Another written Slam Poem/topic: "Love", to write a poem on "Love" w/out using the word "love"...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Somehow (I don't recall quite when) it seems I died.
and then, you ...
You came and stayed and from the ashes of this pit you pulled and pulled and still, you pull...
still, still...
The truth of what is keeps me merely staring downward as you pull and pull and ...
Ah, you are wearing away at me and your grip (that pull) begins to force my eyes awake...
yet...
As you pull, I refuse to take the rope as I've hung myself and others before, again and again...
and you...?
And you look, now and ask with those eyes, determined, somehow to do this...
why am I not ready?
You are not the others, no...yet, they still live, here, always, somewhere within this box bound tightly to my chest.
I am Pandora
Still, You Stay...
So I reach and take that rope and climb as you pull and look to those eyes... And I begin to pray and hope that their blindness is knowing how to believe.
make me believe!
Please, you must show me that it is real-- this! You! reaching, pulling, asking, "Come?!"
yes...
Quickly, close your eyes as I close my own and I will come to you climb your tears and learn once again...
are you ready?
