Lyrics:  Your Song  ElToN JoHn

 

a conversation

i tell you

today that

i no longer

love you, as

       
before.

yet, i continue to feel you inside my soul

           
that naked soul. . . that you dressed

one full moon night with words of desire.

       
words that slip and found themselves inside.

my souls of solitude.

words and time. . . they do not permit us to return

       
i tell you this moment that i no

longer love. . . no longer love you.

but

       
i do not know how to dress my words of desire.   

                                   
-----Carmen Abrego

                                       
Chicana Lesbian, p. 63

 

After 9 months, I still do not know how to dress
my words of desire. How I long for those days when writing was not a task but a
very private and enjoyable constant thing for me. How I long to write again with ease and filled with my emotions. How I long to find my muse again.

This is a must read poem by Twishie H. Pixie. Twishie H. Pixie is one of those people that I really admire. I might not be really close to her but I really appreciate the little things that she does for me. Twishie H. Pixie is my Japanese Acrobat Sister's older more "henyotic" sister. Thanks for everything Twishie H. Pixie. . . .

I am kind off dedicating this poem to my dark chocolate ex-Honey.  Thanks for the memories and for a short time being my inspiration in my poetry and essays. Hopefully, soon, I will again know how to dress my words of desire.
