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 ...
