i sense you stand in
more than muted silence gazing somewhat
facetiously
at the ruins that i'm forcefully
refurbishing.
with the confusedness of maybe that shrouds my
logic
you dim the light
and project me into your palm

LOVE the poem. I really think you should do a book - compilation of your poetry. Here is my favorite of yours from around the same time:
Love - 2 AM -
there is half of me
somewhere
lost and confused
full blinded by lonliness
he quests for the answer
chasing leads through
all kinds
I have left a trail of smiles
he will not fail.
Thanks! I don't think I have a copy of that poem with me anywhere, so, nice to have it here.
Funny you should mention a book. I have put together a little chap book of my new stuff. Not quite the same as my old stuff. You can get hard copy or unlocked PDF here: http://www.lulu.com/content/1070078. If you prefer the PDF, let me know and I'll email it to you. :-)
Perhaps you were thinking something more extensive?
I mean an actual book of all your poetry. I looked at the chap book (I am not familiar with the term), and it is nice. Have you ever contacted a commercial book publisher and submitted your writings? Poetry or short stories or novels, etc. I'm talking about a major publishing house. You are probably thinking, of course I have, but I thought I would suggest it. Bring in the big guns, so to speak. Anywho, I enjoy reading your poetry. It's nice for me to get a perspective of life I could never come up with.
