my fingers
as yet
another attempt
has gone
to
my
abyss
of poetic trash.

i desperately try
to regain
all creation
thats been
l o s t
and with
each attempt
i can f e e l
myself climbing
towards
the
*light*
but the pain
of the journey
al most
makes it seem
not worth the effort.

if only
aphrodite
would
r e l e a s e
me
and
_carry_
me
upon
her wings,
creation would then
be plentiful
as i could
never encapsulate
the spirit
of
her
radiance
with mere words
of her beauty.
