windmills.

tiny kernel girl

living within me

please continue 

to hold the sadness deep

you can bury it beneath

the monsters under the bed

noone cares to look there

anyways

for there are smiles to be given

after all

and the world demands its tithe

yes! know the feeling...aside from the 'girl' part. that last line really pulls focus on reality and smashes all pretenses.
another good one!

[Ed Hart]

yes, the world; well, it's a b***h, i know...fortunately you have your wonderful poetry, and a few friends who love to see you dance...

Not here ...you are safe with us. This almost made me cry. The combination is very moving and your words are so, so sad. I could listen to these all night. Beautiful.
