You

I watch from afar

as I often do

invisible host, obliviously

hand in hand they weave

around rocks that know where to lose

those lies behind some crooked eye

stories unfold another way

promises remembered

paths not taken

darker times hold the key

wistful sighs from ancient tries

we were much younger then

how did we end up here?

with these broken dreams that cry and plead

while scattered goals blaze 

into the sunset

of our lonely years

misty tears 

as he wonders where the laughter went

she has no clue,

it was always you...

Getting there…There is still a ring in this though just like mine that breaks the original rule of poetry not being therapy. I think it's important to see it if you're going to break it because the tendencies are to repeat yourself. Nothing worse in artistry than circles. I like the way your words and style are coming around though. We should probably start drinking a lot more then we do…lol. Write about original thoughts and bring your emotions into them…be sad for the wives of a cloudy day…stuff like that. Or, you know…just tell me to shut up. I'm good with it.

🐔 thank you....I agree...it is a process and I certainly don't want to go in circles...hard to make progress, that way🐤

On second thought, I did write this one completely sober....hmmmm.... Perhaps I need to pick up a glass🐥 or two🐥🐥

Thank you for your time...

Catch up soon,

Alisa💫

~~ some people have such a profound impact on our lives... that they take a part of us... when they go away from our lives... for whatever reason... ~~ and sometimes... it's truly impossible for us to figure out exactly what happened... and so we can't do anything about it... ~~ i had this absent sense of self for many years... and then suddenly... one day... i found my laughter while reading someone who has a very black sense of humour...
