This is not an autobiographical poem in the sense that nothing has recently happened in my life to reflect this; however, most who have come to the end of a long relationship in a torturous mannner have probably felt this way.
So, how did I write it? The heater vent in my bedroom had a problem. It was making a racket, and I had to do something before I went out of my mind. Therefore, I wrote a poem inspired by the noise. :-)
Heat breezes out affection's dusty vent...
We cannot sleep away the clatter--
our passion hissing; it sputters up ghosts
conjured in final acts of desperation,
futile grasps at love scenes,
that stumble here between us
like bar queens hatching schemes,
drunk on a john's dime.
They leave the body of our tender memories,
gaze at us as we stare at circles above our bed,
a design you painted by hand,
then vanish in snaps,
the sound an old man hears,
his brittle femur cracking, and
he sees too late the walk
gleams of ice, and
he has fallen,
fallen to death.
Grrrrrrl, if YOU don't tune into PowerTalkFM.com's "He Said, She Said" and don't get to talk with the producer and the host, I'm gonna have to come get you and drive you to Atlanta! You got SO much to say, so hurry up and tell the rest of the world about it.
(Then write a novel and make a bunch of money like Toni Morrison!)

I wish I could say I knew what these feelings are all about, but I don't. When you are robbed of your life, and have had no romance except once, and that was mainly a friendship, instead of a marriage, then you don't know too much about relationships. Although I would say, I guess it is what is in your heart at the time. Godddd I have missed so much experiences in life. But I am about the find out what it will be like as a fiancee to a man who has nothing but love in his eyes for me, And I, dollar signs in mine for him...oops I mean the feeling is mutual,(giggles). No I'm just kidding of course. Any maninterested in me, has my love (giggles again). May the Lord be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((HUGS))), Barbie
