The First
February 19, 2004

transient shock felled my fingertips
limp before the granular landscape

a pieslice panoramic
low resolution snapshot
of a place inside her i'd never seen

a subtle cove i'd never mused
nor wished for
nor written poetry about
as i'd done for all others

this most sacred place tucked warmly away
deeper than i’d hoped to know
cradles life so new, so pure --

may she paint all the world
with the magic her keeper once showed to me

    Nice, Cran! Very nice! Good to see some fresh lines from you, my friend! :)

  • All it takes is a little inspiration.

    Life is full of things to inspire.

    Found one last night. :)

    i really like that one cmr.

    especially the last two lines.
  • It sucks that I find this person so incredibly amazing and unlike anyone I've ever met... cuz it hurts my g/f... she doesn't understand that it has nothing to do with romance or love or competition. :(

    :( You always say how much you love your girl! I know you love your girl! She's a lucky girl and an awesome girl and maybe she's just a little young yet to have let go of all of her self-concious worries and doubts like that. Don't be too hard on her!

    Is this amazing person really worth hurting your g/f for?

  • I talk to this chica every now and again... and all it is that intrigues me is the way her mind works. It's different than anything I've ever known. She has this incredible way of seeing things.

    But that's it, really. She's definitely not worth hurting my g/f over, but at the same time, I just wish my g/f could understand.

    I think she could... she feels similar things (as far as I can tell) for a guy friend of hers. Guess it's ok, though, since he's gay.

    See, the thing is, it shouldn't matter if a person is gay or straight or purple or green or male or female or a mix of the two...if you share a friendship, it shouldn't matter! And, a friendship between yourself and another female or between your gilrfriend and another male should not be a cause for stress in your relationship but, sometimes, people let their jealous nature get the best of them. It's only human.

    Talk to your girl, Cran, maybe, in time, she'll understand. Or, maybe you'll just have to ask your friend to understand that your friendship is putting a strain on your relationship and you have to take a break.

    A jealous nature IS human. I find however, that the way ppl express it to their mate is in being angry and/or insecure, thereby causing defensiveness, instead of just intellectually understanding it and asking the mate to do the same. I believe, that if our mates understood that "hey, it just makes me uncomforable, nothing against you, honest", then the offending opposite-gendered-friend-haver would want to quell that beast in some way.

    Cran, what I see is an intellectual interest in somebody other than your current g/f, with underpinnings of other interests (thus the new poetry). My thinking in that is you should find out more about this person and just "see"... you know?

    Ain't nothing wrong in that as you are but a wee babe and you would want to set yourself up with something that has staying power... maybe, shoot, maybe not :) who knows :):):)

  • Thanks for the input, ladies.

    This girl and I had something weird going on a while back. So I already know there's nothing there to "see"... She's very securely tucked away in the "admiration and nothing more" corner of my museum.

    We'll talk... me and my girl... just so I can try to set her mind at ease.
