I cast aside what isn't there knowing someday may see its return, but in no hurry to chase it. Thoughts race through my mind, old thoughts as if they are new awakening in me those fearful moments of wondering what next to do. A backward race through time, some days a punch in the gut, others anticipation of the unknown. Both eating away at the pleasantries that could be. Always leaving me in doubt, looking through a window at the outside world wishing it were me, there, somewhere... laughing and enjoying. I am a ghost of myself, just an outline of possibilities needing the lift to up. Stuck for now, faintly visible to anyone's eyes as I negotiate day to day. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

A backward race through time, some days a punch in the gut, others anticipation of the unknown. Both eating away at the pleasantries that could be. This verse caught my eye too, but the whole poem is very moving; sounds of the blues, single horn, soft snare and top-hat, with a base and restrained guitar. A sad song, but deeply felt. |

Hi nakdthoughts, I loved the honesty of your message and the frequency that another event could return so easly, yet to pursue would not be of benefit at the moment. Very nice to be reading such wonderful poetry again, Love, Cerenity |
