Where Are You?

Sometimes words sit screaming inside a chasm
asking, “where are you”,
like a nightmare intimately breezes
from a cage fashioned for anyone
it recognizes first.

On the coldest of nights you can see their pain
in lines that make you close your eyes
for reasons
that you may not want to know.

Running takes you nowhere
when words scream out “I want you”
then entwine themselves
around the flesh
of your pen.

of course this poem should be a spellbound... God, you wrote it. No wonder it is...
Not too much of words but doubtlessly they are permanent and weighty. "then entwine themselves around the flesh of your pen."
Yeah, sometimes we just cannot be oblivious to those questions that we deeply yearn to find their answers... I love the very artistic and fine expressions you used here... A pleasing read.

As poets or poetess are the translaters of the quill and the inner soul of who who can't bring it to words, you did this wonderfully. Questions in general are a universum of thoughts, and philosophy I love to translate. Here I can, you're an equal of me! thank you! xo

Really? You were uncomfortable with some of these words? Brilliant poem again. And kind of different from you, too!

[Suicidal Teddybear]

I love this. I just... I don't have the words in my vicabulary

This is a very good poem! Nobody said poems have to be long and intricate to catch the readers attention and draw them in! It's definitaly one of my favs.

I believe this experiment turned out to be a success!! right from the beginning, your words captured so much essence and emotions, i was immediately drawn in. It was short and sweet!
Nice work!! :D
