PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i cant eat. probably cant sleep. i dont have my eyes...

This poem reflects how one can have so many people in their live that love them and care, and yet still feel alone.

Any comments, good or bad, are welcome. Please leave a comment and let me know if you liked it, how it made you feel or what you didn't like about it. Thanks for taking the time to read my work. :)

Inspired by, of all things, a billboard along side the road I read on my way to Boone to visit a friend. it was for giving around Christmas time to the salvation army it said need knows no season and that went on like a light in my head and bam this poem was born.

Written 11/9/2001

( I must say, I've written more poems since getting a computer and going on line as I react to people and this inspires poetry whether the feelings are real or imagined and this is wonderful for a poet. I used to get tiny little crushes, which in my poetic thoughts became these masterful love affairs but only in the writing moment. With Some poems I would be way too much of a chicken to even dare share with the person I wrote it for, but I would draft them on line and send them to others who love poetry like me. I have this strange feeling that one day I'll look back and read my work and it will read like I've had 4000 love affairs or some hot such. What a hoot that would be to me but if others somewhere down the line read them as wow she had so many lovers that will really tickle my funny bone cause I know it's just so untrue. hmmmmm I wonder if Mata Harri was really as bad as all those reports? What if she really was just some nice lonely housewife from Hamberg who was misunderstood ? grins! Sorry couldn't resist. I just wanted to try to put these poems in this time of writing in proper context for you, the objective reader)

Dedicated to Brandon. I love you so much!
