?Ink flows, pixels morph Pad fills, screen swells This is my life, my love, my words, Spread in black and white, for you, the reader, the listener, the examiner, to read, to listen to, to examine as you will. On the page before you, Words hanging in the air above your head, exposing myself to the cold, cruel world, searching for the hint of warmth. That you just might provide But no, my search continues, The pad grows, more words appear. The meaning shifts, and changes for this new audience, But the effect is the same Words hung out to dry, in ?

DeathWhat defines how a person lives is the whole of their experiences Memories limited to only good times are incomplete by their very nature A memory half-forgotten is no memory at all It is a lie from you to you within your mind. The only true way to remember someone or something is with the whole of your memories To revere the deceased simply because they are departed is a lie. A remembrance should be exactly that, remembering.
A morbid transformation From sinner to godsend From hated to revered Blamed to blameless. Past transgressions forgiven san Death

EmptyA blank slate with no message A soap box with no cause, No one to use the chalk No one to stand and speak
A shopping mall mannequins still stand But no shoppers shopping. No helpers helping No one anywhere, doing anything
A radio without a song A school without a class No one to make the music No one to teach the masses Empty

AtlasWhat to do, when the world's on your shoulders. What can you do, with no good choice. The answer is obvious, the choice is clear. With the world on your shoulders and no other alternative, your only answer is to let the world fall. Atlas

Song of My Own

I celebrate myself and sing it for you, a song, of me and my own, of a life done and gone, of a new era, on a steady rise. One of my mind, deep and complex, that you will never understand, and that I could never capture in just a few words.
A life, long gone, but far from over, of tragedy and loss, of triumph over diversity, of time wasted and money spent...
Those closest are extinguished or pulled away, and the ones watching in mute horror are pulled in to make the pain worse. The struggles, hard fought, but worth it. end in lo

So gone

Thu Oct 29, 2009, 5:52 PM

Ugh,
I am so far gone, it's not even funny. I have no time for anything anymore. Right now, all I have time for is schoolwork and a little time with Keara. Other than that, it's all sleep, with just a little bit of down time. I have had absolutely no time with which to write poetry. This is why I have not posted in a while.

Also, I just got back from Lord of the Dance, and it was totally amazing. I loved it! I'm actually thinking that I'll take some Irish dancing lessons in college. A side effect this is having is making me miss Judaism a little. Some of the dances were incredibly similar to traditional Jewish dances. I used to love doing them. I'm really missing the atmosphere of my temple: the singing, the dancing, the food, and the people. It was all pretty good with a few choice exceptions.
But, oh well. That life is behind me now.
