Blue Guitar Poems

I am, where, once before, things happened
The candle crackles as if to say
Do not pretend
This place holds no memory
...

Who cooks for you?
You ask
But who do you cook for?
Grammar aside
...

There is an ultimate beauty
In that out of nothing,
Literally nothing,
But stardust left to its own devices
...

4.

Nothing to fear but fear itself.
Who knew
Just how true it was?
Reaching out and in
...

The sea may rise and fall
In great sweeping arcs now,
Where once were ragged edges,
Joined together as if by madmen.
...

7.

She let me down easy,
Though she did not have to.
First love, last love, lost love.
Time heals all wounds, but it leaves those of its own.
...

The pressure graws at me
Not gushing, but welling up
Seeping in through cracks
In a wall never thick enough.
...

Beginnings they say, are delicate
But what of beginnings' first frail moments?
When one slip
Sends tumbling the dominos
...

The Best Poem Of Blue Guitar

A Candle's Reminder

I am, where, once before, things happened
The candle crackles as if to say
Do not pretend
This place holds no memory
And so the mind fetches the worn key
And fumbles in the frozen lock
If you must, it says
Preferring to keep its distance
Embrace the bittersweet memory of earlier poems
When heartbroken verse remained unwritten
Dwell
Dwell in that viscous and ephemerally transparent wax
Flame perilously close to death by errant draft
And know that this is the way of the world
Trace her memory and carve it ever deeper
Over
And over
Then pretend it never happened.
And find true comfort in this.
