man.. perhaps I can convince her to keep the kids for a week and do the same thing. That would be incredible. I would also pack my guitar. Wondrous, I tell you.
I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
a lot of these poems were written that week
it was such a healing time
it was near the field we used to camp every year with my school
but id not been for , about 14 years.
so to go back to same place- hardly anything had changed- same rivers, same streams, same rocks,
god it was beautiful
it was also fucking wet as it pissed down for 2 days solid and on the last day i was waterlogged in the tent- but ive found i can blank that part of the trip from memory most of the time!
Some people have to have the sultry evenings Cocktails in the blue, red and grey But I like every minute of the day.

I dare say that the rain was all a part of your cleansing.
I love extreme weather. You can usuall find me in the top of a tree shaking my fist to the storm and screaming profanities at the gods. Tornado or no.
Bring it on I say. Let's live while the living is good.
What the hell are we all doing being chained around other people's money and dreams? I could swear that these things were never included in the original definition of survival. Neither were they ever included in the original philosophy of life.
This manifest destiny bullshit is for the birds.

when birds flock to destiny the pecking order diminishes to just one.
and when they are full, and they are difficult to satiate, they stand around the remains of your freedom eyeing them, suspicious of any sort of movement, awaiting the moment that life may return from it's fleeing flight. You are the bait in this modern world of mechanical sight and where man's imitations of nature are vinyl, polystyrene, and tupperware.
the natural cozy is gone. the lightning captured in a cup. no force greater than the push of the air in a subway tunnel, cannonball ejection the only chance for survival.
and if you hit the moon? what then?
I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
Hey master of all evenings sultry, it appears that I scared people off your thread, and for that I heartily apoligize. So I'll take that thought and put it elsewhere.
I do want it known that I really respect your work, however. AND ALL YOU MOTHER'F'erS OUT THERE WHO READ AND DON'T REPLY lol FREAKING REPLY ALREADY. There is nothing to be afraid of. Hell we risk an awful lot just by posting here.
Sultry is a hero for the cause
I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
my most humbled thanks Seta.
Im in a dark mood this morning
so i believe its time for this one
and as Seta said- Reply - rip it to pieces if desired or compliment
you cant be neutral on a moving train after all
Windswept
it;s BACK
full strength again
the fear
i've studied and conversed
and analyzed and held council with it
but what is this fear of,
tiny shadows ask?
the fear is of my fear
a fear now that the fear will never go
it rolls on and gathers force
and strikes me
beats my head.
standing in the eye of a hurricane
a few small breaths of distance
between the calm of my body
and the absolute terror that squalls on.
in this eye I balance on spiderweb edges.
the storm had passed some three weeks now,
it never left, in my minds' eye it lingered,
a shadowed horizon,
but I was feeling safe.
I thought I was winning.
Now its returned,
stonger than ever
whips my face
windswept blood and tears
threatens to tear me apart.
Close that damm door
thats not MY escape!
it strikes
when it likes, no warning
free fall, rapid descent
eyes cloud, tears choke
it can happen anywhere
Anytime
Dark wind screaming,
call of fear and lonliness.
How can you overcome fear
when the fear is what your afraid of?
like placing a mirror in front of another
and yourself in between
repeated to infinity.
a viscous circle, endless
this is how MY fear grows.
couldn't rise from bed this morning
two hours awake clock staring
can't go
can't leave bed
can't leave house
this world right now
Help me
Anyone I love, please take my hand
and hold me still
hold me till my fit passes
the heels are itching again
run
run
run
RUN AWAY!!!
run where?
and after all,
it's me I'd be running from
and when I stop, I'd be there waiting
DAMM YOU FEAR
I'm tired of Running
Come Out and Fight!
I will defeat you
You will not win over me.

Sultry, I had to fight those feelings for a couple days after getting fired... it came on the heels of our decision to get a divorce and a great many other issues that all coalesced into one black syrupy molasses mess that threatened to drown me standing up.
So I understand, or at least empathize.
I like the whole thing until the very last bit. It's such an about face that I had to sit back a bit, but now I realize it's quite human. I'm sorry it took me so damn long to post on it! LOVE YA!

Heres a new one
its written for my daughter.
We dont live together anymore so i wrote this for her to keep by her. Maybe one day she'll understand it.
Darling Daughter, child of the earth.
Oh Fern
I long for the day I show such wonder to you,
In time I pray you understand my heart
for I could explain the world to you
but all I am certain of is this.
The heart is a fickle thing and the world can be full of hurt
but search within yourself and the heart can be captured
and reigned , if desired.
Look outside yourself
and the world can still be full of wonder, splendour and love
Trust those friends that you feel
you can offer your heart to,
and , if true,
they'll offer theirs in return.
Know I'll allways love you
and will explain away the injustices of today
with a promise of a brighter tomorrow.
My sweet innocent
Child of Earth,
Fern.

I will someday have to explain all of what is going on to my children as well as their mother and I irrevocably split ways. They will not understand why two people cannot love another anymore.
I have far too much bitterness at the fickle heart and, moreso, at the fickle whims of the body.
I know of what you mean when you speak to your daughter. I sincerely hope the gods will assist us with the ability to communicate ourselves and our minds to our progeny when the time comes to do so.
And the fact that the time may in fact be the present has not escaped me.
Good to see you back, sorry I'm in such a horrid mood.

Bob played the blues
and we sat and got wasted
5ft away from Baby Blue
2 hours later it was all over
never thought the day would come
" How does it feel" he sang
like a parade from here
So I sat and got wasted time and again
so im driving
and the skys as red as my face the day SHE told me "its over"
but its good and the storm is attacking the car
but im here and I'm warm and she's too.
Ryan went crazy
48 hours later
blowin and puffin his harp
On the plane far away
the moon was so bright
im sure he's trying to keep me awake
rested head on the window
but frost kept it cool
no space for my ecomomy legs
do 1st class grow limbs that are doubled in size?
too much wine
to allow me to drive
so walked on the edge of the cliff
she said I love you
and I said I do too
but did I mean it
I really don't know
After the party i fell down a hole
same hole as I fell down before
. they all fucking laughed
and I howled too,
as soon as I got off the floor.
For a bottle of wine or three or four
and a weekend I want to repeat
I'd give it all up to do it all over and over again.

I am yin he is yang and together we're both suburbanites trying to be chinese taoists....
In agreeance with pimpmasterdaddio seta, though. after the line "this is how my fear grows" I didn't get anything new from it.
In fact, Flock of Seagulls entered my head when you're running.
And I ran
I ran so far away
And I ran
I ran all night and day
Couldn't get away
