  'Numb tastes so sweet, arriving ahead of trailing pain, like dusk
  but - without a twilight face;
  in between place
  of calm: your eye
  amidst the storm
  & with it all, that withdrawal
  makes me meeker, ever bleaker.'
  (forgive my rudeness, dear Poet
  I just couldn't resist
  what a great write!)
  damn, you're just getting better and better
  sadly, I'm sure you've noticed the more abstract and poetically elevated your wording is
  the less enthusiasm, for your brilliance, but know
  that's nothing to do with you
  its just, modernity has made us all lazy
  and people are tired of 'thinking'
  and more morbidly
  most of us, have been 'conditioned'
  to not, think
  for ourselves
  and so, when people find a challenging read
  sometimes, they switch-off
  instead of fighting to comprehend..
  anyway, in-short
  keep being yourself, and writing what you want/ How, you want..
  ignore the response or lack there-of
  I'm sure you feel it yourself, your Poetry is growing and finding its identity, soon
  it will be soaring: effortlessly!
  and there-in, your effort's
  rewards, await
  to be claimed, time n again

    Thank you & it's alright - I never expect anyone to read or like my poems, I've just been writing a lot & this is a nice place to put them. If I was ever a poet, I'd never be a popular one but more of a niche one, which is fine by me. & I always get to read & enjoy your comments - what more could I want?
