My Place

This an old piece but in light of last weeks events I decided to post this again, its original meaning blends well to the rape of writerscafe.

My Place

 

If there was a time, it is now,

If there ever was a day, it is today,

This is your chance, your only chance, my only chance.

Please...

 

The defining moment is nigh,

It calls and calls, it rains on deaf ears,

Listen harder; ignorance will not work this time.

Please...

 

You have the power, do not waste it,

So much time has been lost but it's not to late,

Carpe Diem, do not let the poetry die.

Please...

 

Regret eats the soul, it will take yours,

Why let it when you can fight?

I will not let you down; the rest is up to you.

Please... I beg you.

Author's Note

I wrote this piece last year, it is more relevant if you know what date I wrote it, you may ask and I will answer, and no my plea was not heeded. Mx

sweet plea

whatever the back story this piece works as a frank honest call to a lover to save the relationship.

i almost called you...just in case it was me then i realized you don't know me and i don't you...lol

the plea was that powerful

good writing.

Beautfully written ...

So many messages here. But still we go on wasting time and energy. Like the way it builds up to the pleading at the end.

[Darryl Salach]

[Zane Mathias]

[mattavelli]

This is great!!
It seems you really want something.
What is this date?

[Nick Erickson]

Very good poem suited well for this time at WC.
The pleading is very prevelant in this piece, pleading for a new beginning.
Well done.

this was moving so speaking to us. wonderful. but i have to say, am I am not sure if I will be re-posting my text. you are such a lovely soul, always. this writing is piercing.

Aw, but sometimes our best work. But this is a good chance to wipe the slate clean and start new. The possibilities are limitless. New styles, new thoughts, bigger ideas. . . I'm looking forward to your new work.

(This one was new to me)

I'm not sure what day you wrote this, but I have to agree with Cat. Without your note, I would think this a request for everyone to take a breath, calm down, and keep the faith . Keep doing what we do , which is write. either way - this is a great write. I'm sorry your plea was not heeded as well - I've found sometimes we can share our feelings - but in the end, we can't make others heed our advice.

A definite call to arms here - thank you for this - I think we are all feeling the crunch although I think of it as a way to weed out stuff and edit. Nicely done, Manoosh, thank you for sharing. Succinct and telling. A pleading that no one can ignore - especially now!
Light,
