I hear you man.:) This poem made me smile fondly.
You have taken a chunk, cleaned it of any mess and
placed it here for the world to see. And realize.

You know noone can offer you anything much on this. Except smiles. Yes, it will make many smile.

Light,

Sumeet

Wow..thanka much sumeet.. Wasnt all that much smiling going on for me as I wrote it, but glad it translated as such

Well sir. There are so many types, you see. In my case it was a wry smile. :) Be good, ole'friend.

I actually like the hell out of this.

I've come back to think about it, like, four times.

That means it's effective.

I'll be back, because I haven't figured it out, and I'm super-neurotic like that.

IN THE MEANTIME... kickass.

Thanks betty... Forced myself to leave this..this did happen I am best friends with a woman that I thought id marry ( did marry in my heart and as an eccentric weirdo artist thats good enough)..99% good and dandy, the other percent cripplingly painful... But also there is metaphor,always a goddamned metaphor. Feel like I used to be a much more "pure" artist,shit person. Still good friends with art, but we def dont get down like we used to

Oh damn that's good. Short and sweet

Gigi your too kind,thank ya much

Soon enough skybaron you will kiss the sky. Best for now it is an unrequited romance.

Spose your right steve n thanks.. Ya know the kicker she does feel romantically towards me,just knows its not for the best,im not where I should be.stupid maturity and discipline.(def lost track of if im talking bout metaphor or literal by this point)

I felt the chilling in that ambiguity where you two left off. Brevity here has served you well. Thanks for the memorable read.

Thank you jolais...so glad on your take,.i am usually a champion of ambiguity..not so much here

Short and to the point. I haven't read much of your work, but this is a good write. Very real, and slightly chilling. Keep it up.  :)

Thanking ya inna kindly manner

"I climbed the sky, it wasn't just a dream." was how I said it. "A cemetary where I married the sea" was how Anthony Keidis (Red Hot Chili Pepper) said it. Married to your art... it's something alot of us can't escape. It's vicious comrade, when your mistress is your muse. She can touch you, smile upon you, but see her eyes, see her response to how well you honor her gifts? Lemme know when that happens because I've been waiting for that level. I like the part where you can't see her anymore. Sometimes I think Inspiration is married to too many of us and that's why she doesn't come around enough!

Again grand words my friend...and as she has so many suitors we really do need to jump through hoops and build hoops hold hoops invent hoops and then make the hoops appealing...daunting task to say the least!

Nice, lightbaron.

Thank ya much
