what was it
you wanted to say
not just that you are
lonely and longing
you wanted to say
something else
i could go on guessing
but i have to stop that
because then i fill
my own head
with my own thoughts
when they have not really
come from you
or have they?
i want the flow
i want the connection
but when it hurts
i have to hide

what was it
you wanted to tell
not only that you
miss the intoxicating kiss
or the pungent love
something more
it is just knowing
that someone is there
somewhere up here
feeling your arms
running up and down
and fingers in hair
wondering what is next
do the thoughts
emanate from you?
i want to know
for sure
and you me

what will it be
the clouds or the abyss
the knife or the kiss
now that you have
what you think you want
how you have planned
and arranged it all
sit back and wonder
or take action and live
stop drowning yourself
looking for the kick
sometimes it is only
being able to speak
in calm tones
that we find peace
forget about the fuck
forget about the deals
think of your heart

what did you say
you can't feel anymore
you're numb to it all
because it repeats so much
all the same bullshit
day after day
that you wade through
and still you try
to make a difference
in your very own way
i can't forget that winter
where it dissolved
into billions of atoms
and i realized i chose
all the ones around me
then i removed it completely
to reach the core
and hope you were there

you want me to tell you
fuck you
i can't
all i feel is love
pardon me all to hell

    I think Love is confusing sometimes.

    I also think that important words need to be spoken not avoided.

    you are absolutely correct. it isn't fair. but what if that person is so damaged by having talked intimately before and being hurt, that there is such a shield up at all times, that they choke on the very words that would set them free? so they remain inside, inside, inside.

    there is no convincing them that things could be better than ever.

    the only proof is in the bare-faced words alone. nose-to-nose, cheek to brow, nuzzle to neck.

    love is meant to be confusing perhaps. otherwise we'd all be matched up by now.

    i'll wait.

    Now you've confused me for different reasons. What does candid camera or a dog have to do with this poetry thread?

    Brilliant. I agree without reservation. I am currently the damaged one in that clause.

    She knows of what she speaks. Felicity, I bow to you and your words.

    Thank you for speaking for me. Sometimes even I, the mouth, need it.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

    i need no thanks, an honor to speak for the hurt. good and healing love will find a way to those who deserve its light.

    i know all too well. it makes me cry every day for that heart that was so loving, so generous, so caring, but so beautifully overwhelming. one of a kind.

    we don't need no stinking reservations.
    our table's always ready.

    my veggie burrito was delicious.
