(close to you)
sitting up in bed,
i sketch the dreams
you keep from me.
the things you refuse
to share.
you know,
you smile
most those moments
when your sleep is deepest.
(furthest from me) there,
beside me.
those moments,
(close to you)
i am
most alone.
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
