Poem


Your heart, my friend, is full of greed,
You seem to smile in a farfetched key.
And visions you see must all be bad,
'Cause you're convinced life is already had.

I believe you could reach into man's deepest part.
I know you can remove the good from a man's best heart -
A devil riding upon a silver-laced cart.

Satan so evil, satan so bad,
Goodness is something you never had.
Go with the winds and sing with the dead,
And show your skin as a deep lusty red.

Set your fires about your throne,
Set your fires in the midst of our homes.
Alight your flames upon your lonely sea.
Alight your flames, sit,
  And wait for me.

Loneliness

White curtains on the window to decorate the
over-tolerated outer scene. The chair before
the window that has been sat in too much
and too long. One person dwindling behind the
voice of another. And both knowing they are
each alive.
One, is all but two.
