two lovers

I love the way there's nothing

you can do about it. Kinda like the

poem you try to write but

scratch the journal so hard you tear

the words beneath it down

like prophecy. Sometimes I

hate the internet. Further evidence

of yourself perhaps being

brave amongst the Alstroemeria colored greens,

the ointment, the weapons 

we use to lunge at each other's throats.

How you let the phone ring

three times before my blend of glare and gaze.

They will say of us losers

when they see us together,

that we touched the dampened fingers

of our youth and coughed up

the yellow eyed lacewings of our

souls.

Scratch your eyes out. You want the love so bad. The quiet never comes easy. Sacrifice comes knocking. I love this. So provoking

this tearing is a good thing? no this tearing is a good thing! you know I'm not sure about this tearing:/ sometimes the scratch reveals something underneath it could be good it could be horrible its a furtive sort of word play:/ but then again we have to go ahead and scratch don't we... the itch never stops until we attend it. i guess we are human after all

i've done it a million times..scratching. It is both morally reprehensible and on the verge of something huge...They said of Coltrane that he went into the recording of "Resolution" on "A Love Supreme" without any notes...Imagine that? His exposition had no notes..How tender and benevolent is that? Thank you my friend...I can only peek my head in here once in awhile these days...Mom is old as Methuselah and i'm her care giver.....dana

Some things just are and you must let them be. And wow this is so good.

perfect, I don't know how to express my proper appreciation of the love and tender beauty in which you have described a well balanced and weathered relationship, "to change the things we can" like "The Butterfly Effect" and the serenity to not pounce upon the things we can't. Three rings man, you would deny the gratuities satisfaction of three rings? Fine, fine, if you can hop your a*s up faster then you go right ahead at two rings and an inscription of vows upon the souls of mates on an Angels mission in our tired ol' bodies that says you used to do it in one, years and years ago.

it's a scripture ( I think) that my mother use to repeat to me....thank you love....dana
