~o~ Are you the one for whom I searched? Scratching the surface of the skin for hidden stings? Poking in places where I did not belong? Have I embarrassed you? Made you blush and turn away? Are you aware how long I've looked and lusted After the traces of your scent On the gentle breeze of evening. I've torn down houses looking for you , Mowed down old forests like they were merely men. I've drunk whole oceans, Thirsty for the taste of you, Only to find myself dix\zzy and belching On the shores of a dead sea. Do you know the mountains i have moved? The desserts sifted, grain by grain of sand? And how many answers have I found? Your name written in the mist? You calling out with the voice of the wind? A flower exactly like your skin your lips your eyes? A bright spot of sunlight shifting on the forest floor? A star that died in eons past Whose light only now begins to twinkle in a corner of the sky? What are your names, the first and last? How should I call you? Is there a number for you? I can reach across time and space, But only so far, so long. When I find you again, will i know? It has been so long, Am I still searching Or merely waiting For the end? ~o~ Alas, lost on the way again,poor William, plays with shiny little toys While the sky whirls around restless in it's sleep. -March 26, 2008 I wrote for eghteen minutes, and spent two minutes on line breaks, and spell checking.
after thirty minutes I had the whole bit set in HTML with capitals at the head of every line. |

Dear Will, I only hope my comments were helpful, otherwise please disregard. I am afraid that you have lost me with the brackets, I guess my math isn't that good! But I am intrigued… |

Sure its helpful. Also encouraging. The Brackets are irrelevent to the poem. The link goes to a Buddhist website where there is an essay on emptiness. The essay connects the idea of emtiness in Buddhism to other systems of thought, including the branch of mathematics called boolean algebra. Set theory. |
