    until i've seen
    the northern
    lights i won't
    be satisfied
    living in my city

    until i've eaten
    fugu i won't be
    sated by sushi

    until the forests
    return i can't
    sunbathe on
    your deck
    without guilt

    when solar-powered
    cars are mass
    marketed
    i may, just may
    learn to drive

    when beggars
    say thank you
    instead of cursing
    food gifts ...

  2. Gift of the Phoenix

    by , 11-02-2006 at 05:41 PM (Half the time)
    Go out, walk, go to school
    Return home, homework, sleep
    What have you done during your day
    During your Life

    Have you done anything, really
    Achieved any dreams
    I think not
    Go out, meet a Phoenix

    Walk, school, returning...
    You meet the Phoenix again
    He asks you if you want to
    Fly with it and go away

    Far away, to another planet
    Home, homework
    Leave everything behing and

    1/23/06. edit to topic: i kept her longer. couldn't let her go. don't know that i ever will...long enough to hear, not imagine, her heartbeats...what a miracle...and to find out that my dreams of a girl were correct. and to put my life on the line and (partly because of that) be less angry with him.

    i've also added a stanza and italicized one word that needed it.


    our months
    together/her
    tiny heartbeats
    fall from the scalpel

  4. Send the Next Foe On

    Send the Next Foe On

    I have walked that Razor’s Edge—
    Stared into the Face of Death—
    I have witnessed things best left unsaid—
    Stumbled to my feet again

    I have walked among Hell’s Flames—
    Heard the Nightmares shriek my name—
    I’ve ran out of people that I could blame—
    So I had to blame myself

    I have smelled the Smoke and felt the Dark—
    I’ve felt my Mind slowly begin to split apart—
    Nearly bled to

  5. The Raven: Parody #2

    The Raven: Parody #2

    Once upon an afternoon so dreary, with my body weak and weary,
    The eyes all red and bleary with watching for the mail;
    Hoping that the post would bring me, something calculated to spring me
    From my doldrums and the things we endure from broken dreams—
    From the cold emptiness that echoes from the shades of broken dreams—
    All this I wished and more.

    I spoke aloud to the evening air each line I’d written with great
