a night of wakefulness-- and here I am with nothing to show I thought I would write but there is nothing oh I wanted to show you such things, take you places you couldn't envision show you your purple clouds and yellow forests with all the lovely myriad animals mix your potions and bind your spells with hair of newt and dog's toe, and cuddle you up in ship's mast with the crows and hold you against the sky but here I am a night of reading, of ... (hoping for your wakefulness) nevermind... dawn breaks and here I am with nothing to show but me my loneliness, my vision |

A night of wishing someone wanted all that we are and all that we have to give. It sure is a hard thing. Beautiful poem.. |

Lovely imagery here... I have a question though... "show you your purple clouds and yellow forests with all the...." Is it only poets that see the clouds, trees, and land in different colors of happiness? I too seem to see calmness/happiness in colors...many poems I have written include purple skies and violet lands.... NIce thoughts no matter what!!!

What a bewitching poem! I love the expressionist imagery!! Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

I've been there, maybe not exactly this way, but the block has me in it's grip. Excellent poem Portia. |
