defintions falling short

Post by saw » September 21st, 2017, 8:46 am

I disregard the twangs of pain
in my lower back from leaning
over too much to score
the next great symphony,
that's really only chicken-scratch
born in the fevers that arise
in ghouls of past lives, and
it really needs far less explanation
than I'd like to give it

we all want to be understood

I roil like an isolated caretaker
in a snowbound hotel in the mountains
the cat's paws frozen from scratching
on the door to get inside my head, the wood
forever damaged by the scars of truth
one might choose to ignore, hey
there is so much joy, lot's of it
bottled in cages of bone, the contrasts
of light upon a lover, the darkroom films
developed.....poloroid romantics exposed
don't mistake
my drama for mania, my love as cheap....

love cannot be overemphasized,
nor fully explained
so forgive me for enticing you to read this
like it's going somewhere
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

love is essential
love of God is eternal
