i don't see him.
so i don't believe him.

that which i
loved in you
is now dressed
ugly

oftentimes i drape this
world with a delight -
of leaving it forever,
of enjoying it for now

tis always, fellow traveller,

the best, the last goodbyes
show real love

a parchment of you
lingers somewhere in me -
i wish you had burnt yourself
right out of me

Of tomorrow’s tomorrows

Of yesterday’s dead children?

can you measure
infinity?

I like these bits o' wisdom. One in particular:
What care have I?
Of tomorrow’s tomorrows
Or
Of yesterday’s dead children?
scared the crap out of me. It jumped out of the screen and yelled in my face. I don't know how I feel about that yet.

Absolutely Amazing. U have depth like none I've seen.

Such wisdom. Culled from experience, eh? I so agree.

A raging thought. Starkly expressed. ^_^
Pristine collection :..M..:
"oftentimes i drape this
world with a delight -
of leaving it forever,
of enjoying it for now"
I liked this one for simple black and white look at life.
"tis always, fellow traveller,
that the last bite tastes
the best, the last goodbyes

Couldn't agree more. As a traveler I know exactly how this feels and you have captured it in these few lines.
"a parchment of you
lingers somewhere in me -
i wish you had burnt yourself
right out of me"
Like the power in these lines of expunging what is bothering you.
Jax - I shall bow and say thank you. For me to have evoked so much in you that you want to think over it and not verbalize immediately - it is, indeed, an honor for any writer/poet.
stan laurel - I was scared myself when I wrote that. It's gotto do with the truth - it's crude and too real.
transience - I am touchedtouchedtouched beyond words.
BlackEmpress - Depth? Hehe. The waters are only as deep as you wish them to be. But, I thank you for your kind words :)
Soulless - Yes, the traveller quartet's more or less from personal experience. As for the second piece, I'm happy you found it to be the way you did.
.:A:. - :) I did imagine you to identify with the traveller one. And it's nice to hear what you thought of the other two. Thanks.
I cannot help but feel sad when I read your thoughts. They are, I agree, profound, but your depth came for a price that I felt you didn't want to pay.
Free Spirit - Yet I paid for it and once that point came I did it with a positive spirit. Hence, it was well worth it. Experience is something I never back out of :)
Oh.. Oh... Oh.. that's almost too good! Oh how I loved those! :)
Haunting and taut. I love the line: "sublime drape of
wordlessness." A great way to describe the night sky.
Kristian - Thanks..your comment brought a smile to my face.
Anonymous Poet - :) Thank you, I'm glad you liked these pieces.
