Through this paradise of
dripping color and collagued faces
you stand as an omen of perfection-
And ultimate sadness-
because you kiss me with elastic lips
and I hold you with rubber-made fingertips,
I swam in Octobers seas of endless paper
and used your letters as life preservers,
Now patiently waiting
for the right words to come along,
I loved you times ten-
and slightly less than zero..
and somewhere in between
the pieces fell apart,
Its like emptiness within emptiness
just vaguely less than nothing,
The void before the void
of an abstract thought
that never allows it to gain ground
or cling to creativity,
Our minds lose those precious few moments
that remind our hearts
who to yearn for,
Those moments that guide
our conscience through the strains of temptation
and allow us to wake
minus the side-effects of last nights liquor,
We see the beauty in everyone around us
yet we forget that the masses are poison,
We dream dreams in movies and songs and stories
but how soon we forget
to leave them untouched
in the minds where they were conjured,
You are the lonliest person Ive ever met-
besides one,
And I still dont understand
the questions for the answers.

Two lines in this poem were borrowed from two seperate movies, London and Havoc.

Just as amazing as you have always been. You still write with the same haunting, song-like beatific vision. Glad I came back for the time being, to see this.

Amazing Joe. I LOVE your new writes. You seem to really have struck a chord in me. You just grabbed me by the neck on this one and dragged me under. I loved it. My muse was screaming in accordance with your words (sort of like those shampoo commercials...) haha but not really. I just thought that made for nice imagrey.
And Yes, my dear friend, you are old....ish. Ya know, I would invite you to my reception but would you show up?

Hey stranger, Im glad that you enjoyed this poem. It doesnt flow as well as I thought it did, see when I read it aloud, as if actually talking to someone I know where to pause but Im having a hard time at just reading it.And Im too lazy to fix it!!! Hope you are well.
