A Vain Attempt At Returning To Poetry


walker

Recommended Posts

We have written nothing

for months we have just felt so many miles from words

but we need to find our way back

to be able to see into the soul we all share

so here is our first attempt

Future's Silence

Teetering

on future's edge,

trembling,

as she turns from us

veiling her face.

Her lips sealed,

her mind's eye

shuttered.

We are alone

in her company.

Barren thoughts

pervade us;

Vast nothings

swallow us.

We are alone

in her company.

Fear quakes

our bones,

churning waves

of frailty.

We are alone

in her company.

Hollowed out

by uncertainty;

Choking

on space.

We are alone

in her company.

I like it

Poetry is the one thing that keeps me going

It's hard to get back into it once you've stopped but once you start again it will be like you never stopped :)

Keep writing x

How much can I eulogise withouit becoming a stalker!!...................YOU are such an incredible talent............I wish I could spend an hour with you..................for lifetimes are measured by the company we keep, as opposed to those that we would seek, and I fear, I would not have the measure of you!!

But you have my honest heart as your prisoner

please be kind

thankyou so much for finding this and allowing it to 'be something'

this and attempts 2 and 3 are sort of together in that order

certainly 2 and 3 follow eachother about the same stuff inside us

thankyou xx
