Lightening Shines on Guilt and Love Long Ago Spilt.A Poem by Ben Lingemann
Falling behind in my arbitrary designs, staring blankly at the passing signs.
Lines wind along the way, like an ongoing lie. I'll get as far away from you as I can, that's my best plan. Another cheap motel that I'll stay in will make no new impressions and I keep paying for my digressions. There are certain memories of you where I dwell, they seem to muddle and swell. Muddy footprints lead to my room as I come in from a thunderstorm, its in these dreary days I end up drunk and leering. In a forest clearing I see you peering and naked, your body seems to call; the end is nearing. Towns melt into the past, nothing new rears in the future, I wonder how long I'll last. I find it hard to absolve my sins, my heart is held together with pins. We have traveled to Spain and under starry night skies have lain, I know now I'll never rub away this stain. © 2011 Ben LingemannAuthor's Note
