If I could stain this page it would

be a charcoal gray and it’s blemish would hide
my dawns squalid past it would cover the stage of
broken dreams and things felt were surely meant
to pass thought thoughts on shades of gray
which always clouded daz and by no

means ever flew away
to soon but poised
betwixt a darkened
phaze laid midst a nexus
just a toasted dusty lyric stashed
away on haggard shelves half frozen left
behind on sloped windswept prospects where

thymes and drafts reached to touch the longing
sky O yes well beyond the range of tomorrow
where poets are sure to die no one ever
cared for truth nor innocent eyes
tears of youth or even

wasted  years
left behind
only the
faded
slow
from a
shameless
life and to jot
another truly
shrouded
line

jaded

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Hi Lucky...You always inspire me with your words that flow from somewhere deep where I reach to understand and feel.

Saunni

it was cleary intense and so well written I was biting my fingernails the whole time. Thanks for replying. I was however impressed with your statement... “Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps.” as we had just returned from two weeks vacation and I had a phone message from dad... My brother had died, I was thinking on it when I wrote this. Thank you.

Gossamerwings

Thank you so much for the kind remarks.

If you close your eyes and still see words you may have some kind of disorder I hope you don’t see html’s...lol..you did it, lucky!!!  You have style and grace of your own too... thank you

It is you my dear who are haunting and mysterious,

tracie66

Thank you tracie

Martie

It’s good to be an inspiration. Looks like we’re both a little deep. Thanks for your understanding. I’m still working on that letter for you... sorry about the delay. My head is jumbled with the loss of my brother. I’ll get it to you soon. Sending love and prayers

Thank You for your understanding.

lucky... Sometimes
