Dead flowers.

That the single eccentric embrace
I dream about,
Makes me moil with the
Down beat passion
I feel for the regalia of colours,
I feel for the shapes,
I feel for the gestures
You have around you,
About you.


And in you.


My pupils are shaking without
The humidity of your love.


I put my arm around me
To hinder me back;
Wanting to run,
Never stop.
Knock on her Beachwood door,
Candle in a cradle,
Dead flowers on her floor.

and out of the sombre light
a quiet entrance he makes-
a poet in whom life is not so much delight
as it si the unfolding of self amid the pain.
a trully remarkable achievement!

this one is very eerie and sad. how your heart must be breaking.

"My pupils are shaking without
The humidity of your love."

I absolutely am enthralled by this line.

Excellent!!!!! xx kathy
