[hometext] => This poem is not my usual style... let me know what you think...
[bodytext] => At an Arm's Length And the man in the alley behind the faded blue dumpster is looking for life, looking for love Where sweet only applies so sickeningly, and needles are never used for sewing... Where a home is never a house, and the heart long decayed under pretentious glances... And the girl at her friend's house, she in his bed, he in her, is looking for love looking for life Where to be touched is to be loved, to be felt is to feel... ...I love you... Where words have no meaning, standing, shivering, alone in the rain the next day... And the boy walking through the shadows down the hall to the holding cell is looking for life looking for love Where life is measured in grams, ounces, and pounds, and crystal is not the girl next door... Where a bloody form in the ditch symbolizes power, and sanity lies in the number of hits taken and the number of hits carried out... When, from an arms length, you see these eyes, you see yourself too far away... simplistically synonymous, Only then will you find life...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
