Poetry Month

Friday is the start of Poetry Month. I am pledged to 2 poems per day. It will be difficult made, wonderfully, more difficult by my general happiness.  Though I may have found my muse, so she will make it a little easier.

I look forward to writing them.  I hope you look forward to reading them.  If you like one then give it a like on the social media of your choice or on the site.  If you feel something when you read it, I invite you to comment. 

Thank you for reading, and I hope to see you on Friday.

Ode to sorrow

there, into darkness, I walk
kiss me, taste me
the moment stands still
just me, just you

alone

Writing poetry

I have not been writing much poetry lately. Basically because my poetry tends to come from a place of darkness and loss. And lately, I’ve been happy. I unboxed my memories of the night that My Morgan died and replayed through the events of that night. I came to the realization that I did everything I could. Took every measure possible. The weight I had been holding onto for 10+ years shifted to acceptance. This burden I had been placing, that I was the cause, that I was at fault fell away. There was a responsible party and it was not me.  Then I met someone interesting, beautiful though I had never seen them. We’ll see where that leads, but like I always say, Only forward.  This is good. These are good things. But it makes it hard to write my brooding poetry.  I’ll need to find another way to operate.

Soft light filters through

Missing from my arms
Silence and the soft sounds of someone getting dressed
The door opens then gently closes
A night lost in remembrance
In pleasure,  empty
Hollow like the echos of you leaving.

Poem

Knew I would burn out
At some point it’s inevitable
Lack of inspiration
Or desire
No stumble and fall,
Nor inexorable decline
But the warm drowning blanket of effort
A morass of indolence
Just float here and fail
