i write the words
that makes the whole world cry
i write the words that are not heard

no one can see my face
while sitting on the stage in cyberspace
all that is known are my poignant words
black on white lace
curlicues, parings of a fragile mind
hoarded renderings of voiceless aspiration
slowly gathered by the light of night
dark moon, luminescence face
chained forever toiling in a empty place
no one can see the rain that slowly drips
from the glowing fountain of internal pain
as i frantically tap out measured words
shaped desire gives voice to naked soul
gifted to those that cannot cry
in agony i bear the sorrow of those that don't see, that
i send out each nightsong of my words to bleed
winged transformation along glowing matrix lines
timely thoughts pushed forth with low moan
endless search for a distant safe haven
deleted with mindless stroke of key
once again, the words are lost
in the dark night of space

oh god—i write the words

Beverly,

This reminds me of a Barry Manilow song

but yes, we all write and I don't feel any
words are ever wasted, sometimes we may
think they are. This had a yearning to it,
like almost a desperation.

wordancer, you speak for many who put their heart and soul into each and every poem. I think, sometimes, we have all been there. You have gone very deep in your discription of these feelings. Great poem even with the pain showing, ME
