You...
by Beth K HannahWords are a complicated game
I cannot seem to master
Or even begin
Sounds audible to the naked ear
Pass through me
Without a scratch
The heaviness of gazes
Seem wasted
And float like lies
You are that boy
That one
The only one who makes me shiver
And twists my skin
Into a sky of blue
You are that boy
That reminds me of the Godfather
Reminds me of guns and cloaks
And a shard of hope
As words halt and morph
Into an oasis where I can begin
You seem irreplaceable

| Posted by Don Coffman on 08/15/03 at 09:39 AM You seem to do rather well at words when writing here. It's impressive that you could compose it in your head, too, I wish my brain worked that well. I'm lucky to remember a line. Anyway, this is interesting and an enjoyable read. :) |
