-J.L.S.
Are you here?
Such a huge mistake.
2001
Please
Point
To
The
Following
Example.
2001
It’s not
As simple
As it
Seems.
2001
No way
That this
Can be
Worked
Out?
2001
Poems of the misunderstood
Child of confusion—the
Lesser of the two evils;
Here I draw the line…
2001
I look outside the window
And see the wind rustling
Through the leaves of trees.
Let me blow away in the breeze
So that I can fly far away
From my oppressors.
The gentleness takes me to a
Sensual haven, where every
Part of my body is awakened
And revitalized.
I could stay outside and
Remain in this blissful state
Forever.
No one will be looking for me
Because they do not know that I exist.
4/21/01
Let me stay close, oh, to always
Be here by your side!
What else could give me a
Better sensation than to be
Held by such mystery?
And the pleasure shall always
Be mine as long as I don’t
Go any further—no stepping
Into the dark side.
I’ll figure out only what I need to
