What's the point of writing? Shall I pen a phrase or two poising all my thoughts in passion Just to render them to you? Shall I bleed my heart for ink And scribe it's pulses Jot and tittle Just to try to make you think Or maybe make you love a little? Should I be a selfish man Who only writes for his own pleasure Making every verse I can Betroth itself it's own endeavor? How about I pluck a posey Just to send it to a friend? Only written so your cosy With the tenderness I lend I think I'd rather not And so I'll stop, refraining verse Lest my anger boil hot And lend my heart some more remorse I'll break my pen and burn my art I'll rent my own sad, lonely heart And tear this whole damn world apart Instead of writing you again! |

I understand your plight . . . ~*~ You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. ~*~ |

sometimes there are ears to listen, sometimes not should that be reason to write, or should it not? I never captured certain ears I dearly sought others listened dear but now are naught who cares of blood or flesh one's rent or values the trouble you have spent it is all old words you have reused no need to wonder or be confused |

If I had a dollar for every time I laid down my pen I'd be a rich man my friend. Never have I thought to lay it down for failure to move someone though. When you write, you offer a piece of your soul, that's a given. The measure of the writing is not in its acceptance, but in the truth of the writing to the emotion you are feeling. You can only fail yourself in this. All I'm really trying to say is the pen is not your enemy, try not to ignore the words wishing to flow from it. Your passion was evident in this one. That's a good thing, even if it it was brought forth from unappreciated emotions. Michael |

This is really just a rant! Because of Jessie! Who has been my muse of muses for several months now! She loves to read what I write for her but... You catch my drift! To encourage my fellow poets! I still write for her!  |
