a poem, for Jennifer...always....and never
Submitted by JaneDoe on Fri, 09/11/2009 - 11:21amthis is a love poem I wrote. hell, it's the only love poem I've ever written. it was written for Jennifer, the only girl I've ever let in. Yeah, I write short poems and if you want to make a deal of it I'll tell you more in two sentences than you could tell me in four paragraphs. Just kidding lol really I support all my fellow artists, writers, poets, and what have yous. I just like to talk shit sometimes.
puerto rico.
sun sets in your eyes,
and I can see them shine-
but I'd need a rowboat
to get to you.
I met her in jail in a different town, which was sort of odd me being in jail anyhow. But I dreamt about her for almost three years before I met her. I was doing dream experiments, you know that controlling your dreams or whatever. I put a mark on my hand every day for about 2 weeks and sometimes wrote the words "soul one" also. I began dreaming about her and all I knew was what she looked like, what her voice sounded like, how she made me feel, and a few personal details of her life- all from my dreams and dreaming this every night for years. When I walked into the jail containment area, I immediately saw her. Everything from my dreams matched up with what she told me and all of the senses were on fire. But she and I both have a lot of issues to go through and I don't know if I will ever be with her. And I don't know if I will love this deeply again. I feel worthless, a useless fool. I believe that I was meant to save her and so far I haven't. I have failed, miserably. Hopefully someday she will come back and we will go away somewhere together, leaving our pasts in the rear view mirror.
