Take Me Off The Kiss List

In the sound of the drums and the heart that beats quick
it's the ground and the rung of heat
farther on,
I can hear their sweet ringing
in my ears as they fry
within the room as she dwindles the mind.


my heart--
it tells me never now,
it tells me never to the world I want to be.
I can't,
no, I won't hear the better now,
because I've got to take this foot off the gun.


well now-- gun it!
call it quits, we ride it out behind the trees
where I wander out beneath the stars,
where you carry me.

but I'm so wrong,
because
my
heart tells me never!
my heart tells me never
oh why my heart,
why tell me never
when I've got
nothin' to lose?


left me now it is to wander,
wander quietly, as I try,
gladly I, wonder why
this world could break me in the storm.
for all this brokenness is crazy
and the slaughtered
dare to hunger.


my heart, forget me so,
we can never
meet again,
so now to you heart,
I tell you never,
I tell never,
oh yes! I say it's over,
and these chains,
these chains you held me with....
belong to you.

Oh... that's drooled with fascination. Firstly, loved the way you got hooked up with your poetically majestic words:

In the sound of the drums and the heart that beats quick
it's the ground and the rung of heat
farther on...

I love the analogy of "farther on" .. it's all 'bout heart undisguised with distances, miles & the bleaps of bashing heart-beats. The more it beats up, more you go get along.. to reach for nothing, but for love and it's dulcet pleasure so .. sometimes, the heart fears .. worries .. gets scared to get shattered into pieces, no matter how pleasurably it's well swung overnight so I believe, "Take Me Off The Kiss List" is a very astounding & captivating title that speaks the heart, for love-goodness. Wonderful art!

Again, your thanks. This was based on a child-like notion, as I was 18 when I wrote it, haha. Love and emotion is ever-changing.

[Adam Adams]

You're welcome. Lol.. yeah, I get that... but you weren't sounded "utterly" like .. 18 .. I took it as 18 or may be, 21+ .. *chuckle*

Is this poetry taken from your own .. any thesis or book-ish project? (mind me asking you?)

[Kristine Ferg]

Not that I recall. I tend to take my heavy emotions and sprawl them 'cross the page as I feel them. All of my works on here are personal works, as book-ish projects tend to slash creative free-flowing form in my opinion :) .

[Adam Adams]

Oh, then I must say, it's meticulously creative. Your poetry "Take Me Off The Kiss List" sounds like you've been working on any project or any journal entries by the side so I just thought... you also shown your project's glimpse through poetry as well.. but yeah... you waved good in your own poetically given manifested description of words even quite well.

Umm... How oft. do you write such poetry?

[Kristine Ferg]

I used to write everyday, along with journaling, capturing life as it happened. These days my time is precious, and my poetry lacking to say. I'm an artist, so my time has shifted to refining my skillset.

[Adam Adams]

See, I smelled you right... you write journals ...
So, what kinda "artist", as you say, you are? How you shape the course of winds with your manifested art? (Mind me giving ya a trouble to get hooked up with convo?) Lol

[Kristine Ferg]

Haha, no trouble. I'm whatever I can get my hands on. Graphite. Charcoal. Oil pastel. Graphic. Found. Sculpture. I'm focused on studies in graphic design, but I'm partial to charcoal.

[Adam Adams]

Charcoal? You meant... road roller .. job?

[Kristine Ferg]

pardon? lol

[Adam Adams]

Lol ..may be, am a bit misunderstood..
You say, you "can get your very soften hands on "Charcoal", "Oil" and .. on & on .." & then added, you're partial to "charcoal".. It makes me wonder: "What kinda job exactly you're involved with? Do you work as a road roller or charcoal laborer? If so, then how you give time to poetry?

[Kristine Ferg]

I draw. :)

[Adam Adams]

Oh, I had a thought so...
I'd like to see your art if am not getting under your bare chin? Lol
