Parting thought

Copyright © by Amy J. Devon, September 19, 2001

Here's a parting thought
I just had a moment,
a special moment with someone
I agree it was a fleeting moment,
but it was moment to
wrap around the ball of tape
that's my life

She reached out,
so far, so far
I could feel her,
feel her pain and sorrow
In a moment I saw
what being kicked around
does to a soul

She reached out,
so far, so far

I could feel her,
feel her pain and sorrow
In a moment I saw
what being kicked around
does to a soul

Here's a parting thought
I experienced a moment
I entertained a movement
I heard a cry so moving
A silent cry,
so sad, so dry
Someone that has everything
to protect,
yet nothing to love, to leave

She pushed out,
so fast, so fierce
I could feel her,
feel her rage and hatred
In a parting thought
I knew without a doubt
what being loved
does to a soul

Emotional Graffiti

Copyright © by Amy J. Devon, September 19, 2001

i still see your image in
bright vivid colors
when ever I think about
what you did to shape my life...

i still feel your touch when
i'm touched by another
either skin to skin
or heart to heart...

i can smell your sweet, tangy
persperation and labor
when another is near me
another so like you

all my life i've wanted to than you
for the beautiful gifts
you have given me
so freely

all my life i've longed to remember
the passion that
you showed me
so effortlessly, it seemed

i want to thank you for the
emotional grafitti
that you painted on me

i want to give you so much
i want to show you so much
i want to touch you how
you touched me
when i was so young and
innocent

i want to thank you for the
emotional grafitti
that you painted on me

you taught me how important
it was to hate and to fear
your blows taught me
volumes of my worth

if i learned that you were passing
you were on your last breath
you were finally going away
i would be the first to run to you
to be by your side
to watch your soul sink away

because of your
emotional grafitti
that would make me
so very happy

U push me
into black & white
U squeeze me
into the limiting box
U create for me

No choice, no freedom
without your distaste & distain
U strip from me
my desire & sense of me & mine

Yesterday U forced on me
a taste of false hope & wisdom
Today U thrust into me
your heated stares & acusations

Well, fuck you & your
bias & blasie (sp) views
I spit on your grave distaste
& pose a question of honest
reflexion

I have as much right to
be who I am, & what I feel
as you do to not feel
To urinate & poison in
your genetic river

I will not be your
Andron the good doggy
