Words Written

Why I write the way I do.

I write my songs about lost loves

dreams that might have been

memories of summer nights

stories with a bitter end

my words are written about the past

sometimes it's hard to explain

They are who I am and what I feel

I find beauty hidden in the pain

I can't write about happy times

even though I've had my share

I am a poet of the down highway

of lost souls who wander there

I guess I got a ways to go

I guess I ain't quite grown

I hold on to misery

to the pain I've always known

Maybe someday I'll change my style

write a different song

Maybe someday it all will fit

I'll be someone..I'll finally belong

But for now my words

tell the story of me

all that I've seen

in my quest to be free

you are right, your words may seem tragic but they are beautiful because the are REAL, like you.. trust me no one reads your work and thinks "oh he is so ho-hum" because you always have something interesting and wise to say thru a life that's seen many things... it makes me want to live, maybe not the same experiences you've had, but the depth of your experience.

[*** Hey Jude***]

You need not explain, but thank you for sharing these intense thoughts and emotions that are full of your truth! That's what makes this piece, and all of your work fantastic; your write from a place within that is reality! So good to read your work again, its very refreshing. ~ Jude xoxo

And they are a joy to read. I don't know why you felt the need to explain, but I guess you have your reasons. I have always loved your larger than life stories and will continue to do so...

this is a fantastic piece of writing rain... i have truly missed your words...

i believe that the mishaps in life make the best stories or poem... otherwise the tale would be boring...

[BrightEyes]

your words are unique; always your perspective is one I have not thought of before. I have missed that while you were gone. your words are true and always forthright; that is your gift to us. :-)

Oh...I love this piece. For I can relate to it a lot. I write about tragedy too...well, almost all the time. A reviewer once wrote if I have trouble feeling happiness.
I think I do. That is probably the reason I liked this one so much.

Something else that I enjoy reading is humor and you write a lot of that too. And the matter-of-fact manner in which you present it makes it all the more enjoyable. One of my favorite's happens to be the one you wrote about meeting the mother-in-law.
What an amusing write that was...

[Cassidy Mask]

Really nice.
Like the subtle rhymes.
