Somewhere somehow you strike the chord even tho it's not in tune I grasp for straw of logic in the chaos of emotion's storm. There must be some truth for me even as the madman laughs... It's true. I do love poetry. It's true this love don't pay in cash. I saw you when you thought that I didn't notice in your glance. I was sitting head in hands weeping as you slaughtered me. I'm wondering my head hurts bad what's in this game that you love so? I feel you feed upon my tears. You grow young as I grow old. wither me some more. I shrug. I know now just what bothers you. My poetry is part of me you cannot prostitute. |

Painful words but I love the message in the end is clear, poetry is empowerment. Our writings are the essence of what are and as such there is nothing that can claim it or take that away from us. Only feed it. Wonderfully written. raph |

Words are who we are, they can take all, but not our words. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

Seeing the withers, again? Very powerful, Karen. Nope, your poetry should not be prostituted. Only emulated. |
