Every once in a while, I write poetry straight from my head and leave it where I wrote it when i'm writing an e-mail or in the message board. These are some of them that I have picked up off the ground of whereI left them. Now I dust them off and put them in the china cabinet of works that is apricotpie.com in no apparent order,
I wish to steal the sky
I really, really, try
I reach and reach
A lesson tries to teach
Only God can posses something so high
Can you feel it?
I can feel nothing
Do you know it?
I can know nothing
Can you hear it?
I can hear nothing
Do you smell it?
I can smell nothing
Can you taste it?
I can taste nothing
Do you see it?
I can see nothing
If you can and do, will you help me?
I can rely on no one else
This was an attempt to comfort a guy friend of mine. It's from HIS perspective. Not mine. Just wanted to clarify, yeah.
I walked home
Alone
I saw her there
Alone too
We talked of things irrelevant
I wanted to speak of my love
I stayed silent though all my soul yearned to speak
But I was scared, frightened
By all the possibilities
What if I told her and she laughed?
What if I told her and she cried?
What if I told her and she said I was fool?
What if?
What if?
I wish that I had spoken
And I now I curse myself
I call myself a coward
But I was just scared, frightened
By all the possibilities
I wishes
That fishes
Who swim in the sea
Will go far away and just leave me be

They were all so serious, and then I read the last one, and almost laughed out loud. I love them, Keri dear. Good job.
