All right,
how do I begin
penning a revolution,
that paradigm shift
world spun backwards,
black and white truths
inverted,
dogmas interplurally
connected for a while?

How do I capitulate
in words on paper,
like I did
I did I did
back then,
in fingers trailing
down an arm
to rest on whitened fist
and reassure
a dead end
cornered soul...

          It's all right
          all right all right...

          It always was,
          and will be
          forever...

How do I ever
ever ever script
that kiss, that kiss,
that god damn
tender tendril
golden probes
that unfroze my numb
and never again
frightened heart?

How do I write
Daniel
into eternity?

Well written interogatives really draw the reader in, looking to offer his own answers.

How?

How do you write Daniel into eternity? I think you just did, sweetie. It was so telling, I almost felt in the room when it was happening. Beautiful, Liar, as always.

could a poem rock my world more? No. The intensity that resonates from this poem, ,just kicked me in the gut, and I felt your melting your need, your craving. Wasn't hard on my eyes, my ears or my need for great poetry. Good job. I absolutely LOVE reading this one out loud. I rock reading this poem. :D *laughing*

Yes!

Loved it. Didn't think I was going to after the first few lines, but it molded into a fabulous sentiment that I loved. I love your use of repetition. You do it so deftly. Nice.
