I step out of the room
The darkness has grown
so i no longer see
all around me the walls
are falling in on my ghost of me

I glance back
at what i have lost
at what i have gained
all in the past
All gone in the long Goodbye

Friends i have made
Soon to be lost
in the sway of memories tide
my window closed
now outside i must hide

How the silence deafens me
now my words come as cat calls
No inspiration in words or deeds
Just another victim in this world
where will i be without words

To a past unknown and a future uncertain
Yet there is one thing that i know
I will return
I will return

Oh, I hope you are not leaving. I love your writing. This was another that made me think of many things. Take care.

Please say it isn't so!!  Your poetry has
changed in the last month or so...stepping
from the darkness a bit.....I shall miss
seeing both sides of your poetry, but if you
must then take care and come back soon~

Great writing Walter, It can be interpreted in a few different ways. If this is your goodbye then I echo the others and say take care and return soon!

For Walter ... my poet of the dark...
until you too return ...
take care of you for me ...please.

~Poetic Roads~

I'll not say ~Goodbye~ to you ...
I'll cry no ~Crystal Tears~
For I know you will return from the ~Darklands~...
mystical ~Nightwalker~ ... keeper of the fears.

I see you in the ~Rain in the Night Sky~ ...
I will follow your ~Footsteps in the Sand~.
I've seen your gifts ... and ~All The Light Inside~
I know you ... I've been touched by your ~Heart and Hands~

Poetic prophet ...~Wordsmith~ of the shadows ...
you've taken me to your ~Castle In The Sky~
On journeys with an ~Ice King and his ~Ice Angel~
the gift of ~Poets Heart Burns Bright~ ... brought tears to my eyes.

May you know all your ~Unanswered Prayers~
may you find your ~Intrigue in the Rain~.
May the ~Long Road Home~ ... bring you back to me.
In this place ... we are a ~Circle of One~ ... in my heart you will remain.

Janet Marie

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