Dysfunctional Dreamer

I just had to put this in coz it was just plain lovely. And I think the writer's a local talent too! (:

The Belief

you go on
about how you do
not feel loved
unless someone
places his head
or hand
upon your body
for more than
a night and day

I soon learn
about how any
argument
about the possible
meaningless
of such intimacies

is the same
as convincing
a child terrified
of the dark
of the true nature
of shadows.

by the parted window,
watching the stars
pour passeways down
your cheeks.
