Date Posted: 16:09:05 01/21/08 Mon Sipping Salt Water Tears They banged dead on my door the crust of death a black hole where the soul is dipped in darkness until the light lazers and gathers its force until the stream of truth explodes in a filtered dawn there upon a high mount a grand revelation of new life spins into the sweet cadence of "The Saints go Marching On" They delivered me to freedom one swift ass-smack and my poem was born it now rises above the ego ashes of all that encumbers me when the cynic comes to town it takes me sailing to blue harbors where natives dance on lonely shores it feeds my soul with crystal waters that tap a beat below a practiced grin she bends to pick a flower my heart becomes her river the Danube flowing underneath a lovers bridge, then further out into a wondrous sea where the filaments of all my fiber roll on restless waves beating to the rhtyum of my life long dream she sings the song of ages the old soul melodies of love where the purpose is not pleasure something deeper still undefined I walk with no grace in this man's world of incomplete I seek only something finer than what I have settled for take me there to her design where the sea wall of her fear holds back her salted water tears let me break her levee with one great blow to sip her seas, and free her pain in the name of love in the name of truth in the name of ages let me become her shore in the far places where the heart journeys out there beyond the smallest twinkling star the universe calls me home to lead me further on further on towards its truth no longer blind no chains to bind just the soft breath of forever gentle on our minds I will languish there forever far beyond my greatest poem I will be the shelter of her storms FOREVER: ...when I can finally name her "HOME" ajs [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
