This is why I write. I hope from a distance I've offered you a glimpse of my soul

                 From A Distance

 
From a distance you've read the verses
I've written, but did you read between the lines?
I wonder if you understand me,
I've offered my soul in every
rhyme.
I suppose that's what a writer does
and the legacy we leave,
giving its readers a glimpse of ourselves
with words of wisdom we hope you believe.
From a distance I pray you might
know who I am,
I hurt just like you and my heart understands.
I hope I write words you wanted
to say,
that God chose me to brighten 
your day.
From far in a distance I pray
you might see
a peek inside of who I
try hard to be.
A person who cares, a soul
that is real,
that strives to portray life's 
emotions we feel.
The greatest words are not
spoken but written,
and come from a place
that should never be hidden.
But shared with the world
rhyme after rhyme,
a piece of my soul
line after line.

I write from my soul.
I write from my heart.
And if you can undrestand me,
It's a great start.

i so enjoy your beautiful talent in expressing yourself with words. someof what i consider to be my better 'dramatic' writes are not necessarily autobiographical...parts inspired by experience perhaps but i draw from so many other places. I'm always taken aback when someone offers condolences for a situation I've written about assuming its me, rather than the piece itself.

i love reading your work even if theres no time to comment...'theotherwoman' was definitely one of my favorites. look forward tomore

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
