One Man's Lyric

One Man's Lyric

A Poem by Jeff

My dirty hands

Touch her clean flesh

My eyes seek

Her lightening eyes


I reach for reality

Pull back my dreams

Surrounded by loneliness

This low man's feelings


I can't forget

The one

Who ran away

So long ago


I confess to

These pages

I lie to the rain

That falls below


I write to you

Words full

Of meaning

And unrequited love


What will be

Will surely be

What will come

Will come to pass

. hallelujah ! ... it's a masterpiece, jeff ... reminds me of the excellence of a track i so love ... "behind blue eyes" ... which goes ... "no one knows what is life to be a bad man - to be a sad man" ... and only reinforces one thing ... that sometimes we're so hurt by the lack of sensitivity of other people ... that we feel this way ... and when we write about it ... even though we may not say so ... we do establish our brilliance ... not just as poets ... but as humans ... you are both, jeff, and spectacular at that ...
