Norman, there’s a terrible loneliness in being surrounded by life and still feeling entirely alone. This one got to me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is a prison with crazy bars that move and even sometimes return. A personal fave. 👍🏻🕊️

One of my favorite songs Vincent by Don McLean, I could tell right off that this was following that trend. This poem is brilliant in its brevity and ability to convey the same meaning to anyone that knows the story where so many familiar images of his life are incorporated into it. I truly love this poem my friend.

Norman, this has that late-night feeling when sleep isn\'t happening and your mind decides it\'s the perfect time to revisit everything you\'ve ever loved and lost. Thanks, brain. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Pain and beauty do seem inseparable very much like two sides of the one coin of life. A joy to read 🙏🏻🕊️

I love the meter of this poem. My favorite lines :
\"Midnight weeps
With tired eyes\"
I feel that phrase having been there before. In its sadness it speaks to me my friend. A fave

Norman, that last invitation made me stop for a second. Sometimes there\'s an awful lot waiting for us when everything else finally shuts the hell up. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes, a wretched thing, listening closely for a non-existent bus! lol. We could have walked the route by now.

Loved the combination of rhyme with short meter to set the tone of this poem. It becomes like a metronome in its ticking pulling one onward toward the end. Nicely done my friend.

Reminds me of those songs that sing about being too young to love, but that isn\'t so, I have found in many painful ways, lifetimes ago. Must moving, my friend 👍🏻🤩🕊️ a fave

Norman, this is tender and sad in that old-first-love kind of way...the memory is sweet, but that final wondering gives it the ache. Beautiful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This one touched me Norman. Maybe we all have such a thought and feeling. The sting of nostalgia for something lost in a sunny past. Memories of a spring long ago when one is in fall. It touched me my friend. A fave.

Fine words Norman about a state of the world that need not be there if those in power and with the money cared.

Norman, I like this a lot. You’re listening where respectable society usually tries very hard not to hear anything. The people pushed to the edges still have stories, and sometimes the gutter has a hell of a lot more to say than the polished places do. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write N. We\'ve sat down in the gutter, having stood for ages waiting for that bus. One solution might be - someone passed the bus stop and said to us: \'Oh, that route stopped 30 years ago\'. lol.

This poem creates a dark and noir feel in its imagery. It feels like a world of shadows, suffering, sadness and danger that gives a thrill to those searching for such. Nicely crafted with rhyme it seems to echo out of dark streets. Well done Norman
