Never Write Again |

I really have considered- Laying down my pen. And tearing up my manuscripts- To never write again. The ink I use is sorrow... My vellum is my pain... I really think it better far, To never write again. Each word is like a drop of blood- Each heartbeat hastes the end... No doubt, there is a better way- One’s fleeting life to spend... The tears of memory burn my eyes- The thoughts, “What might have been”- You’ll understand? It’s best that I- Should never write again. |

The emotions of this are so true sometimes, aren't they? I compliment you. You expressed it very well indeed. |

All your emotions come out in your words. They serve as a constant reminder of how you once felt about things that have happened to you. I've considered stopping myself. Good poem! |

John, what a shame that would be. Your pain makes your writing, yours. It's lovely, well written and a pleasure to read. The sadness is shared by the ones who read it. Cheryl |

John, please don't stop writing!! Just to get all of those feelings out and onto paper, is a healing of sorts. Plus, we love reading your poetry. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

John, You say you'll never write again? Never write again? Because of pain? How can you gain? When poison's in a soul. Must it not be cleansed By your true pen And so my friend To make your heart grow whole, Write! write! And write! 'Til your soul's pure white Leave cold dark night Come! Bring your pen! Let's fight! Write! -Silver Streak Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com Copyright: 2002 Newell Elsworth Usher [This message has been edited by Silver Streak (01-16-2002 01:56 PM).] |

Ah, fellow minstrels, tried and true... Life would be sad if not for you! While I might try to ditch my pen... I canna help, but write again. Thank you all very much for your encouragement. |

Well now. Since you've spoken my heart so well, it is now encumbent upon you to continue writing, because if you quit, then I will have to quit, and you'll just start a dominoe effect that I don't think even you wish to have happen... so pick up the pen, John, pick up the pen... |

John: Writing helps express your feelings and desires, and it also brings friends together. Please don't stop writing! Looking forward to the next one. |
