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

Something like Eldridge
Cleaver meets John Lennon
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

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.

you're showing ISN'T mutual?! are you nuts? LOL...

i cracked up just readin' yr message anyways...

& 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.

(um...now if all that ain't pause-heavy, i dunno what is!)

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

inspiring. beautiful too.
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.
