I would scream down nintey mountians

to less than dust,

I would for you,

you, whom I do not entirely know

nearly as well as anyone would guess

I would scream down nintey mountians

and sevreal large foothills,

if i thought it would change anything.

I would write down every word

I plan to learn

imressing those above and below me

waiting to be impressed

I would write every word I know,

if I thought they would mean more to you

than my silence.

I would sing ever song,

and dacne every dance,

and project my voice and name,

and projesct my thoughts and ideas,

onto a scream as empty

as these words.

I would,

there is nothing for me to promise on,

but you can take these words as they are,

because they are all I am.

I would write poetry,

day and night,

fternoons and dawns,

and other times,

as the Earth dissolves.

I would write you new mountains,

of sorrow and love,

of loss and anger,

and forgiveness and humor and sunlight,

and tourture and revenge and solitude,

but i know that

every word that pours from me

just falls,

through the vail of dissapointment.

never the less,

I would scream them down,

to dust and ashes,

for you...
