Rock Garden

by PunkyThespian - Libra

I only meant to come for an hour
To sit here - a part of you
Simply trying to reach
(With little arms) over a quiet stone,
Reach past the surfaced past
...But hours collect little arms
Into a grave embrace.

I believe in you - I believe
...But in you its been concieved
The birthplace of negative space

I pray to you
Past His deaf ears
Past the bands of relativity
Whispers - meant not to ask (or beg)
But to seduce the answers 
From a tight lipped majesty

I believe in you - I believe
...Please tell me now so I can leave
How do I walk barefoot and unafraid?

Eyes to see
(through the shells)
Lips to speak
(twice thought words)
Fingers to touch
(scanning over broken stone)

I'm afraid...

There's only one stone,
One place of grass,
One beginning...
But it's a shared place
And there's infinite negative space
Between all real numbers...
0 and 0...one and two

I believe in you - I believe
...But now every fiber interweaved
Compiles this pile of broken glass

I possess fingers that can't control their place
A mind that can't maintain pace
Stuck thoughts in a think place
Will I ever return to clarity?
Will I stop seeing the reflection of
One or one I love
In the surface of a cloudy stone?

I believed in you... I believed.

Please return me to the place I lived
Take me back to the stream in your backyard
Please take me to a forgotten playground
And the days of fairy dresses and silly poems
Back to playing make believe with believable friends
Please take me back to what i never thought was imaginary

Please take me back or let me leave.

Reason for writing:

    This one is long, but I wrote it for a friend of mine that killed him self. (Cole- 5/10/82- 5/10/01) I miss you Cole, I pray for you every night.
