Where We Belong
I’m so awake, and depressed,
an open eye, I watch in awe
beautifully unaware
you shine, when you're stressed.
You never knew I always saw
How can you live in a forest fire and not be burned?
Your eyes reflect the flames
a lesson never learned.
You’re the moon,
unaware you create tides below
they recede too soon
leaving empty foam.
Stereo on, lights off, open window racket,
this noisy dark can't blanket the liar.
Your arms surround me like a straight jacket.
Let’s dig up the past, burn it in a funeral pyre.
I only cry when you don’t hear
the deep of night
opened beers.
The stars below us, the universe above,
We grasp for one another,
we grope for love.
but fall we must,
burning through the atmosphere
a thousand miles of lust.
Back where we belong.

O no, I don’t write, that would be all my daughter. I paint.
So I know this is an old one, but I am finally getting the chance to read threw some of your work. I super dig the line “how can you live in a forest fire and not be burned”.
Lovely. :)
CM, it's a beauty. No matter how many times I read it - I feel it deep! Great poem, and I'll be back again. =)
Wow, u wrote this drunk?! Achingly impressive. Theres so much inside of this that i felt.
I am so saddened by the deer and the majestic forest fire behind them. I was thinking of the animals all of a sudden.
Beyond the photos is your beautiful "first piece" and you can put a tune into that too and turn it together into a poetic song! Good one, CM!
What can I say, pool table killer LOL You should definitely try to write funny stuff, it's much easier than tough ones. I'm telling ya, when I did the grotesque piece (really nothing major from my point of view) the folks around here got seriously spooked LOL I had to lighten up the bizarre disaster just to straighten up the rocked boat LOL
I'd say it's a totally cool poem, very expressive and deep on a personal level. Brings out inner images perfectly, I'll probably sound like a complete nutcase but I do hear the music when I read it. I can relate to this poem hundred and ten percent LOL Great choice of pictures, have you ever played bowling with the cans (kind of funny pathetic attempt to switch from despair of drowning by grasping the tiny straw =)). Love your poems as well as prose, it's really impressive.
Voted up and beautiful. Very profound and full of emotion...You write from your inner self... LOVE the pictures, hope the deer were okay in the top one, I SO love animals. Thank you for this unique, original creation. Blessings, Sparklea :)
