Here is another from "The Library of Congress" poems of my youth. This was one of the first I wrote.


Poem Artwork

He digs his poetic grave

It is evident he is a slave

To love

Digging his silent tomb

In the moonlight above

He asks “Where is the you of I?”

“We have become the “me” of “whom”

Now laid to rest in his manuscript shroud of regrets

In written words not so tender

By the habitual offender

Of love

Beautiful confession of love's lost treasures, Terry. Whether your own or another's experience makes no differnce--for poetry is the voice of many.

Terry,
Everyone is right, it's evident that something or someone has hurt you to the depth of your soul and it speaks volumns in the poetry that you wrote many years ago. I don't know if someone should have that much power to affect you so much. It's a very powerful poem and so very deep with feelings. It sounds like you have a very deep soul, with a lot of compassion also.
God Bless,
Linda
