JMH – thanks! I wrote that one…. drum roll… on a train. And it happened to be a very important train ride in my life. I think you know which one I am talking about…. Love the second poem.
SM, thanks for the comments. I have been writing literally for years (since I was nine)so it’s nice for me to get feedback from people who are simply reading my work and not just telling me they like it cause they know me. I have some pretty zany stuff too…
blabla, I love your latest poem – some of my most thoughtful/introspective poems came after I experienced major downs: here is an example:
Do you really love me
Deep down in your heart
Or is it really just
A whole big work of art?
How am I supposed to know
What goes in in your mind?
How do I know the feelings you hold
Are good and gentle and kind?
Please don’t conceal whatever
Feelings you hold for me
I’m willing to be friendly to everyone else
Can’t you take me for me?
I wrote that about ten years ago when I was going through a rough patch with friends, and I have always hated false people.
