    eulogy

     <> 



    killed by your bombs
    yet calmly embalmed 
                at my eulogy
    your words found the softer me
    somehow disguised the lofty me        
                  in prose
    and who knows why
    i thought you hated me 
            but
    you told my story
    an all out allegory
    "because i am so confusing"
    yet i amused your days
    and you will never forget me

    is it my smile that stays
    and pays rent to the reaper
    so there is more time to touch noses
    i give up on guessing where the ghost is

    i lived those times as if it was only you
    but now hearing your words
    it was always us


    and i am in love again

    If we gave voice to the dead I wonder what they would say? I wonder how our regrets would compare to their regrets? I suppose in death hope is a moot point, so perhaps memory, regret and love would be all that remains. I did a poem along these lines several years ago while I was sitting in a hotel room in Saigon. I got to thinking about my Army buddies who didn't make it back. This is what they had to say: http://www.originalpoetry.com/silence-doth-become-the-dead Well written my friend.

    You honestly never know the impact you may or may not have on someone....our interpretations in general are biased to who we are....this write like life....sheds light on possibilities lost...and....how things are not always what they seem....I love this my friend....the feel of this write is exactly why I don't think there is anything wrong with a woman approaching a male....why wait until its too late....I'm not sure where you get your insight from....HOWEVER....I'm glad that you share them with the masses in the crafty...talented....and subjective way in which you do.....lol....btw....this also had a feel of your alto ego thrown in.....great write....Cher

    Yeah, this is a cross between the two, Crush and Phission. Together they form angry hope :)

    I wouldn't say "angry hope"....but more....dark layers being peeled off....and....shedding to the light....You should really give some thought into writing a book or even articles for progressive magazines....Cher

    Progessive Magazines - Allowing one to shed the masks and pushing past the doors marked “Private” revealing the core of who we are....and...want to be....( my definition based on Wikipedia )...lol....to sum it up....NO TABLOID TYPE OF GENRE....Essence has pages dedicated to individuality expressions on everyday situations and questions....at times they feature views from women and men....A young man named Kevin ( first "Real World" contestant ) is one of my favs because of his approach in writing styles....you could also send in articles as they give a platform for those published or not...Cher

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
