The years are wearing me down. The offer is just not there to help pull me up from this "down below", a place to feel some care. The tiredness definitely shows, no matter the mask of face. Missing is much of the normal of life while empty, the arms of embrace. Sorrowful thoughts on the rise, challenged are dreams once in hand. Let the passage of time break the stalemate one day allowing life to go on as once planned. So I rhyme to be able to feel, executing the ghosts' rising each day. Needing release from the thoughts that rebel 'gainst the daring to dream, I cache'. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Today I understand you fully, dear Maureen, I am not always up in the clouds either! If I wrote today, my poem would fit into the dark poetry forum ... but like you, deep down, somewhere, I know the sun will shine again ... and it WILL! Reaching out with a big hug. love Margherita  |

write it out...at least you can...me I seem to have this block I sit back and think what 'normal' really is these days time to map out a different route, not so much the normal way but off the beaten path, time is not going any slower loved this poem and can relate to it  |

"I rhyme to be able to feel(!)"...well, that about 'sums it up' for me as well! much applause for this very real, honest, emotive 'write' [both personal and 'universal' (in that I believe there is, sadly, an ever increasing number of folks amid the "Runaway American Dream" feeling similarly)] |
