    no its not craziness at all, its poetry in the pure form,
    or rather "emotion" in the pure form,
    whatever that means,
    and you got it sister,
    you got it.
  • coleencoleen Posts: 938
    thank you :)

    but i'd much rather read one of your poems.

    didn't a week of unencumbered hedonism shake loose even a little poem from you?
