Sometimes when you're standing at a street corner No one knows what you're writing inside. They pass you by without a second glance... As you stand there wondering what they're like Or if you'll see them again. Their backs are the last versions of them That you will ever see. Their shadows- Their last goodbye to you. A time so short, Too short for partings... Such a lonely world... Child, I see the city stones have hurt you. ===== Just something short...my last poem until I get my muse back... -Leah Va pensiero sull' ali dorate...

I don't think the muse is gone, I think you are blind.  HeHe... I, as always, was incredibly pleased with this piece. Wonderful write as always...I liked the line about what's being written inside. Off I go! Thanks for the read. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |

I absolutely loved this!!! OMG! This has got to be one my favs, if not my most fav poem you've written. So much depth, and truth within this short piece. Completely outstanding!!!! You've knocked the breath out of me leah...wowness.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

*raises a hand* I for one missed this poem. Sucks to have been me, doesn't it? No longer. I'll give you a thumbs up on this one. Great last line, it was so separate from the rest and it seemed almost cynical. Other than that, a very deep and thoughtful poem, hence why Javier loved it so much. ~Allan People call me a madman, but I'm not mad at anyone. |

Hey Chasing Rain Leah. Can I call you leah?I was browsing your poetry and this title attracted me. Do you always write this good when you have writer's block? Because this is pretty damn good lol. I agree that it's sad how strangers fail to recognize that their fellow man is an individual and, even in passing, we do not have any time (not that we wouldn't take the time, we just don't really have it) to stop and greet all that we see. Every stranger you ever see is an entire life. Even if that wasn't what you were getting at, it still had an impact. I don't understand the last line though can you please explain it? Thanks Leah Theo |

I can't believe you people still have this one going around...lol. It's kinda nice. ^_^ For Mr.Parasite: You know the ritual of stoning people to death? Well, when one is first exposed to city life, it's like we are injured because this is not what we are used to. Like we're being stoned (no, not drugged...). It's kind of...a different thought. ^_^; Heh. Much thanks to all for your encouragement! I think we're finally getting the feel of the pip family again... ++ Leah ++ Va pensiero sull' ali dorate... |

How very sorrowful, m'dear. Must have missed this one once upon a time. It's written with a slight leaning towards more despair than anything else which I really admire. The last two lines really brought it all into perspective for me. Kind of like a slap in the face yet not as harsh. I do like this, Leah. Mind you, I always did adore your writing. ~AF~ "No wonder I do not make people comfortable. I am a mirror. I have far too many things to say." - Mouthing the Words |
