Rest Assured

Rest assured,
it hurts,
that every reason to stay up late,
has dispersed,

into reminicent quips and
and catch phrases,
every backspaced sentence worth revealing,
I, who edits and erases.

Restless assured,
I can't sit still,
pacing a path into my floor,
powerless to impose even my own will,

what is it,
and where will it lead,
straight to dead ends where we're chased by guard dogs,
I, who screams and bleeds.

Assured,
by a lack of sacrifice and vision,
poised ready to jump,
ready, whenever given proper permission,

Guided by
a failing light of self-reliance,
flckering against cavernous walls,
I, whose chains have begun to rust.

Rest,
someday in arms strong as they are soft,
searching, by day of course,
but not because I'm lost,

for a chance to expand,
the surface the flickering light has touched,
setting eyes ablaze,
I, whose rest has brought much.

Beautiful. It's the only word that comes to my mind. It may not be much of a "comment", but really, I am speechless. Beautiful.

Thanks Mig and Comp Partner, I was a bit miffed at the great lack of response to my lengthier previous blog but hey, it's always nice to see both of you.

Could you be more specific with your confusion.

I know this is becoming redundant, but no ones poetry makes my mind respond the way it does when I read yours. It's like you say things in a code that my mind longs for....it's like the code is what I can understand.

And, as I read, I can feel myself understanding and even being swept up in the feeling of the poetry, but once I let my mind return to reality, I can't figure out what it was I understood.

This is the gayest comment ever, and I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

You rock!!!

Your biggest fan,

Trin, I, as always appreciate your responses, but I must say that I don't find anything particularly homosexual about this particular comment.

hi suspeckted. i was going to mount a challenge to trin to prove who was really your biggest fan

but instead i will say that your preferring christina over charlize in your comment made me so happy that i wrote a blog about you !.

i entitled it "man says he prefers 'non-bimbo' women", and i referred to you as 'the man every woman should love" !.

hah ! are you impressed now, or what ?..

Holy Hell, I am putting on my spikes and sprinting over there right now. I was all set to bike to work at it's pouring outside right now so this more than makes up for it...well, maybe I should say that after I read it.

PS - thanks for the kissies...especially that they're kissies and not just kisses, that makes 'em even cuter.
