| You're beautiful... but strange... so am I. You're smart... but still slow... so am I. You're impatient... but fast... so am I. You're tired... but still last... so do I. You're hot... but still cold... so am I. You're established... but not old... so am I. You're waiting... but happy... so am I. You're leaving... but staying... so am I. You're amazing... but weird... so am I. You're yourself... but still feared... so am I. We both want to be... a forever seen star. I have to say... a lot in common is what we are. |

| Alright, let me try to explain the effect 'A Lot In Common' had on me. I sat down dead tired from work, just wanting to check my mail and a friend of mine sent me a link to a Hardy Boyz site to where Jeff's Poetry was listed. I took a gander at a few. 'InsideAway' was the first one I read and it made me want to read more because the style of Jeff's poetry and the emotion he puts into them connect the way I connect with my own poems. Though I think he's a lot better at it... anywho, I read this poem here and my eyes went round. I got that weird feeling that someone was watching me. For the simple reason that every little line and word in the poem is me. Well, not really me, but for me reading it he seemed to pinpoint most every tiny point of my personality. It was just really amazing to read half awake and it was a hell of a lot better when I read it again in the morning. |
