Tragedy Tragic is a river of pain That tumbles from the spring of life It digs a bed in run of bane. With the shovel of time and strife It eats into our walls defense It seeps into our wishing well Dissolving all our tolerance And keeps us in a state of hell. It sleeps with us in nightly seem With phantoms that roll over us It works its way into our dreams It sickens us with pools of pus. Thus the human cannot fly Grounded in the rivers bend Shackled from a golden sky Until the tragedy will end So do not sail the tragic sea Repress the thoughts and fly with me. |

Such wisdom. I flew ~within~ the first semi-decent poems I've written and (posted) last night, in a very, very long time. It is a beginning. You and several others here are inspirations and mentors. How blessed I am. After just reading Radrook's poems, I kinda hate to open my mouth for he described me to a "T", and I, he. This has been adventure for sure. As ever, thanking you, Pat  without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |

I was nodding in agreement as I read this wonderful work... Your wise words definitely struck a chord. *S* And then I reached the final couplet and the smile you'd left waiting... *S* I much enjoyed, Seymour! *S* |

Seymour darling man I'd fly with you anywhere As always your writing is utterly utterly fabulous and I love it. We're missing you here and wish you would come back. We could have done with your poetic eye to describe the sunset we filmed at Hudson, or your artistic flair to capture the moment for us all at the very least. I'll speak to you soon as always Mushy   Breathe through the heat of our desire |
