Most of my traumatic life was lived

One dire storyline at a time

Expressing disappointments

Or fresh heartbreaks of my life

Cynics thought friends; laughed, and say

It’s time boy for you to turn the page

Leaving me face down on the ground

As they all easily walked away

But you never could or did

And helped erase dark times away

Until your life burned out too soon

So, dear child when it comes to you

Nothing’s ever going to feel the same

And I just can’t… turn that page

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.

There are some pages of the life of a loved one we must never turn the page on,for by doing so it feels as a disservice to the life they lived! Yes we move forward,but the memories written on the pages of their life keeps them ever close and must remain open to read! Blessings Always.

  Absolutel right, and Thank you. Be very blessed as well, Julia. That one really more or less wrote itself when I heard an old favorite song of mine by Bob Segar, Turn the page.

    Easy to see how your poem floated on the paper after hearing “Turn the page”. I really like that song as well, and another Bob Seger song “Against the wind” is my favorite. They don’t sing music like that anymore or so it seems. Take Care.

    I so agree. Bob Seger and Neil Diamond (I am I said) were always two of my listening favorites growing up. I keep them in my favotes list still today. Thank you for the chat as well. Peace…

    I hear you, neil diamond is timeless! Songs of the 60’s and 70’s will always have a special place in my heart. Good talking with you.
