The need for love can have tragic consequences especially for poets.

Death of a Poet If only my heart had a home somewhere to reside, not to be alone. So much to live for� Pause, while I think just what? And watch a moonlit night disappear from sight blinded in eternal darkness. So much to die for�. Imbued with elixir from the chalice of love. �Set me free� Ha! More mythology for the masses. Looking through a dark chest of memories with eyes that see no future blinded in eternal darkness. Rivers of confusion slacken the grip on the creative urge The palpitating heart, beats with a fatal shiver Limbs begin to twitch and quiver rigid in eternal darkness. Poisoned with platitude I lie breathless on a bed. P Williams � 2005

A dark absorbing vision that offers much to contemplate, as with some of those by Sylvia Plath and others. In the event the question in the second stanza is not rhetorical, please consider that one thing worth living for is the ongoing unfoldment of possibilities for beauty, discovery, and personal empowerment offered by poetry, which obviously has befriended your life in a meaningful way. Peace.

when a poem is written with platitudes and cliches it can make us feel like were about to die ...

We only die until..again we write. Then our world thrives with more life than ever before.
Awesome write Paul.
