blank... the page stares back at me- laughing at me- finding humor in my silence screaming at me- daring me to spill my words... my feelings crying with me- feeling my pain sharing my emptiness... my void comforting me as finally the ink begins to flow slowly at first and then a flood until finally the waters recede the pen is dry... my heart now exposed remains... unseen by many noticed by few... blank... -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet. -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 09-09-2000).] |

While writing to express can sometimes escape the longing never seems to go away. Glad to see your ink was found. The blank page is now word bound. Great piece. Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |

Vicky, True, the page stay blank when the heart is silent, It's not until we're filled with joy, outrage or some strong emotion in between can we release to paper the ink coursing through our veins. Good expression of this in this poem. Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has past Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Vicky~ Wonderful expressions of your thoughts. I affectionately refer to it as my ink-of-think. Nicely expressed, hon. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

kaile- thanks so much for the kind words. you're so right...seems like sometimes the feelings are just so overwhelming that they can't find their way out of the pen. thanks for reading. dennis- so true...and sometimes those very same emotions make it difficult to find the words to express them. thank you so much for the response. your replies always mean alot. marge- 'ink-of-think'...i like that. thanksso much for the warm words. your responses mean so much to me. love you all, -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet. -vlraynes |

being blank means that there is so much room to be filled and unencumbered with anything... thus allowing you to write your sonnet of life. Parker |

Vicky; I applaud your courage! It's easier to walk away and wait for that inspiration,it takes courage and a leap of faith to put those first words down and trust in your gift. great job.

Sometimes the verse can flow from our pens and sometimes it eludes us...I think we've all been there, vl, you expressed it very well. Best |

It does take courage to sit down with that blank paper in front of you. Sometimes the words can knock around in your head for a long time before they come out in any sort of order. I'm glad this came up so I could have the pleasure of reading it. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

This whole poem just sent shivers up and down my spine... It's so very true... My favorite part was "my heart now exposed remains... unseen by many noticed by few..." Thankyou for sharing it with us..  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

Wonderful verse from you and I will not pretend to know the poet though I feel I can safely say that your heart is somewhat a reflection of your works....but definitely not the whole real you I am sure. Would be a travesty for someone to be painted so one dimensional as that....I wouldn't like it and I promise to never to read you that way....excellent verse...could go on and on but you are probably thinking to yourself....why is the cowboy just jabbering away...LOL take care my friend. |

m'dear...I know exactly what you mean...made worse by the fact that I like to draw as well as write...and play piano when I can..and when the " blank " just stands there...taunting...and then its over...the storm of creativity and passion spent..I wonder now...if the blank is just a warning...of genius to come...*L* or in my case senility or madness *L* ...thank you for your words though...they inspire...truely Sol |
