he is ... who he is

he is ... who he is
cares nought about most things
cares nought about ... what he cares nought about

mercilessly slashed by lost-love's razor
he occilates between states of broken heartedness
and those of indifference

life wounds are deep
he seeks pain relief from the contents of his glass
comfort comes from musical vibrations

bittersweet memories of love ... flavor the poetry
of his awoked hours
visions that wallow in valleys of flesh ... flavor the poetry
of his dreams

his heart aches for an eternal love's embrace
embedded within, dwells the spark of salvation's ray
someday it could shine forth in awesome brilliance

until then
he is ... who he is
cares nought about time, nor change
cares nought about ... what he cares nought about

such is his bliss

Sounds familiar to me, perhaps too close to home. Still doesn't detract from this superb piece Gwen, every word has a power of it's own. Sheer excellence!

Gwen this is an astonishing portrait of the reclusive poet who is what he is and expects all to accept him that way,and frankly doesn't "give a damn my dear" if you don't! A very difficult hard shell to pierce! Superb poem!

Has such a lonely, Eleanor Rigby feel to it...
and I've known such emotional-recluses like this.
I truly enjoyed this "psychological study," Gwen.

Maybe someday Gwen.

This is a very sad, but all too true piece. Everyone that has had their heart broken over lost love, whether the love is espousal, platonic, parental, sibling, or from someone else, knows the truth in the words you have written Gwen.

Masterfully written Gwen, like an artist's portrait on a canvas. This is very first rate work, Gwen, and even tho it brought back very horrific memories, I did enjoy reading this.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

A deep and intense write that sears the page and heart..
The poet aspires to paint his life's canvas in the most honest and direct way...
You accomplish it superbly...
