Snippets

 

Why?

You!

Yes you

who can command my heart,

why have you chosen to deny me?

 

Indecision

Variegated shrubs

cannot decide.

Dark or light,

intense or muted.

 

Clouded Anger

The wind and clouds

deny my skin

the power of the sun.

Yet here I lie

between the shadows

of the earth.

 

Alone

Winter has come

and gone,

and yet

here I remain

in my permafrost

of loveless ice.

 

Pervasive Evil

Such bright intentions

do not always bring forth light

for the devil sings darkly.

 

Lost Love

Cold effigies

of death's remains

between our hearts.

 

Lost Faith

I shed a tear

but no one really listens

to the breaking of hearts.

KLGoode has a lot to answer for since I was just trying her bite size writing out. Thanks Andrew.
Indecision speaks to me most here John but I also relate to Pervasive Evil. A darker collection than the others but still powered throughout by good imagery and intensity. It is a confidant writer who embarks on this course I feel. Kudos John.

Thanks Anto you are most kind.
I love the formatting of your words. The bold print draws the eye, absorbing the articulation that is there.
