You made me young, par Icarus

You made me young

Took away all my excuses

You brought me to life

Demolished ever inhibition

You taught me to love

I didn’t even believe in all that

You filled me with desire

Like I hadn’t ever wanted anything before

There are so many things I’d like to say to you But when I see your face My mind just goes blank I’m terrified

The million incandescent bulbs that line Gibbs St from Barrett Place to Main go out just after midnight. Stragg… smokers sit or stand in the alley

One more meeting Just one more Rendezvous And the courage To speak up

Blessed to see Even momentarily To touch The greatest of heights reached by two people of one mind

Nothing to see in your Reflection The only life you possess Is what you Devour

Are you the person I met? The person I fell in love with? Were you really just someone else; Trying to be what you thought I w… Are you anyone?

2015-01-21-21-07-36_poetryx Wondering Wandering Quagmire My own creation

You’re still My favorite person A thing Impervious to change Your memory

It didn’t happen all at once The stress of impact And the heat of friction Combined Has a natural result

Does it really matter Whose fault it was What’s been done Can’t be undone Anyways

The two of them sat face to face by the banks of the narrow stream smoking cigarettes, throwing stone… and dismantling

What are you selling Everybody is That thing that you have That’s icing and fizz Every encounter

To have kept you Would have cost me Nothing To have lost you

Who am I now? I’m not the man I was before You’ve changed something Done something big You’ve opened up a door
