Poems in the moment

[David Merlyn]

Turn off the lights,
let your soul go black,
when the whole world ends,
you stand in shadow,

All that you have loved,
everything lost,
how much did you pay,
what was the cost?

An open heart,
the circle closed,
forever black,
a stranger stares in the mirror.


Just a poem off the top of my head. what poem best describes you right now?

 

[IamJaded]

There's a lump in my throat,
as I re-read the pm,
the message was clear,

"There is too much YOU in your request thread".

He could have also added, 'There are too many NO's on your F-List'.

Just some friendly advice that wasn't sent with the intention to hurt, but it did.

No one here wants to know about you,
was the message received,
despite that I was so certain the info I wrote about me was brief.

Ideas too detailed, and too long,
But another told me the opposite,
Not long enough!

But I tend to agree with the first,
Because I know me,
I easily get carried away when excited,
over a new story.

But I didn't know it was a bad thing.
Please understand,
I just want to write.

'What the hell is wrong with me', I wonder,
Because if this happened to me offline,
I would have reacted differently,
with a "Thanks for the advice,"
and not let it bother me.

But instead I have watery eyes,
And a lump in my throat,
Thinking, 'What the hell did I do?'

"There is too much YOU in your request thread"
Was how I interpreted the pm,
Though it wasn't sent to hurt or offend.

I easily get carried away,
I didn't realize it was a bad thing.
Please understand,
I just want to write.
