“Devastation”


 


Through all the agony


And all the pain


Devastation


When no one beside yourself


Ever read your work or care


For what you even think


I have reached


The ultimate state of mind


No matter what might be


The warmth and love


I get and feel inside


By reading your poetry


Your literary work


The only thing


That keeps me sane


Because in my mind


I know it is real


We sit here for hours


Exchanging


Our thoughts in verse


All part of a big show…


Of the heart I know


We keep penning new stories


Articles and poems


Even a few ideas


But all still


About life

Tinka,
I've asked myself over and over again in the last few months, Why I can't just throw the pen down and walk away? I still don't have that answer...so I'll continue the search.
This is an awesome write my Friend...

What a deeply moving testimony to value and power of shared creative vision. Among the old questions regarding poetry is whether or not it really matters. Lines such as these demonstrate that it does in the most real and significant ways. Thank you. And Peace:-)

Aaah, Tinka, often times we do not write what people want to read. The most important thing is who strongly and compassionate you feel about what you write. When that passion consumes you, you are elated that you have satisfied yourself. Keep writing, do not despair.
Beautiful poem I must say.

True...but the writing is the most important. It feeds us more than the reader. Well done and said, Tinka.
