It's quarter-to-four AM
Sitting here wide awake
listening to the thunder
rumbling, low and soft, outside my window
Flashes of lightning so dim
looks like cars rolling by
to a destination unknown
to me.
Dog,
sitting near my knee
panting
the smell of her breath is enough to put you under
Weather man on tv
telling me what to expect
droughts in the west
rains in the east
Sitting here writing
on a piece of blank paper
torn
from the back of my burners users manual
in purple ink, i write
countless words and phrases
my life as is
running quite smoothly, my life is
New Girlfriend
Better Life
Most improved in grade 9, awarded 20 bucks
My talents for web design
have helped me out
a request to volunteer
to give up some time
to help build a site
yet, i know not much HTML
I could pre-build pages on the net at home
and take them to our house
for use on the site
but i am not quite sure how to go about it
ANYWAY.
I think i should stay up all night
and go to sleep earlier tomorrow
to get back on my regular track
Writing
I feel quite content
when i write, it helps to express
just the words flowing out
i dont really think when i write
i just write what i write
changing a word or two between the written and typed copies
just to un load everything in mt head
on to one, two, three, four, or five pieces of paper
lifts a thousand pounds off of me
I have problems
Just like everyone else
and i admit it
unlike some people
ands as a wise-man once said, "anyone whom is perfect is surely lieing"
they deny how they feel
thinking that if they deny having problems
their problems will fade, like a dying pen
or like the dissappearing ink, you buy in a gag/joke shoppe
I usually confess my problems
either verbally, physically, emotionally, or thru poetry
My poetry drives my baby wild
not the bad kind of wild
the good, serine thinking kind of wild
a kind of wild which makes her love me more and more with each poem
Sometimes i don't know
sometimes i get confused
Is my love for you here?
or is it?
but i think its good
because
your mind tends to wonder
when your being swept off your feet, by something that seems so surreal
You know I love you
I know you love me
I want to say it
I have to
I need to
I pine to
.............I love you. Enough to spend my whole life with you.
A connection so astounding
a heavy Kenetic force
pulling us together
like how the north and south poles of a magnet are attracted together
your north
i'm south
I may not see you every day
I might not please you in EVERY way
but you please me
more than words can say
and day by day
there'll be no reason to keep away
soon the best thing will happen
we will both hold a lisence
you before me
ladies before gents
as it always should be
Therefore our time together will grow greater
our time apart will be less
And if we're together when we're old enough
I hope your answer will be yes.
Yes?
