My imagination
Slips into darkness
I begin to wonder
When you hold me
Are you thinking
Of me or another?
Do you want
To run away
Or stay forever?
When I shake
Those thoughts
I begin to wonder
As I lie in your arms
Do I belong here
Or with another?
I think I want
To run away
But would I ever?

What? (I really wanted to say “Sweet.” But I wasn’t sure you’d know that’s from the fine film… “Dude Where’s My Car?”)

Hahaha… I have to admit, I kind of loved that movie. But what did your “Dude” mean in the first place? My brilliance left you speechless? LOL

Yes, that’s it exactly! And I have no idea at all what you were writing about. Nope. No idea. 😉

Oh, but it’s pure fiction from my f-ed up head. And I know you don’t believe that for a second… 😛 (Okay, it is exaggerated, though… I’ve started a post to explain myself a bit regarding my poetry… maybe it’s kind of a disclaimer… or something…)

No, that’s a good idea… We can have real personal sounding posts that make people wonder. I think most would assume that what we write is from experience so better to dispel if its not a personal truth.

I knew people are sometimes, um, concerned about me. (Or about my mental state.) I suppose it all does come from experience… but not so much that I’ve lived every word. I am a writer. I make shit up. Or enhance true things. Or something like that.

Exactly! I mean, seriously what if you wrote about serial killers? Would everyone assume you lived those experiences? Or felt those dark desires?

Like Fictional Kevin? I am afraid of him. 😀 I’m kidding. Mostly.
God knows my fiction is fiction. Bummer. But my poetry is borderline. Just like my mind.

Did you ever hear the story of how Kevin and I “met?” It really is crazy… I should post about it, its a good story. And yes, some of my stuff hits close to home, but I bet no one would ever be able to tell which is factual and which is fiction unless I admit to it!

Maybe I admit too much… which is ironic since I don’t admit who I am (full name, picture, etc.). Okay, maybe that’s not ironic… I suppose the anonymity is precisely the reason I’m able to say so much…

Yes. And that’s the cool thing about staying anonymous… You can really bare your soul.

Just wow. A good reflection of how easily we project our deepest thoughts and fears onto those we are closest to… At least, that was the first thing that struck me, but that’s the beauty of poetry. Like art, it resonates differently with every person.

Thank you so much! And I agree — like with music, too, I think — we all have our own interpretations and feelings about the words.
