Signs Of Expression, What Is The Frequency?
I really did think I could save her
the positive vibes like a blanket of comfort
that my concern and sincere affection
could dissolve the straight jacket of doom
Found books to educate my mind
consulted with experts on human brain
created an arsenal of items
that in the past provided deep and long smiles
Waited patiently for those times when her need was carnal
didn't press the issue when it was not
spontaneous gestures and calming tones
unlimited in my good deeds
But like invading Russia in the dead of winter
impossible was the only result found
for when the shelf is bare nothing has it's limits
even the worst pie needs ingredients
The soul was barren the heart has been hallowed
the reaction to the accumulation of cuts and bruises
a protective shell has emerged, a thick outer skin
all my weapons of positive penetration have been for naught
For the residual of what has happened
is not even negative
even negative I could deal with
she has been claimed by indifference
My trinkets and gestures do not resonate
as if the emotion has been buried so deep
reality is those feelings can not be accessed via external sources
the tragedy of Celeste proceeds on a solitary course
the positive vibes like a blanket of comfort
that my concern and sincere affection
could dissolve the straight jacket of doom
Found books to educate my mind
consulted with experts on human brain
created an arsenal of items
that in the past provided deep and long smiles
Waited patiently for those times when her need was carnal
didn't press the issue when it was not
spontaneous gestures and calming tones
unlimited in my good deeds
But like invading Russia in the dead of winter
impossible was the only result found
for when the shelf is bare nothing has it's limits
even the worst pie needs ingredients
The soul was barren the heart has been hallowed
the reaction to the accumulation of cuts and bruises
a protective shell has emerged, a thick outer skin
all my weapons of positive penetration have been for naught
For the residual of what has happened
is not even negative
even negative I could deal with
she has been claimed by indifference
My trinkets and gestures do not resonate
as if the emotion has been buried so deep
reality is those feelings can not be accessed via external sources
the tragedy of Celeste proceeds on a solitary course

Thanks ---it was more based on shared experiences of friends, and the drummer of the band I was in when living in CA, who ended his life with a gun shot.

All those efforts for nothing! Everything you've worked towards turned out to be futile. Ai,I feel you,J. More then you know.

As I indicated to Firebyrd, the bulk of what went into this poem I got third person.

Well then, in that case, I feel for those people. The drummer's happily never after ended so tragically :( and you reflected their experiences so wonderfully

Not sure why but drummers seem linked to tragedy more frequently then other players in a band. (with a few exceptions here and there)

This was heavy, n very well expressed
I'm a bit more aware of those futile attempts
for closeness myself, although I try not to dwell on that reality...

Thanks; as we all know through living, the ways of the human brain are far from exact. There is always that piece that can cause variation.

Perhaps I picked up a thing or two from having parents who were social workers. (I am sure if you asked dad he would say it is from him having the UC Berkeley education)
I appreciate the comment--- maybe a bit more then I deserve!

Every now and then I have to change things up! (laugh) Probably not enough to loose the label as very predictable, but oh well...
