When I no longer place my words Where others can peruse them It may be time has taken its toll Upon the parchment of my soul For ink has bled until well's dry In pain of friendship gone awry When darkness steals light away Because dreams are now in decline When eyes are opened to the truth And indifference becomes uncouth
how on earth did I miss this gem?! you might know by now how much I appreciate imagery and you have packed it into this poem! I like the subdued intensity.
Oooo - can so feel this: the pain of the dry pen scratching holes in the bleached parchment of the soul. I, too, am agonising with emotional fracture at the moment and feel that my writing lacks homogeneity: either too flip or too depressive. I like the way that you liken this barren dryness to indifference: puts a deft finger on WHY perhaps we DO experience these desertous times... and the cause of indifference, perhaps, in the first place. May your fountain be deeply refreshed from its true Source. LOL Kate xx
Well I don't care where you place your writes as long as I get to read them. ;-) Perhaps you are just experimenting with an emotion in this poem, eT, but I identify with what you've said. Very well done. ~~Nordette

I believe that one of the responsibilities of a real poet is to explore, on occasion, those places that do not necessarily represent who we are, or what we believe, but represent what creative thought is.
Dear One, you are one that does this fluidly!

You are on our church prayer list. :) Do not stop writing, as Karen says; write for you; write because you love to; write, write, write. Don't give them the satisfaction of driving you off; that's what they want. Extra (((HUGS))),
Don't let those jerks get to you! You are way better than they will EVER be, and to see this breaks my heart! Do NOT stop writing; you have many friends! You are in my prayers!!!!
I love you!!

All poets have a way of penning emotions so well that unless we draw from personal experience we don't animate very well. Your pens are always moving and bring into the mix...the emotions of your readers. All this is the correct equation to a poet's success. There are times when we feel drained, however...and just need a getaway. Take it easy.
You do it all so well Eileen.

Eileen, it's a good point, why reveal your iner thoughts to the world on paper/ why expose your dreams and fears to the online community. I think writing something that wasn't there before gives a writer pleasure, but it's good to maintain your privacy at the same time. And the web is a never-ending well... no matter how many poems you drop in, there is still room for more.

May be "just a poem," but there are deep-seated convictions that brought it about.
Indifference is far more painful, than so called hatred or love!
You have expressed yourself well, and I do believe I understand where you are coming from..
