BUSINESS UNUSUAL a poem
BUSINESS UNUSUAL
She looks away
in search of a safe zone,
a place to feel human,
as men in black suits
intersect from three directions.
They look beyond her
with business as usual stares,
as if she doesn't exist.
Her eyes peer through
starched shirts,
inside their cold stiff hearts,
unmoved, unbound;
then she breaks free.
Her gaze follows
a path of scars,
a spider web of cracked asphalt
and shadows from above.
Only buildings pull in the sun,
the heat transfer
unable to permeate the road.
Thoughts of moonlit skies
warmed her best
until her stars were removed,
one by one;
then coldness came and clutched her,
leaving her lifeless.
Still, today,
her eyes seek salvation
on Fulton Street.

JAMMING A Poem
JAMMING
You walked away
after hearing my words.
Wanting to jam them down my throat,
I could no longer breathe.
My heart exploded
before I could explain.
Still, I offered what was left...
dead flesh to fill your fists.

for what is no more
~for what is no more~
limbs dipped in a vase
blindly begging
thriving on water alone
as there is less and less
to hold the petals
still holding bloom from
fading
withering
falling at your feet
as you walk away
hardly noticing
or remembering
the day first plucked
although not so long ago
drunk in the beauty of
for what is no more

POEM ABOUT ALISON
I Ain't Never Leaving Reidsville
With no heart to share
my special star,
I stole away to Reidsville
in the night,
through rains,
through thick of fog,
finding there,
in the wee hours of the morning
when all creatures are called away to sleep,
the biggest heart,
wrapped in the tiniest package,
a heart beating fast,
about to burst,
so much love to give
because of me
(or so I thought).
Loosening my heart,
untying the strings holding it,
releasing pieces,
as much as time allowed
before goodbyes;
that's when I heard
those words
told me
(and to the whole world)...
"I ain't never leaving Reidsville."
Understanding,
I left only exhaust fumes behind
for Reidsville,
but...
for one special heart,
that heart that did touch mine,
I left my special star
for worthy hearts to find
or...
as a gift to take
if ever Alison leaves Reidsville.

Return To Heart Cave a poem
RETURN TO HEART CAVE
SCRAMBLING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE;
AIR CRACKLING THROUGH CLOUDS OF DUST;
FEARED ALIEN OF EVIL HEARTS;
ANGERED INTO BATTLE, HE MUST.
A MONSTROUS CREATURE, WIDE TIGER-EYES,
SPARKS TRAILING FROM HIS TAIL;
SUMMONSED BY A WORLD OF NOISE,
TO PURGE, HE SHALL NOT FAIL.
DESCENDING UPON THE VILLAGE BELOW,
THUNDERING ON WITH DEADLY FORCE,
THE MOST INTERESTING OF DRAGONS
PIERCES DARKNESS, SCOPES HIS COURSE.
SORTING TRUTHS FROM FALSITIES
IN THOSE SOUGHT, HE SENSES FEAR;
HOT ENERGY STREAMING DOWN HIS SCALES;
SPARING A FAIR MAIDEN OH SO NEAR.
LOUDLY SOUNDING HIS WARNING,
MOMENTUM BUILDING WITHOUT REMORSE;
LIGHT PULSATING, NOSTRILS SPEWING,
HE LUNGES FORWARD TOWARDS THE SOURCE.
THROUGH A MIST OF CONFUSION, THE MAIDEN SEES,
ACCEPTING THE TRUE NATURE OF BEAST SO BOLD;
HER PURE HEART IS STIRRED ONLY BY HIS WARMTH,
AS THE DETAILS OF VICTORY CAN NOW BE TOLD.
SCOURING EVIL, THE DRAGON SCREAMS SUCCESS;
MAIDEN PRAYING THAT HE BE KEPT SAFE;
HER SMILES OF THANKFULNESS FOLLOW HIM
THROUGH HIS TRAILS HOME TO HIS HEART CAVE.

Well, I think for us to actually 'catch' each other, we'll need to make an appointment with each other. :)
Also, last time we met at Poetic Constellations' chat room. Do you use any chat services currently? Right now, the only one I use daily is yahoo messenger, but am quite willing to reactivate/newly sign up on one of the other services.
As for me teaching, I am a substitute, and with the school year JUST getting started, not many subs are needed. I'm in the most demand in April and May, when regular teachers are wanting to use their days off.
As for my Masters degree/teacher's license pursuits, that's currently on hold. Ever since "Pa"(my mom's dad, and dad's only help at their electronics repair shop) passed away and we STILL have been unable to sell the property... poor Dad works at the school board from 6-3 and then at the shop until he's able to come home that day. Now my lil brother is keeping the shop open 8-3 Tuesday-Friday(he randomly decided he's not working Mondays). My sister is juggling school and a nightshift job at Sam's Club, and ANY task, no matter how small, we ALL get to hear her COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN about it, so there's NO way I am going to get rides to school from her even if she had some way to transport my chair! Today to teach my family some sort of lesson, she stayed out all night just so she wouldn't be here this morning to get bro to work to "show us" that Nana(mom's mom, next door neighbor) can take Bro. She's 7 years younger than me, and she's already a crabby old (insert derrogatory term here). And I'm 33! She keeps going on and on about how much she can't wait to move out, but there is NO ONE keeping her here. Just her not wanting to pay rent. Or food.
I'm so sorry, sweet lady. I almost don't wanna send this. You didn't ask to hear all that whining.
On the good, my father installed a verticle bar on my wall that I can use to practice being on my feet with some more freedom that with my walker. Now, that may sound backwards, being stationary; but THAT is why it is more freeing. When I'm up on my walker, it's not just my balance I'm concerned with, I am also dealing with the walker moving. It made doing my squat excercises very difficult. A stationary pole though, allows me to do such excercises.
So...let's make an appointment ta chat please!!
~Eric
