amateur dreamer

by heather - Taurus

i want to define the world
with black and white
    images
pasted inside
the shutter-lensed
cleansing
of my own tortured 
mechanics

i want to slice off bits and 
chunks of Earth
grab them up and greedily gobble
until i know
the hows-whys-and-wherefores
of light
  Variation

i want to define liberation.
 liberation in the faces of those
who falter,
unaware,
 with a certain casting of sorrows
on their souls
  encrusted 
by the mud of un-Faith

and the memories i will make stand
in sepia-toned bittersweet
Heartbreak   will cry:
   "bleed me free
    bleed me open
    cut me whole."

Reason for writing:

    its actually rather simple despite the complex nature of the poem..i want to try my hand at photography...and these are the reasons why.  if anyone knows ANYTHING about photography, i would love to know, so please email me if you have any information.  :)
