Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

the curves of his face
traced her bold warrior like stance in the shadows of the night
where softness carried most women
this one had to learn how to fight

papa liked to drink, and mama liked to scream
liked all those expensive cold creams
papa was an actor see

she always wondered where is he?
even while standing there, it seemed he was half here, and half where his twin brother gone

she knew the curves of his face
from a babe s hands
innocent eyes
no disguise for him
no lies for him

that is why she had to dance
papa sold off the family sacreds
darkness followed him
too bazzare
many walker came to see it all

another inspired piece.....there is a wonderful manic quality to these last poems that feels real, and one seems to lead to the other, the volcano is ready to blow.........enjoyed it.......cs..............peace.......steve

manic depression is a fabulous jimi hendrix song

my father makes me feel
stronger, brighter, alone
my mother makes me feel
protective, defensive, annoyed

a shrink would say "use your I statements"
ifeel like you are controling when you tell me to hurry the fuck up

that would have gone over big with the actor in biker movies
i am not sure who i thought i was
poppy had a horse
smokey, and when i walked up
it smelled me, and then my father
i followed him for years trying be a daughter
but i failed
mama is still screaming and burning food
selling furniture for botox
paintings to her grandchildren

it will never be anything
more than what it is

I'm SO using this in counseling sometime...and I'll think thankfully of you, csoul!!!

yeah i like this one alot- got me out of a very f---- deep dark hole
"i am only here because of your manipulation"
i saw that carved next to a boyfriend s bed in jr high, and 25 years later i used it- recently i was able to thank him for that- he laughed-

see, junior high is not so bad at all.
