DESCRIPTION
I lost this piece some months ago; searched all over, couldn't find it anywhere... It's funny how life works. Just about the same time I finally got over the girl who inspired it, I found it in the same place I'd been looking all along. The timing is good; it's easier to read with unclouded eyes. [54 words]
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
To those who've seen my old description, I'm sure you'll be pleased to see a refreshing lack of arrogance. If you missed it, sucks to be you. I'm a free-lance writer and barrista from the Midwest. I'm still trying to get more of my poetry and fiction on here, so be patient. In the meantime, please post reviews; I love reading what you all think. Write me email too, I need new victims.. er... friends. As usual, welcome to my madness, and happy reading. [February 2003]
AUTHOR'S OTHER TITLES (6) Crimes Of Love - In Three Acts (Poetry) This piece descibes the little deaths we string together- and call a lifetime. [297 words] Faded Edges (Poetry) Read "Bodies at Rest" first. It helps to keep the time-line in order. [154 words] [Relationships] Jim's Lament (Poetry) A Cainite describes his existance... (Please do not correct my languages. No Latin was actually used against its will.) [104 words] [Fantasy] Rachaela (Poetry) This poem is old, more so even than I. At the time, I thought it was possible to find myself in someone else. Such is the nature of being lost. We will cling to anything, and think it a true North. No...

Bodies At Rest A J Magy
there are
in the heart ways and spaces
unknown
byways of the soul
and the mind
has its records too
in pictures
moving and still
snippets and snapshots
of a lifetime
I scarcely remember
a waterfall
a tree
a stolen kiss
and a heart in flight
these are the moments
trapped in time we
will piece together
and call our days
a fragmented slideshow
held under glass
shattered by time
piecemeal mementos of bodies at rest

"I didn't really understand this poem. But I'm not real good at interpreting poetry. Is is about all the things you remember before you die? Anyway, you've published more stuff on here than I have, so something must be working for you. Keep it up." -- Steven T.
"AJ! I like this piece alot, surprise I never seen it before! It reminds me of something I wrote once. It has a nice flow and feel to it and leaves this reader with a peaceful easy feeling of acknowledgement. I can easily understand what you were saying here! Good Job!!!" -- Monte, USA.
" I usually don’t read poetry, and thus don’t review it, because I find much of it to be pretentious. However, since you specifically asked for me, I will grant your request by putting forth what I can, and then I will tell you where you can receive some real assistance. Review: #1 Title, Bodies at Rest, is an excellent choice. #2 Spelling and Grammatical errors: Change ‘momentos’ to ‘mementos,’ its close cousins are the words ‘remember’ and ‘memory.’ #3 Opinion: For your pieces I will rate in clarity (ability to be comprehended by the general populace) unless I see something incredibly good or incredibly bad. For this piece I give it a rating of foggy. We get the gist of what you are saying, but difficult to pin down to a specific subject. #4 Suggestions: I’d suggest you visit the poetry forum at the www.WritersBBS.com for further assistance in your work.
