It's yet another... "yet another," empty evening, devoid of the warming breath of "light." It's yet another... "yet another," dusky time where the demons sway, in the lullaby(e) of wavering aware It's yet another... "yet another," timid twilight, pulling, prodding, swarthy secrets from noonday's pen It's yet another... "yet another," daydream fading from hope to wistful wishing for surcease of the "wake" It's yet another... "yet another," darkened divorce between reality's bond and inanity's promise of endless litany -boredom bred- It's yet another... "yet another," sleepless night. |

Christopher~ It's YET ANOTHER beauty from your pen. Love the format and the resounding 'yet another'. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

And this is one of the most beautiful poems you have ever written - well done. Very graceful, it flows like a river my friend. K'Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing' Sylvia Plath |

It's yet another (another) Night when shadows beckon and taunt from empty corners ... The silence rings, insistent, a litany of solitude haunting Thoughts that echo in the suffocating void (another) Study of darkness, the pillow cold and eyes searching for what was, what isn't, Possibilities mocking, painful, on yet another sleepless night. Um -- went off on an entirely different tangent there, I think, but overall I enjoyed and I empathize. Sometimes it can be really frightening to be alone with yourself (at least in my case). --Me Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

Sharon - Thakn you for making the first appearance, (wink) that's a rarity for you I know! Haleyja - Thank you as well! Feel free, though I wanr you I haven't been posting much lately, so you may have to dig...LOL Marilyn - I know you undestand! LOL Marge - And "yet another" kind reply. Thank you! Ruth - I know you too can relate! Kamla - From you, that is enough to swell my head! Thank you my friend... may I assume you don't want a "line-by-line?"  CMGrimm - Another thank you! Liz - Your presence is gratification enough for me! Kess - Actually m'dear, I think you've merely portrayed another facet of this particular demon which accosts so many. I know you too can empathize with the bane of insomnia. And that you wrote such a great (free verse) response leaves me smiling! Gen - Halo there! Thank you for stopping by, taking time out of your oh-so-busy schedule to deign a visit upon this poor, humble poet!  Thank you sincerely Gen!Corinne- Thank you for the reply, glad you felt it! Martie - And another thank you to you as well, glad you enjoyed! |

Been there - done that. This poem is the story of my life...well, the shortened version anyway. Nice to know your head is still as messed up as mine. I never feel so alone after reading your work. Great poem, bud...but you knew that. I'm sure. Michael |

I am the moth, you are the flame. You have drawn me into this night of yours and I will be forever grateful. Where have you been hiding all this time? Your talent is too good to lie dormant for long. |

Christopher, Your face shows such youth and yet your words are filled with deepness and wisdom a wonderful example of our bodies merely being a shell holding our heart and soul together. Your poem was wonderful and I'm once again a recipient of a gift that you give freely in your work. Thank you. |
