somebody's dungeon

Even in the empty space, crowded
as if awaiting escape, I look
to freedom from the day for
I'm put upon with sin's display.

Spotted there amid shadow,
blazened now through sun window,
the litany that I dread.
Preserving thought, I turn my head

to wait for night to come at last,
the day's confession will be past.

WhiteRose,
isn't it wonderful  how every day we are given a fresh beginning.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

"I am a martyr to poetry"
said the blind man
I answer
"Is it because you no longer see beauty?"
"Nay" he replied "It is because i learned how to love"

So ends my confession

I hate to admit this but i've read a lot of your poetry and i have never been able to word a reply.

I wrote a poem called white rose and it was for a friend whom i cared for but i lost her now the words haunt me.

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
