CHER' JEAN
Remember those sunny days,
you ran without any shoes?
flowers in bloom,
purple and blue,
you’d always remind me too.
We’d lie in the thick of the grass,
imagine a story of a time yet to pass.
Talking lips eventually turning to caressing hips...
and so, and so...
We were pretty then,
when we danced, and you would twirl.
my spirit,
my soul, was full.
while my stomach would ache
and constantly curl.
You were sweet when you’d say:
“I will love you each and every day”
Yet,
Somehow,
I’m older now,
and It’s not what I thought it would be.
we dreamed,
and so it seems
time
was forced to flee...
before us.
remember us,
I remember us...
I met a homeless man today,
and he invited me in...
he caught me peering out his window...
with all these eyes staring back in...
“oh, what a chill”
facing me then...
with his held high chin,
and eyes that glisten,
with an unspoken grin...
“never mind, it’s warm inside”
One dark and stormy night
I walked a lonely street…
with many bends and turns
I would generally meet…
It was indeed
a lonesome walk
I would say…
with the fear of who I might greet,
every day.
Suddenly,
maybe two to four feet,
a ghoul I did see.
A sullen face
I was sure i would receive.
What has come over me,
I could not believe…
for there was no face…
no eyes
to gaze at,
no lips,
nor nose.
I did
what any would do,
I turned my head
with a quiver and yelp
and ran past the ghoul,
looking for any kind of help.
To my dismay,
now only inches away...
I saw another ghoul in sight!
and it was at that very moment
I thought…
oh why didn’t I turn right?
However,
this time I would tell myself
to not get a fright...
I would approach this thing,
and let it ring true,
that I would not be afraid,
not of anyone,
not even of you.
And so I did just that...
I walked one step,
then two…
and what I saw
when face to face with this ghoul
you would ask?
“It’s me!” I did say,
it wasn’t even a mask.
It was since that very day,
no monster I’d dare
scare me away...
no goblin nor ghoul,
I would stay true,
because since that very day,
I’ve found,
we can all be monsters...
even me and you.
We study to learn
lest we be buried in the knowledge of nothing,
and still we learn
to study nothing of the knowledge.
I sit in winter with words that do not heat me
while adding the snowflakes that fall
between me,
beside me, before me,
measuring the white influence
against the black of the night,
disguising i’m a worm
in this bird cage called life.
I wonder of stencils and chalk...
as someone behind me begins to talk,
this language I know
“Ich bin hungrig”
I reply with a shrug
and a gesture of no.
I hoped to have learned everything
I thought I needed to know,
to survive in this jungle
of rubbish dumps and Merlot
but
I am this
with the feeling of that...
I will never know where life may go
but for G-d’s sake
take me with you!
1.2.3...
Counting the centuries
4.5.6...
the caves and carvings the creatures and creations...
7.8.9...
"Fall to your knees!"
calls out the perilous chaos of the stagnant
The inevitable forward motion of cogs
turn
turn
turn...
There!
drops another fly to its silent slumber...
Sing little honey bee, suckling on flowers sweet teat...
10.11.12...
more time...
gasp!
we need more time...
Hello again my darling, my dear,
how lovely you are,
especially today.
Forgive me,
I cannot speak, so I’ll write to say,
That:
In these hardened tears,
a whimper and choke,
fills this very empty throat.
So tremendously sore the pain at the thought…
of losing you again…
my darling, my dear.
...Whoever you are inside...
with me, I hope you know,
it is always safe to confide.
I see…
...you!
Regardless of the
stone cold face that would appear…
I’ll say this for certain, for sure,
my darling, my dear:
It is only you I utterly adore.
And hear me now if you have not before.
If fortune, at my door will never knock
I’ll be happy with you…
like a key and its lock, and not because you are all I ever got,
but my darling, my dear:
You are all I ever wanted…
... and luckily got.
What if
I had
no more days with you?
If the whole world
just
collapsed on us two?
And it became
once more
what it just was before
that i’d just be me
and you’d just be you?
If no vow
we would take
and my heart
would just break
and ache
and ache...
But if my heart would just stop beating
that extra skip for you
and all
and all
we’d just be through
not once more
i’m sure.
but the last time i’d see you
come knocking at my door
I think I may just forget your smell
but not you
...never you
Mangled in rot and filth,
she grasps at the melodic tune
that hums behind her ears.
It whispers only for her.
a delicate sound
that holds comfort in its warm breath,
as it leans closer
to the fragility of her heart,
...c-o-n-t-o-r-t-i-n-g...
in its utterances,
able to cradle her
without bending her to break...
and she is safe.
With Time...
she learns to sing as well...
and her voice travels...
past the heavy noise
of doubt and despair
and into the light crisp air.
one damned world will not make two!
lifting one foot two
and forward she marches,
the silent soldier...
with her own melodic tune
that leads her through.
She lives in the grey one,
found down the street...
It seems,
every second day...
Pink! I’ll say, pink! I’ll say...
Yet still she will not budge...
From her safety... her grey...
And ill ask her of aqua, fuchsia, orange, or white...
Yet still she will not bite,
she sticks with her grey...
With all of her might.
And so I continue...
Coffee, copper and cocoa brown...
Yet all I receive are dreaded stares and frowns...
And so one day I figured it out!
I can not get her out of her grey...
But I can stick to my own multi-colored array...
And just hope that one day...
She will live in something more...
... than just the grey.
Cue life in…
20 seconds…
His gaze finds mine…
coddled in between the resplendent lines
of what will be…
and what may be…
One look;
. what of his smell, and his taste…
I hope his to be sweet; the subtle perfume of glorious man…
10 seconds…
Suzzi is playing doll house;
little Charlie is feeding spike…
And there he is…smiling.
I let out a lionhearted roar; I’m ready...
5 seconds…
I jump…
And we meet…
