Dreaming
Impossible love can occur 
Dreaming of love, fading in 
As it fades out, can I endure 
Searching, longing, waiting 
Maybe it was the generation 
I’ve felt the unobtainable before 
Distant even, perhaps fictional 
Oh, this one has broken the door

"Face In The Wall"
 
Artist: Duncan Long
 
Needing a caring over a struggle 
Like the blade of grass pushing 
With her desire and her fears 
Through the asphalt 
The cards were already dealt 

Yearning, unsatisfied 
Life and its decisions 
Unnecessary at this time 
Yet, I still wish for a resolution 
Plucking at that flower petal  
Throwing it down, there it lay  
Steeling away a spirit  
She still gives  

Wishing for no complications 
The answer is in the symptoms 
Breaking into the soul 
Not just the emotions 
But of her being whole 
Take care of the meaning 
Take care of who you are 

There was a time 
When love was all that mattered 
Then a cancer it did shatter 
Can there be blame 
No, its just not the same 
Anymore, 
Still I come to the door

"Cancer"
Artist: Duncan Long

Artist acknowledgement; As most who have visited my web site may have noticed, I have spent alot of time looking for that one piece of art that seems to reflect my poetry. In that light, I must say, no other artist has captured my attention more than Duncan Long. I say this because alot of his works are facial in essence. What I notice is the emotion and view into the soul of things seen and not so seen, through his eyes and the eyes of the subject, there soul. There is a wisdom that often comes with years of life experiences, he shares this in a moment thats's as quick as silence is.

This page is dedicated to all the people that  have encountered a disease, specifically,  cancer.

In addition, as difficult as the subject can be,  this represents a tribute or memorial, if you will, to the hurt that a person suffers from rape. If there is a magic wand I would wave it, if there was a Genie I would  wish it had never happened to those that it has. I honestly believe that love can enter into and heal, more than anyone can imagine. So, I hope this page generates the spontaneity that love springs from, to those that need it.  Not pity, do not change yourself to be with them. Let them know that no matter what, you are here. I believe, this is there wish?

Finally its about  unrequited love.

Below are some links that I hope will provide support to everyone who encounters these seemingly, heartless experiences. As well as for those that are with them.
