he heard you say nothing.
that said it all.
he asked you why yio loved him
you said because it hurt less than not loving him
shallow cuts heal.
deep cuts leave scars
i am your butter knife baby
slash and slash
and gashes dont come
but it hurts just the same.
your shadow is bleeding to death.

i think you must know me somehow.

i have never met a perfect man
nor have i ever been,a
man i have met, siad perfection
is a metter of perception,
and love is only alive with trial.
i learned to love him,
and loved to learn from him
he taught me to live, then died
my grandfather.

you are welcome here always.

this is why we must already be free.
journeys never end, they become new journeys.
at dead ends we choose left or right but never stop and stay.
my name is widely known and not forged or stolen
i am not afraid of who i am.
i do not beleive in vengence
the failure of pricipal in not in the man, but the principal,
any good cause is greater than ourselves, but
those empowered to bring change are men too
seceptable to greed and hunger and lust and lonliness.
we are only men, and not the best by any stretch
we take this then, and make what little we can, hoping to be remembered .
i dont want to be a great man, just a man.

Out if interest you mentioned in one of you poems the crown and higher education and I was wondering if you are a lawyer. The way to write gives me this impression. You seem more intutive in some subjects. Some of the greatest writers stem from this profession.

in this race that noone wins, to be complacent is death. we must lokk to alternative soures for happiness and meaning. changing the world has become the only way. i endeavor to do just that

By the way you write I suspect you are European and that you live in a European country. There is not a whole lot of writing about other cultures in your work. It seems like your experiences in this regard is a bit stunted

Re: the grey lining

your poems become more intense it seems that you either love this person or you are concerned because you have no idea if this person is in some sort of danger. The way you write makes it come across like the other person has been very descriptive in frustration, hurt and anger yet to be treated clinically back by you.

What is it about you that makes this person want to invest energy in you. What is it about this person that unables you to emotionally not take heart or emotionally disconnect. I find it interesting that you seem to come across to this person giving this person the impression that you don't emotionally connect when you so obviously do.

You say it is to late and for other people not to make the same mistake. Why don't you write a letter to this person stating what sort of relationship you want where the boundaries are and what the rules are to be? I think for your greater peace amends with a higher understanding and awareness of each other is needed here

if the whole relationship is a ditch?
i have litle heart left for the scars and amputations, i save the remainder fo myself. and those who earn what they ask.

Re: the grey lining

The whole relationship can't ever be a ditch for if it was there would never have been one in the first place

for some it is hard to say no, for some, yes. as i said each writing is simple frustration put to words where i can read it later and watch myself on a delay. they are also seperate, and though some are related, most are individual from each other both in point and muse. some are written third person about myself, from someone elses point of veiw. some are meant to be what i would do given a chance, what i should do, or shouldn't have done.
however , on this vein you are still mostly true to it. my name is tad, and my friends have long since alluded to " the duality of tad" they call it, something similar to what you just described. i cannot explain this.

not too far off, but off.
i am twenty three, and studying at university in the southern united states, where i was born and have always lived. i have, however, in my many travels, been accused of being european. i am definitely in spirit. i am studying likewise, as a minor focus, politics, and french, spanish, italian, and german.
my major is english, which all major law institutions now avidly desire. i am very much out of place here and often misunderstood. i am popular for the person i was long ago, reputation preceding.
though close again, i beg you try to see each writing as a sleep deprived release, and though most are often about one person, usually each is for a different individual. if that makes any more sense.

Greatness is learnt behaviour coming from observation. One cannot choose to be great it comes from within and from a selected few who have had the pleasure of knowing greatness

i thik you get the wrong impression. i am afraid of little, and weakness is the least. i have never been weak. in fact i am often too strong for my own well being. i have a decade of experiences that boggle every one who hears of them. i do not conject out of the clear blue, i project from the rusting past into the shiny new. i use what i know to be happy, its just harder for me than some. i hate to se such suffering as i have known, in someone else.
