rum & nostalgia

linger now, settling

forget i'm falling

)pedaling

slowly turn ( back and forth)

light to dark . guilty spark

 

late night talk.sleeping 

 memories

soak.feel (reality setting in

clogging present unfolding time

forgetting it was past

 

hot coals keep warm

(what used to be)

rusted hopes. too tired to try

nostalgic comfort

 

stay just awhile

while i pretend to be

other)foreign, hopes and dreams

only for now

 

time tries to dry my tearing eye

I read several of your poems.

Bravo!!! To see humanity to truly see, look through the eyes of a gifted poet. You are very gifted. We are made of strata like a sky turning from light to dark and shades, subtleties that we often ignore. It is hard to describe the deeper emotional feeling that your work raises in me other than to say, this poem especially, made me feel as if I would cry a little.That is a powerful tool that you have, to bring a tear to this man’s eye. Careful how you wield your power.

Peace

Dylan
