A message for you

Ursula advised me

Share one’s true name never 

You may call me Scott it’s not so clever

I bring you all my prose in hand 

It’s just a silly poem few want to understand

Why I write for you is nothing new

Sharing the me within me my hope of getting close to you

I want to look upon your face my eyes allowed to stare

Take my hand I will hold yours with great care

Behind your windows what will I see

Maybe a child in there climbing a tree 

Or a playful sprite of wonder and delight 

Will you be my true dreamer on a star filled night

Would you read my words they are so very few

And grant me a chance to get to know the true you

The brap I had been looking for

  Photo credit:  Michael J. Thumm sometime in 1977 my friend Neil showed me his new KISS album, Destroyer. I was blown away.   That album art was just WOW! Four bad ass dudes strait out of some outrageous syfi movie. In the scene they were leaping up atop some ruble in a triumphant pose. Behind them a burning city. Neil told me that this band KISS had vaporized Detroit with fire. Oh Wow, I thought, this music is going to be crazy awesome! Then he played the record, and wouldn't you know, I was immediately underwhelmed! I felt I was drowning in boring pop radio singing. So many words, and that ho hum melody. The six year old critic in me could not get my head around how an album cover with such promise, could dispense something so sonically disappointing. I suppose it was my first step into appreciating how to not judge a book by its cover. When I got back home I was still day dreaming of that magnificent album art. I told my mom what I had witnessed. She immediately said she did no

Photo Credit  Scott Cain  "Of dreams and Kissing" Your return coincided with lucidity exiting the comfort of me Your presence in the wee hours a welcome gift of my aspiration This time your face had been so close to mine I could smell the subtle scent of coffee tied to my illusion of you We were caught in a moment of hesitation A mere millisecond of anticipation Dream falling towards the other Something might happen Between two smiles descending into the entirety of the eternal When the heart can only flutter And the view is intentionally obscured To blindly be guided by villus who whisper directions Would our mouths melt upon meeting But we never touch A flood of emotions always awakens me The way violent dreams can shake thee I want to fall back into sleep   My lips still yearning for something incomplete   But I can’t find my slumber Our touch must be tied to logs and lumber   And you so far away might well be just a fantasy One that lives between words and a dream state d
