I read you

dusk arising

 

 

tonite I read your poetry
and filled up deep inside
time and again my tears fell
at thought of things I write

 

sometimes so sorrowful
and oft I think im pleased
but here in tears of all your feelings
l'm like a void inside

 

           I know I feel the passion
           to show my world inside
           but your pain your colours
           your verve and lust
           overpowers how I write

 

nonetheless I cannot stop
I have to let this out
its here in me and it needs to be
outside and cast about

 

for in my street and in the store
you'll never see what's me
until I open up my shelf
and you read my poetry

      Thank you Rose, I was unsure whether readers would think it was a typo and should be self.

          True Dusk !! No one can fathom the depths of a poet !! They are a never ending mystery always !!:)

          So beautiful
          If love could be written
          This is the finest
          So emotive and so warm
          The closing lines were just epic
          So well the good was so felt and itโ€™s silence made a great noise
          A bug clap dear Dusk

            LOL at your tiny typo in last line there. Don't alter it, I don't take myself seriously and that made me laugh out loud. Thank you spiller.

                  Beautiful the inner self requiring release not through anger or tears but by beautifully presented poetry, ๐Ÿ‘ a wonderful piece of self preservation to exorcise one's own daemons.

                  • dusk arising

                    Those deamons are definitely there and I feel them when I'm emotionally involved with my poetic subject which I need to be to write.... even if it's a complete fiction.
                    Thank you for your super comments here.

                    truly, each poem
                    is like sharing a page
                    from our eclectic personality,
                    a wonderful metaphor
                    for poetry, inked with sincerity..
                    a great read, thanks Dusk

                    The most intense are the internal battles, as so clearly evident in your poetry
