I Don't Write Poetry, I Ramble

I have found myself once again,

hiding deep within eroded thoughts

They trickle and seem miniscule

but there is a hole now in my mind

My inspiration is my lack of innovation 

My pen is a radical

My disease is oppression

But the voices whisper talk of a revolution 

Old memories sit young ones in their laps 

And tell stories of a happier time before the plague.

Parents scold them for putting silly little stories in their heads.

I like to listen, too. 

But I'm not so gullible

I know they are not true

 

I'm standing

As weak as a sapling

On the shore of my solitude

Letting the waves lap at my feet

It feels like hands grabbing me

Pulling me into something as terrifyingly unknown

As the vast sea

Dark water filled with anxiety 

 

I'm worn

Like a moth eaten coat 

In an abandon house 

Like fairy banquets

touch me 

And I'd fall to pieces

What writer isn't really in

What writer isn't really in thier element when rambling. It's all poetic emotions philosophy and ideas it's the sensitivity of well placed thoughts described by words laid in an affecting way. I enjoyed this poetic piece more than I thought I would! 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS

fairy banquets

like the mad hatter's tea party, one false touch and chaos happens, doormouse drowning in the teapot. Paper thin connections are just like that - love the way you put ideas and associations in close proximity to the reader's sensitivities - like that ~allets~
.
Never stop writing poetry, nothing is more important. It has the magic to save your sanity in the dark hours, I know, it does!

Thank you Lady A! I do agree

Thank you Lady A! I do agree wholeheartedly, it's currently helping me find some sanity. I notice when I'm not writing I am slipping back into myself, poetry helps bring me out of this little cave of mine.

Beautiful line and amazing piece!


We'll just keep writing 'til there's nothing left to write.

We'll just keep waiting 'til they read all our works left to right.
