58507, I looked up Posted by rubbersoulonice, Sun Jul-16-06 02:28 PM
I pour up Broadway in the early afternoon Trying to get home home or not home and I see you Lean out your window 12 floors above me Like a gargoyle smoking a cigarette and I think At that height anyone can be a lover Or a stone woman and I think Angels grow in your hair Voice sounds like cheap champagne Bubbling into me You, the architect Making this building live against the too-blue too-clean Sunday morning sky I trail on by Suspended above the scene you are pulling us all up there The building, the street, the metro It is the third day She is risen She exhales perfect rings

58511, Mother Naked Posted by rubbersoulonice, Sun Jul-16-06 02:47 PM
Mother naked I lay With the breeze passing over me The ceiling the white of forgotten messages Tunes drifting though the room could have been written for this moment Mother naked I know She's determined now Mercy will not pass the barrier of her teeth and Mother naked it's reeling and Mother naked I move to the window and look at the Bronx Veiled kingdom It's no longer her mercy that I need Just to know Grace hasn't died in her Mother naked I smile And look for messages on the ceiling ------------------------------ Something like Eldridge Cleaver meets John Lennon

It's been ok. I'm in a language institute right now so I'm not getting a lot of time to do anything other than study, but hopefully that'll ease off in a month.

& i'm saying tho -- don't you feel me on rubbersoul?
gosh, some of us might need to throw ourselves back in the mix here...
the creative juices are runnin' too dry, & we need a funky fresh, well-timed kick in the seat of the pants.

58574, This looks easy Posted by empro, Tue Jul-18-06 05:51 AM
the way it flows seems almost effortless. Maybe the same of how i look at making up rhymes. But poetry is hard as hell for me. This was very clear, crisp, and detailed. Thanks for posting

58836, your username has always been intriguing to me Posted by mindful, Wed Jul-26-06 05:44 PM
your words, just the same:
Like a gargoyle smoking a cigarette and I think At that height anyone can be a lover Or a stone woman and I think Angels grow in your hair Voice sounds like cheap champagne Bubbling into me You, the architect Making this building live against the too-blue too-clean Sunday morning sky
love the lines above... it'd be an understatement to tell you, you paint a great picture... Peace~

I agree with all the positive vibes posted here. It didn't feel like i was reading... it was as if I were swept away.
Lovely poem.
