imagine you near
our hearts beating too close
yours racing in many parts of your body

may the peace of
pablo casals find you
in a family afternoon

being together
is that which
holds us
together best

she's gone

the visit was so long ago
faint as a watercolor
vibrant as a memory
once a year was never enough
that will have to do

Ganesha · Sep 25, 2007

why pretend
to love me

I still hate you
wish it could change

ghosts scurry past
my angry energy

why pretend
to love you

yes you were sick
I know that so well

but why do I need
to excuse

you were so cruel
touch, word, look

I withered
power was yours

now you are dead
power is mine

wish I could be kind
to your memory

so this is it
this is how we arrive
with belly laughs and
cozy embraces that squeeze
the goody and the goodness

oozes like sweet lemonade sold
10 cents a cup on the corner;
if Lucy's there prepare to
put your feet up and tell me how

it's more simple than you expected-
yet of course it would be familiar;
you were there in the beginning
catching me in a slippery hold

proudly cutting me free yet
re-assuring me with one long gaze
into my blackhole eyes and a kiss
on the sleek down covering my softspot

why would Eternity not be this moment
would there ever be a circle more
perfect than the one drawn by a child
or a sphere more complete than

your arms around my babies
the arms of my hero who cut me loose
whose grey gaze assured me I'd
always be safe-yes

this is how we arrive

Teena · Sep 27, 2007

i turn from you
and turning find
i am
alone
in this crowd

Empty people
blank lives,
shadows of existence
not understood
nor often considered.

Smile mother -
hug your children to your breast.
Feign ignorance
of the fate awaiting
every life -

empty or full.

gather close my kin
whose features we agree we
should see all this way

Rivana · Oct 9, 2007

Empty faces,
papers -
picture clear.
Glossy
glances of life
between pages.
Cycles, circles -
time in pupils.
Blank, yet soulful
like the blackness
up in space.
Full of dreams
that can never
escape.

Appalachian Writer · Feb 7, 2008

We are half drawn,
splashes of color on canvas.
Life keeps drawing,
sketching scenes,
brushing against,
around us,
forming lines
and limitations.
We linger in the lines
holding close the colors
reaching out
to touch the portrait next to us.

KTC · Feb 8, 2008

A family in waiting,
almost there
but for the color
of wanting,
the smile of despair.

onestepp · Mar 7, 2008

Sunshine's warmth,
breath's despair,
waiting, waiting
held tightly
upon each others care.

HeronW · Mar 18, 2008

Color in our lives a moment
the baby reaches for the brightest
the child looks for her favorite
grandmother remembers the first flower
grandfather thinks of her eyes
When will we'll be this hue again?
