Self Indulgence

[McPhisto's Advocate]

9/10/2001

Words used to bubble up like water
Soaking my inner aquifer
Before flowing across the page.

A miraculous thing it was
To see my images and feelings
Dance in the hearts of others -
To know I was understood.

There's a place I used to go
but I can't find it
The world dried up my words
I am a husk -
What use communication
When the message is so black,
And the only ones who listen
Heard it first.

Thanks for posting this, I love the last verse...I don't think your words have dried up.
