If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between the metaphoric lines. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unwritable things never whispered of. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed. But, otherwise, I’m a deep visualizing poet creating particular facets, not only line by line but even the shades and innuendo between them; to the point that, I can get so comfortably caught up in my imaginations first imperfect draft that I sometimes just move in to stay there… rhetorical, spelling, grammar, mechanics be damn, nothing in life is that perfect. I don’t need tailor-made, I need someone/something to fit well enough that it becomes fashionable for me to wear well. I don’t need to pretend to know everything and I resist pontificating those things I’m well versed in.
I'm just a simple romantic at heart waiting on a perfect storm to completely sweep over me like gentle fresh dawn. In the meantime, I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer.
Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

Worked… are you kidding, where do you think I’m writing from? 😉 Writing imo, is merely the utterances of a heart, only in silence.

She did not leave. If you look closely, you will see she never leaves. Very well-written!

You will see she is there. Maybe she just wanted some silence.

I have looked, the reflections of her absence are now mere fragments…adrift on the watery cover like me. I must wait to be recovered…someday

When that day comes, make sure to hold on to her more tightly.

Ahhh to to hold on would be the same as to entrap what desire freedom to leave- at will and that’s not love, its ownership.

So it will last forever. If you owned her, you could have lost her.

I own no one any more than I own a whisper that was already lost to the wind

Did you want to hear that whisper again? Did you feel left alone when you lost the whisper? Was it as if you were watching yourself leave you?

I was the whisperer, now I;m the darkness void of light because the light by nature has moved onward.

Maybe your own light left you with the whisper. Do you want to catch it?

What comes out of the mouth is from the heart. Words or sounds. The heart is our essence.
