sad/beautiful

that night we both dreamt of resurrection

 

i roll your emotions like a rubber ball between my glowing palms

and take your minds yolk in my veins

 

you whispered  its so brittle, this life

you were uncontrollably sad       trembling

because we will never be able to occupy

the exact same physical space.

 

i stand before a crowd and read poetry

but i cannot pronounce the word love

◄ i am hopeless and you are hopeless and together we have hope

sometimes the only way to react to this life is to find hope in stupid things. ►

Very nice, Stu. I totally agree with Martin about the lines. Fellas, if you love someone just tell them.

Stu I love these lines especially
'I roll your emotions like a rubber ball between my glowing palms and take your minds yolk in my veins'
beautiful and as Ray says that word Love can be so difficult to say in public.

It's funny how public pronouncements of "love" always seem like a sort of cop out of deeper things, which is a shame, and it has the same universal appeal as say the sky but has to be proven and probed to bring a dimension to it. That's my view anyway and what do I know? I think the last two lines are sort of down to earth after the delicacy of the other ones. It works well. Ray
