A poem by Selphie Tilmitt
by Jennifer Douglas
(For Smokey... RIP)
Bizarre, barren wastelands
Once held to be my home
Now doomed to be lost and forgotten
To all but those who roam
And now the beauty, revered and loved
Is lost to an endless fury
Scarring deep in the flesh of innocents
With an evil, maladious jury
And why, tell me now, did this happen to you
Oh sweet edifice of mine
I want to go back, to see you, to love you
And taste your motherly wine
And left in the clatter and in the dust
Is a single memory
Of a time passed by and almost gone
Through forces, unforseen
This endless fury, will it be stopped
In it's rage that manipulates all
Is it faceless, tangeable, alive
And will it ever fall
And in the end, when all is lost
Will there be a world to return
And if there is, when life goes on
Will anyone even learn
My life crashed down that fateful day
Crushed and bruised and burned
When my friends are gone, beloved, lost
Who is there to whom I can turn?

kinky lesbian sex right now..... but really, don't sue me. My mouse
just died; that'd be cold man, really cold.
