WINDOGEUM

Folder: 
JOURNAL#17

romantic

yet strikingly stark he wrote

a disturbing haunter

hidden behind his weighted words

his pale full ponder was nearly lost

to this colorfully shameless repetitive

reader

I knew not what to make of his poignant

overly dramatic bloodless jibber

the pages much too quickly grew twisted

his shattered soul's candlelight had not

yet burned enough to put even an adequate

drop of precious pen's ink to the yet

realized great promise of the page

he still emotionally lay in his crib

and far too many eerie shadows and veils

played havoc upon his intendeds rage

though

I am rather certain

that he so utterly ravaged himself

by then

had never intended that to somehow be

surmised

still

his anger flared

only to just as quickly wane

like a vicious storm cloud emptied

of its torrential wrath

much too swiftly upon the unexpected

desert plain

his swollen sea of hope so filled with such

jagged possibilities was never able to

with stand the lull

the eventual lull that all too soon comes

to any intimate relationship

it flows along with the changing seasons

of the too human spirit

oh how he must have yearned for the glow and

perfection of such an all encompassing

feeling to never cease

so much so that he was not prepared

for even the smallest waves of change

still he craved an unhealthy dose of human

closeness that can never for very long be

sustained

as all feelings fall under the spell of changes

path just like everything else

mutual desire

at first

so utterly intense

yet so very empty and pointless in the end

many still crave it so

but the deeper love should be

every man's goal

so don't fret Windogeum

for your secret sorrow

is safe with me...................
