What strange force or twist of fate
Would give me the power to contemplate
Visions of love and feelings of hate
Please tell me now before it's too late

What are these words trying to say
What is the meaning that they convey
They appear in my mind every single day
And never cease to blow me away

I'm writing weary and so tired
And find myself so uninspired
Without the woman that I admired
Nor the love that I desired

I sit here bewildered and in confusion
Could this all be just some sick delusion
Or is this whole world a brilliant illusion
You be the judge I say in conclusion

that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...

Nice, nice work.  Conveyed the weariness
of sometimes thinking too much...Smiling, while I wipe away a tear...close to home.
An echo of my thoughts.

I like this too...not just for its inherent rhyme/rhythm perfection, which is flawless, but for the questioning element, the handing over the finding task to the reader.

WOW, and just when I thought nobody was going to like this one. THANKS!   I wrote this a while ago when I first started writing. I thought I was starting to loose my mind because these thought just started coming out of me and I didn't know what to make of them. I know now that I have lost my mind and I chronicle that fact by writing every thing down that comes to mind. Thanks you all, I'm glad you liked it.

~G.A.~

This is simply a wonderful piece of work! I loved the flow of the words as well as the rhyming....in a word rhyming perfection. I also especially liked the last line..."You be the judge" where you give the last of your thoughts to the reader for them to interpret...very nice touch!
