Damnit! okay so anyway z - i'm a little extreme here, maybe it's just the cycle of the moon or just me being manic and just wishing someone else in my tiny sphere of existence could give a damn and FEEL someones ache besides thier own. i think i get carried away but it just hurts so fucking much to see others hurting...i hate but damn if she walked right out of her..shit another time and place and i could write that shit here but let's leave THAT radiant spirit out of this... still though..weren't you just torn down inside by what elegance wrote? ... 051219 ... zeke oe: i was commenting on the elegance of her prose. and yes, i feel the power of her words. have you ever known me to comment directly on angst and it's twin progeny self loathing and narcissism? i live my own drama, make my own movies. what you do i value. you do it well. do not, however, ask me to be you. i, simply, cannot. elegance: your words are beautiful. you make very vivid renderings. i feel privileged to have that window which you have opened here. thank you. i hope to read more. 051220 ... avan Z - Hey man ride the bitter screaming stream to oblivion. It's the only way to free your own true poetic voice. I mean if poetry is the music of the soul then you've got to touch that thing with a hot iron in order to let that or those dream pangs, and uh.. the ghost of destiny ring deep down in your soul, stir the ol' aura up, drink from other streams, i know you're a brilliant cerebral guy but even cerebral types can have communion with the cosnstellation of cares and concerns that daunt us and stalk us like 50 foot shadows of the fallen ones casting a great pall over our souls and it's hel trying to shout down or out of that inpenetrable shadow...god just look at some of the really if not inspired at least ambitions forays into the worlds of dense and didactic tautology that I've driveled out here in blather. OK. You'll feel better being YOU and I'll just leave it at that. ... 051221 ... z i take it, then, that you are of the opinion that i have not yet found my voice. that is a reasonable statement. i am too close to my own work to judge it by any "objective" standards. i can say that i am deeply passionate about some of what i do here and that in spite of it's quietude (relative, for instance, to the brilliant and pyrotechnic work that elegance wrote above), it is very emotional. for me, joy and angst are all there. perhaps it is your reading of my works which is lacking. then again, perhaps my passions are flat and joyless to you. you will have to decide that for yourself. thank you for the implied compliments (i think). as i have said before, i very much appreciate your work and look forward to it always. 051221 ... oE Nah man, you're cool..i just been really kinda manic lately and it's been boosted by the melancholy and the season and what not...i just get peeved at the emotional and linguistic filters we erect to process our emotions and block those that are too abstract and or unpalatable...i do it myself..so maybe i was uncoiling against an aspect of myself that i see in some of your more cerebral and detatched and or clinical offerings. ... 051222 ... oldephebe believe me z you don't EVER want to be me, be well, be brilliant be yourself my friend - my spelling sucks doesn't it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you pray and ask for death..you want it to rain black and hard upon your world only you didn't expect it to wear such a lovely face, or have such an incredible soul betrothed to god, betrothed to bishops and kings and sweeps up an entire village of children into her ocean expanse, her heart so full and so empty and so giving and nurturing to every child...but still betrothed to bishops and kings and dingdoms beyond the pale and rach of my fractured littel life...this is what i believe..she is so far beyond me and above me and i would not dar poison her world with the taint of my shadow upon it..stay in the light..stay..in what feeds you stay in what must be honored by god and man.. it's just too much anymore..damn..i have wept over these things..how did i get here..what fragment of light..of super heated..damn i mean what are the rhetorical implications of all this allegorical abstract apology or apologia. i am sorry and i do not yet know for what? i mean you step out you stumble out bent and goofy and aloof and you are slowly struck by thunder and this ember, this shade or color or diffraction of burning light and you see it cast from her eyes and poured from her soul and how do you say these windows were all but blackened and nearly seladed shut..what did you do? do not throw your heart into any songs for me for you will only wind up loving what has been dead, what is dead and only resuscitated recently for one purpose..i believe and that would be to serve the cause of bishops and kings and minister to the greater good. damn this is going to kill me..i didn't want anything to touch me..they think its arrogance or being dismissive but it's not..maybe..maybe..i'm just trying not to get in the way..trying not to screw up somebodyies perfect life..trying not to disrespect the province of that bishop and kingdom he's trying to build..one kingdom, one queen, one light and one sight, one sun in her sky, in his sky and one lord to honor above and beneath it..so that leaves me ...nothing... as it should. and you say..i was just wandering along back into life..roused from my death bed, i escaped the silver scythe glittering and grinning at my elbow and in my ear..you must not be fond of shadow..of thinly breathing life..what you see as arrogance or dismissiveness or even as the coals of anger quickly roused to flame, to life, the tears of grief quickly built to sorrows burning current..is just that there is just so much death..so much of me falling down fast inside and there is another..mother and mistrees and architect of my pain and torment..al ost like some gothic fantasy stepping out of a portrait and here upon this canvas that muse..for that is what stoked these..oh god i just wnat to say wash your eyes and rise from that river of sorrow and turn away from me you equisitly broken flower or DON"T ever turn the light of your heart upon me..stay were you are..for where i am i wouldn't wish for you. every breath i take is beating me down.. as for my muse, my bruising burning muse, well, THAT is a wholly separate thing - i am a relic of a rotted life come wandering in from the cold white mountains blanketed in the silver knife of winter. that's it so any pretensions of greatness or talent or calling or anything else is..laughable - ... 051222 what's it to you? who go blather from
