Wintry Acceptance

Crumpled pages, stained with mistaken thoughts, Are the mono-chromatic leaves Of the Autumn
That is settling into your head.
A wintry acceptance stills Your once fevered fingers. Chilled are thoughts Once so eager.
I've never seen a frozen pond But they say that it doesn't completely Freeze. The fish survive beneath the shell, Dreaming fish dreams of
The time when they can escape a Watery world. Pretend to be birds.

NebuchadnezzarSeven years caliph of cattle, rajah of ragweed, emir of empty wastes, when he returned to his stuffy throne, to his discomfited viziers, to his obsequious magi was there not some mounting awe soon overshadowed any pity or ridicule, a cumulative respect for this once-mad king come shambling back
from no man’s land, head shagged with grizzly hair, fingernails claw-long and caked with dirt like blood?
Could he not declare: Behold I, Nebuchadnezzar, who, by the will of the most High, have lived seven years as a beast and am only thu Nebuchadnezzar

TwoTwo
There are two of us I've always known No pretence.
She has always been, this other. She was alone, before.
So I split us, Different names - Leaving her to find her freedom. I watched, I waited Intrigued and overawed.
I've tried to hide her. I even killed her, Buried her and marked the grave. Odd then, she's back here now, Self-centred female Living in the moment Past haunting constantly.
Forging forward
Trashing boundaries She does not see or understand. Or maybe she does. Two

Long time gone

Thu May 8, 2008, 9:08 AM

It's been a while since I've written anything besides the odd journal entry. But lately I've felt the desire to start writing again. So I've made a pact with myself to write something every night, not worrying about whether it's good or not, just pushing myself out of this year-long writers strike. If it goes well, hopefully I'll be posting here again.

It might be worth buying the issue.

You and your writer's block.

I am incredibly impressed by your poetry, can't wait to get back to read more of it. I'll definitely have to keep you on my

list so I don't miss any future writings.

BTW, I experienced Rothko last summer for the first time, at the National Gallery in DC. I was fortunate enough to be with my former girlfriend, an artist, who showed me how to find the right distance and let the power of the piece wash over me. Mind-blowing!

I'm glad you were able to experience Rothko correctly, he really felt his works had a spiritual aspect to them, and he hated to be parted with them and refused to sell many of them during his lifetime. If you ever get the chance (or you're in the area) I'd check out the Rothko chapel in Houston, it's amazing in an almost overwhelming way.

Thanks again for your comments, I'd love to have you read anything of mine and give me your opinion..
