No Bones.

Sometimes we are made aware of beacons in the rest of the dark. Like stars littered across the attics we trap ourselves in. Sometimes we chase rainbows with beggars eyes and wishes like children. Some people are like soup soaked bread crumbs and wool mittens with the fingers cut out. The rest of us are chimney soot. And they are ‘chim chim cheree‘. They are song filling every corner of the antique shop. Silver under tarnish and weights and measures balancing on the hands of the scale suspended from the spear of a woman in white robes with blue eyes that match the sky when we stare at it and it usurps the corners of our eyes and we are made aware of how small we are as we get lost in how complete it is when it is with out clouds with silver linings that never seem to follow through to rain. And some of us? Some of us are rain. And thunder that shakes your soul. And images of gods in black and white that burn themselves onto our minds for us to study with our eyes closed. And some of us are doing the best we can. And some of us are not us. But are the others. And we would be lost without them to point beyond red sails on sundown ocean horizons, just before the world turns blue. And some are the pops and cracks between the notes of Coltrane on Vinyl. And you. You smell of confessional walls and a nursery. You smell of camp fire blankets and bruised roses. You move like corner of the eye shadows and windshield wipers with no chance of beating the rain. You write like stone tablets and feathers. Blown bubbles and spun webs. And you feel like chance. And love. And strength. You change like ropes on ship decks and tarot meanings from gypsy to gypsy. And you are beautiful. And beautiful. And beautiful. And everything. And everything. And everything. Strong like ropes on yard arms of old ships in ancient seas. And you go and you take us there. And we go, because we want to see too. And we want to be full on wild flowers and raspberries. And we want you to show us the line on our palm that separates the dark from the light. And we want bed time stories and lullabies. And with my eyes. And with your own too. And more importantly. You. You are the place where there is hardly no day time and hardly night. Things half in shadow and things half in light. On the roof tops of forever. Coo. What a sight…

I think you know Phil Webster. He's an old friend of mine. I've followed your posts for a while now - a year, perhaps two. Your words capture a lot of intense thoughts/emotions. It's beautiful. Just wanted you to know.

Joyful.
 
Thank you. Thank you very much. I needed that. Check out my LJ if you like.

Reminds me of my ex... in the dark of night, I can see and feel him as if he is hovering over me from another realm. It scares me how quickly I can drown in those memories. And then I sit, as tonight, grasping for air, desperate for land.
 
sean-y, I found it.

PS, I call you sean-y all the time, just not to your face-- it's a product of the only-child-whiny-voice.

Maybe we'll laugh it, or cry it, or bleed it. But get to it. Now. Write your story down. The rest of us need it.
