Appear To Me
August 28th 2007 03:51
The Sun Plays its rays
through ragged holes torn in rain
rain itself is mischievous
attacking in laughing spats
The Wind stirs
even the smallest ground bush,
and far away - Oh, the near horizon,
the mountains flick'r
Oh, in and out of vision,
as if I put them there,
a half remembered dream,
an imaginary comfort,
To a troubled mind.
But yet, to see them......
Causes pain in my heart,
a low steady screaming
the tuneless wail
that drowns out sanity.
For, as I watch
misted clouds make love to mountains,
caressing their base,
and stroking the peaks,
so clearly I see myself there,
above the rain,
standing on the high flat peak
watching the poetry
of rain clouds dancing
with the solid mountanous bulk,
green grass and rock,
and the hardy shrubs
about me here,
high in my mountain home.......
As the screams pitch
and intensity
reach insanity's note,
with frantic hands I attempt,
to stop up the holes,
massive gaping wounds,
they tear forth -
they leak bad gunky into the world,
and, denied my sanity,
denied my love,
(Oh, my mountains, sweet mountains who call.....
Oh, my home, a place all mine....)
I wish to inflame
disgust.
I wish to feel....
Dissatisfaction.
From my fellow humans
packed together.
I want you to know -
to see irrevocably -
I am not what I appear to be.

Flashes of memories
this is really deep - you have captured something which I cannot really put into words.
I love the imagery of your words K - you write with such a passion that is not seen in many. I am going back to read this again - one read is not enough.

Youve touched me deeply with your words....Im really trying now to only write what really inflames me, and Im trying so hard to push the imagery.....Instead of just "Oh, that'll do" I push and push until I get the image I really want. So I appreciate the recognition of my hard work!
And ditto dear one - there is a passion in your own poetry that is unparalelled.
