How do I tell your broken heart I'm sorry
when you refuse to read anything I have to say?
How can I take back my poison prose
when I never should have given it away?
Why . . .

Mike Niemczyk is a San Francisco-based poet whom I met back in the 1990's. We became great friends and from time to time we still correspond. He also sends me poetry broadsides, and today . . .

our minds they meet in outer space
and share a telepath's embrace
although I know we've never met
I only have this one regret
no matter where our paths may be
you'll never be a part of . . .

I could have loved you
if we had only met
but fate was unkind
and left me with regrets
of a love that could have been
or at least the best of friends
now that you've gone
no one to carry on
I could . . .

when can I contain
my mind confused by passion
until souls dare dream
your gentle voice cries
until tears cascade sweetly
down my rounded cheek
my soul yearns for peace
as I know that your embrace
will . . .

I feel electricity
through my nerves
when you talk to me
I get what I deserve
I feel incredible
somewhat indelible
as if our fates were sealed
and to each other we'd reveal
our true ideals of love . . .

I wish I were still a dumb young girl
who never realized what beauty was
the tender lies of sweet romance
should never have become my cross
stupidity vanished when I heard
my first intelligent word

Well, this is going to take awhile to get out the details—at least the salient ones that won't embarrass the innocent and slighty-guilty. This is not a tell-all, so don't ask me to name . . .

forgive my impetuous nature
I am not worth time or space
at least
not from you
compassion turns to cynicism
love to apathy
truth to lies
tears to desert
I don’t have even the energy
for hate
numbness . . .

I remember growing up in my hometown with the sound and sight of freight trains passing from one side of my backyard to the other. My family lived right near a major railroad crossing, which means . . .

apart and alone
too far from my home
I would hope for just a spark
from you here in the dark
it feels as if you're near
your voice comes through so clear
as if our minds could speak
through time's . . .

don't rescue me
I don't want you to save me
from my mistakes
it would make us unequal
pain would be the sequel
once it didn't work out
there is no doubt
in my mind
so don't try to be too . . .

I'm on fire
burning out of control
with desire
now that you've captured my soul
I'd feel complete
if we could walk down the street
and so I'm yearning for you
thinking that we're in . . .

can I admire you from afar
without surrendering
your voice
your heart
your eyes
don't know what I'm feeling
even so
my words could never let you know
how much my heart desires you

I've got to break my childish obsession
cause it will bring me down to my knees
for love can never be a possesion
the minute I confess your heart will freeze
I'm lying to myself saying I need . . .

rhymes escape me
my poetry is dull
my song is off-key
my muse is in a lull
now that you have gone
I'm debating
how I turned my fate
concentrating
on how I loved too late
now that you have gone
you . . .

I wish I never met you
cause now I can’t forget you
your very presence chills me to the bone
there’s no way I can bear
the way you stand and stare
at me like you were very much alone . . .

how does it feel to be swept aside
like so much moss in the dirt
have you been gripped by foolish pride
to not know how much it can hurt
you rejected what I had to say
without a warning or sign
it feels . . .

wit is the two-edged sword that bites
once the tongue is sharply engaged
sarcastic comments spoil for a fight
suffocating us in immature rage
refrain: all that’s left when the wounds are made . . .

Were I not as Echo
to your fair Narcissus
I would wish to bestow
such pure and sweet kisses
upon the lips which dare
to sing of lost desire
though there's no proof you care
if I live or expire
