I don't feel my poetry like I used to

.

oh bring back those passionate fiery days 

pwhere the fire in my heart wrote

words of praise and denigrations 

where the terror of losing you

ripped through my heart...


Now letting go hurts less 

and the words lay stagnant on the page 

i hope with my head 

and kill it with my heart 


rise in me that bellowing fire,

those gracefully swirling lashes of flame

passionate  flickers and warm tender embers 

bring my soul back to that place 

where words and love held meaning 



I'm losing my religion;

my heart refuses to listen.


My words are stuck;

the truth seems so cold 

and I am desperately fighting numb...

Nothing is ever lost respected SSmoothie

Nothing is ever lost respected SSmoothie. Newtons Law "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed" The same thing is reborn at some other place at some other time in a different shape. We must live on hope. Hopeful we live.. hopeless we fall/fail. Letting go is awfully easy SS !! Letting go will end a person in a monastery or alone atop a god-forsaken high mountain where he/she'll think and think his brains out but none to share or care. If one person cares then life is worth living. Sorry for the nonsensical blabbering. Ignore this comment if I bored/annoyed you SS.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

your writing is so vivid, i love that. you still have that part down. 

it'll come back. you'll get immersed in the flow just like before. perhaps this is just momentary?

I'm praying, I hope everyday,

I'm praying, I hope everyday, it's a bit difficult when you read such beauty formed of others hearts and minds moved to script, in delicate font and visual cypher, I feel such mediocrity when faced with such stunning arrangements of thoughts and emotions. ;) hugss

it's all just in our head

ah, but what you think is mediocrity, might be beauty in the rest of our eyes. not might, is. and what we think is mediocrity, is beauty to your eyes. it's all just in our head, we are all just partially blind when it comes to seeing ourselves in full force, beauty, and power.
