tight lippped smiles as I sit here and write the voice beside me means well but he'll never understand this need. In tolerance, I nod my head patiently (or appearing so) listening to chatter and trying not to wonder where on nights like this in the past was he when I needed to chatter uselessly. but back to poetry (or lack of) sigh talking chattering ceaseless tired trying to grasp something lost sadness annoyance too late and I can't seem to write poetry anymore night does not hold the same release because I am no longer alone when the moon comes knocking on my window. Every time I fear an end it lasts a little longer and prolongs the inevitable feeling of wasting away without continued growth. poetry now seems to give way to belated journal entries stagnate expression mixed with lost love. If this were written on paper I'd have thrown it in the trash by now. |

This really captures the occasional sputtering and choppiness of poetic thought. Sometimes it can be stop and go. I really like this. Perfect ending, too! ~Chrissy "No one has ever loved ~anyone~ the way ~everyone~ wants to be loved" |

 (smiles) Wow, this title got my attention at least, sweet friend, I think you always write the most wonderful poetic thoughts and even when the moon doesn't knock on your window, such wonderful spellbinding magic flows from your heart all the same! (kiss on cheek) This is absolutely wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, your poems mean so much to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jenn, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Jenn, If you only knew how perfectly you just described what's going on in my heart and mind with this "poem"... I know you've said numerous times that your writings are not necessarily meant to be taken as a personal statement but if this verse is even a shadow of what you are really feeling, know that I'm right there with you. Simple but powerful expression - your frustration and helplessness practically leap from the "page". well done, tempting one - Jeff |

But, there is no trash that comes from the heart. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
