-Back From The Dead-


it's been so long since I could convey my words
it feels so much longer unheard
the absence of an outlet had left me numb
and being cut off so harshly stung
my other part too was without
leaving me so far in doubt
so much talking and not enough conversation
like not being able to reply to encantations
voices speaking freely while my tounge was cut out
again such despair, such doubt
friends going to bat and hitting fly balls
me here staring at the walls
time to think an optimist would say
too much time and no way to relay
that's much more to the point and succinct
it's times like those that render my type extinct
too much time on the hands
of a penless poetic man
take the pen away from the poet's head
he might as well just be fred
painters have the canvas, poets need the forums
it's just the poet's way of creating decorrum
maybe it's not truly a need to be read
but for some it's a way back from the dead

J.L. Koehler
Peace, Love, and happiness `now'

Dedicated to all misplaced poets and their friends.

To all: there is an alternate ending, if you'd like to read it please let me know any way you can.

Excellent words written
Glad your back,

I AM glad to be back, and I thank you all that have kept me in  words. Whether you like this one or not, it needed to be said.
