April 1988 - page 3

come...  let's channel our thoughts
into a consciousness that seeks the
positive side of life instead of the
negative that is so often the case.


tears ease down your cheeks as you
change into more comfortable thoughts
and you pull me along
and my scared little world stumbles
over its own apprehensions.


she heard me crying across town and came
to see if there was anything she could do,
she heard me crying across town
and thought it was her fault,
she heard me crying across town
and her feeling comforted me,
she heard me crying across town and
knew that she couldn't really help.


he behavior caused some discussion from her
neighbors and her mother tried not to interfere,
she cared for a married man bring him home.


once the kids were in bed
her entertainment arrived
and she wasn't sure why
but was glad she knew him.



and the man and his wife
seniors they were,
listened to the young man
tell his clever story,
faces showed their interest
even though things hadn't 
changed much since
they were kids his age.


their hearts were differently constructed
as were their moral obligations...
as opposites they became adversaries but
their contracts bonded them for life.


she dyed her hair and the make-up
on her face hid the natural beauty,
and the lipstick and what was done
to her eyes made her unappealing,
she never knew who he was or why
he left after he asked her "why?"


breathe deeply
the season's change,
rings of uncertainty proclaim
our laments of innocence,
all persistent and unassuming,
let the dark side guide
towards the candle light
and to the end of an
non disclosing night.


dreams bend with the rainfall
as our illusions of natural erotica
is washed away and only the
earth will be violated after
this afternoon is finally over.
