Heaven . . .



Stop
Think
Confusion

Can I read what’s
Inside?

I dig at the dirt
But only to find
Another layer

Do I proceed?
Can I proceed?

I hesitate at the ambiguity
Frightened of what
might
be there

I long to know
But fear to find out

Still,
I press on-
Feeling through the dark
At the agitated bumps

It itches
Scratches
Chafes

And I realize

My ignorance
Was heaven

I like this one a lot -- it's got a lot of layers, kind of like what it's about. The edits came out great too. And I still love that last line. good work man!

you're so right han! wow. thats so intense right now. Anyway, I'm a big big fan of this one. BIG fan. In fact, I think I may go start a "Lina's Poetry is Flipping Awesome" Club. Han and Gabe would join... right?

okay.. I'm lame. But no more time for lame comments because a) I feel like crap right now (health wise, mind you) and b) Collide just came on and I have the inexplicable urge to dance that I just can't ignore.

I love you!
