he and I are not linked in any other way than our love for poetry....somehow he saw a challenge in my poem and decided that he needed to reply to it.
Allow me in sweet silence...to introduce you to the work of
GMV Foolish Lad.
blink...
blink...
eyes come unglued,
for whom do you weep when you see these visions?
What? You feel in your heart the seagull's cry?
Where can you go to ease the pain?
When do you want me to plunge into you?
Why then shall I your hatred cut?
I turn and look to the sky anew
"...What happenes to a dream deffered?
...maybe it just sages like a heavy load....
Or does it explode???"
So the story, sadly, ends...
unwillingly...
true, they rend the heart and batter the soul.
Long echos of the bitter schisms
that tore us down, swallowed us whole.
Fool your feet are chained to mother earth.
Here you are and here you lie,
locked in the cradle of love's new birth.
You are sitting amongst far different flowers,
I eat my lotus and forget your name,
secreted in my new lover's bower.
the time is past the moment gone...
No longer young, nor innocent nor true,
I look into sunset and call it the dawn.
Because I care because I care...
why then this infernal but?
Because no longer do I dare...
but I do not see the phoenix against my name...
What happens to unrenewed ashes I wonder,
what happens to the unreflected flame...?
Does it dry up, like a raisin in the sun?
Or does it fester like a sore and then run...
..or do they remain friends?
