tell me my friend
of the notes you
saw written with lemon juice
on the parchment
waiting for the night to
make the words clearer

and I'll tell you...

I too have been subject to
synthesized personal psalms
to my soul
and now I'm left looking for
substance
something real
this digitally mastered
processed creation is procreating
a blues song that I wished I had fogotten

she never knew the song I sang
for her even though she listened
to it myriad times
maybe she listened to it with the
wrong ear or her own
unsyncopated cadence

right
right
left right
left left left
right

the chambers of her heart
locked me down and tortured me
with what I would never feel

reciprocity

she'd never sing the song
I sang to her / she never
took a moment to learn the words.

don'tcha hate that. when you know the words are perfect...but you can't get the music to match...so the lyrics seem off key and the drum beat is off beat...and one heart flutters while the other goes into an irregular fibr(il)lation pattern.

some of us just don't take the time to learn the other's song.:(

THAT'S REAL, Blak.

I know this all too well!!! I'm afraid the word "relate" is only relative because to me that word is in some ways -- not-- strong enough to express just how I feel when I do read your "comparing notes"....

How wonderfully you have articulated
your version(s) to me!!

:heart: N2
