    No Need For A Lie

    My head finds this pillow,
    not soft
    but mahogany cold...
    iridescent...
    alive with thoughts of yesterday
    with no remorse for the weary.

    Outside lies the days mist.
    Filled with dandelion-ash,
    drifting to the window's edge
    to sneak a peek at my entourage...
    the dance of memories I take
    night after endless night

    The moon sings a lullaby
    but the words are remnants...
    only taunting
    my already trailing sanity.


    One would think the BLUE
    would fade away some evening...
    leave me at peace.
    At the very least empty...
    void of yesteryear's wishes.

    Only...

    I find my mind is too astute
    and my soul too wistful
    to believe such a lie
    as forgetfulness.

    Ooo, nice language. I LOVE the second stanza. And the way you capitalized blue, obviously brings a thought to mind.

    WOW..., its like a breath of fresh air. That was an incredibly well written and beautiful poem. It was filled with emotion and portrayed very well in your articulation. I wish I had half the talent that you have. I look forward to reading more. =)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
