Freedom

i have the freedom to write poetry
it doesn't make logical sense that
i would hurt someone with my writing
a place i can pretend, daydream, and
be anything i want to be, however i
want it to be -- even if i have to
make you up in every word,
create your presence as a G-d
creating the world... with every
sigh and every pause.  i have no
control as to how other people may
read into my poetry and i can not
worry about other people --
because i don't write for other people,
i write for me.  

so here's my poem dearest,
they have played every game
like a broken record player
they continue to hunt and
continue to stalk, but i
can only plead: love.
this love is not obsession,
this love is not imaginary,
it is love divine beyond
the ordinary, G-d given,
G-d choosen... G-d has
shown me a map to live
and breath again, to be
brave with fools masks
and make believe connections,
ties, and pasts... that
i don't have a role in,
i don't belong in,
and i never will...
i only belong here,
alone and by myself,
with my own creation of
this love.  After accusations,
and after confusions, the
only present i have to offer
to you in return for my
shame and error is love divine.

dedicated to the ghost that haunts
me in my sleep and peers in and out
of every corner, every path, every
shadow, every sound, every silence,
every face, every name, every moment
of music playing on a broken guitar.
