PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in a voice that speaks of such great care

I say

this woman before you has lived

and oh, how she has lived

nearly free in fact

of all bitter injustice

she has loved

with the best in her

that she has had to give

so, I give this very her freely

without strings

over to you

which is none other than the latest

now of me

no more

no less

emotions poured over pages

much too few

but let loose

at last upon such

unopinionated page

I am in so many ways

so very different

and yet

not so too terribly

different in ink

with the breeze able soul

so sweetly caught

mesmerized

between the heart and mind's

hard to define intangible link

why, I am brevity itself

so thinly stretched out

beyond my day and age

absorbed by the sensation

of each my set of selected words

and likely partly

predestined to share such

thwarting thoughts

right out of

my ever lovin' mind

hands down

and likely

in spades

with you

so

always thus so

I continue to write............
