eight headed poems
Sep 15 '02 (Updated Jan 11 '04)
The Bottom Line Some interesting pieces, that I wrote as a reaction to another poem, that (to be honest) I don't even remember today - thanks Epinions for adding these categories!
The Moon
The moon hangs high in lonesome solitude.
Its brightness a reflection of something else.
Your brightness or its brightness, what
does it mean? In the silence your heart shatters
like a fallen mirror.
(c) August, 1999, Steven H. Lee

Summer Poem
once the sunlight fell
on my brow and i loathed
it so much that i flung
arrows of hate from my eyes and it
became enraged and beat down its wrath of
hate on me so hot that
the plants and people around me
started to die and i started to shrivel up
inside as all my hate and greed and evil thoughts
quickly diminished due to a sudden lack
of water and then breath
(c) September, 1999, Steven H. Lee

someone wanted you there
but it wasn't me
not anymore
steaming consciousness
extended beyond

Untitled No. 8
Office space and long empty corridors.
Fluorescence humming from
the ceiling and the soft sound
of some news radio echoes out
from some empty cubicle.
With scraps of unwanted paper
littering the floor,
I leave this place once more.
I leave this place for the last time.
(c) June, 2000, Steven H. Lee

Untitled No. 9
Everyday my eyes open to the sight of dawn coming in through my window and my eyes sting like the memories that are embedded deep in the recesses of my mind.
Memories that fly across the synapses like lightening.
And the thunderstorm just won't stop as I remember the warmth of your tongue lapping against mine as we'd kiss on those hot Vancouver nights during the summer of '98.
And the passions still burn deep in my chest, rotting my soul as my eyes turn red from the tears that stain my face as I watch you fall in love with somebody else.
(c) July, 2000, Steven H. Lee

Untitled No. 10
Desperation with deepened voices screaming.
Fevers rampant.
Makes you Crazy and tired and Crazy again.
Everything is not alright.
Running nowhere and everywhere at once.
the shadows dancing in the light with
desperation and deepened voices scratched,
frayed and dying from all the screaming.
(c) July, 2000, Steven H. Lee
