Though it was cause for
Some small consternation
And might have taken
Away concentration
I sat down with the parchment
And the pen held between
To scribe onto the keyboard
Appearing bright on the screen
Any thoughts that might snap these
Dregs that have captured my mind
To dig deep inside me
And see what I can find
Everyday I receive love from
Friends I have discovered
But it seems lately like
I can’t get my response uncovered
Like the paper delivered
Landing right on the drive
But until it is read
The writing can’t come alive
And the minstrel can’t
Keep his strings all in tune
And the bard has been missing
Since yesterday noon
Perhaps there are bars on the windows
In the walls that surround me
And my spirit contained
Away from all that’s around me
It’s been hard to break free
And ride the crest of my wonder
And the time I spend chasing
This curse that I’m under
The answer is near
But for these rose colored shades
I might be dealing all hearts
But all I’m seeing is spades
And Sam Spade is never around
When I need something lost for awhile
So I’ll kick things around until what’s lost is found
And relax my poor face with a smile
But hark, through yonder window shines
Nothing but drops of rain from the sky
And I’m away from my
City by the bay and the pace
And around here no one passes by
I suppose that I’m just feeling sorry for myself
Whether or not I have cause
I’m not sure if it’s what I see
Around me or me
It’s not ruled by a firm set of laws
If I have made you frown
That’s really not my intent
It is just that here on the screen
The only place I can vent
And long gone are the days
When I’d find something to get high on
But it’s nice that you give me
A soft shoulder to cry on
I’ll be back to myself
With the coming of dawn
Not morose in the night
Primed to keep moving on
But tonight I can’t find
A feel for the place
Maybe I just need a hug
Or an endless embrace
But there’s
One thing that
This songless singer can see
Thanks for
Caring
Even a little
For me

I soooo hear ya!! Kudos.. well said!

Thank you, you are a lady to your fingertips :)

Awwww keeping writing your thoughts for within these
moments as the words start to flow upon the pages. It
releases the things that hold us down letting it all
out helps us break free. To see the person within who
we want to be once again for it is within our journey
must start. Nice one

Nice flow, jeeze vent away, not many vent with rhythm......
