Never Again

I’ve taken every piece of

Advice that can be given,

I have made it who I am,

Poured my passion on the

Pages over endless nights,

Read books, articles,

Everything that is offered

But still it is not enough.

They say that I am

Brilliant, an artist of

Words- but why then

Is my work in the shadows

When I long to see it

Shine under the light of

A reader’s eyes. That’s

All I’ve ever wanted,

To write and to be read

But how can that

Be done when the

World is dead and

Cannot see the fire

Of my heart as I

Try to spread the

Tune of my soul’s

Song, expressing hope

That is clearly wrong

For a world that

Fears embracing life.

Well sleep as long as

You like in the beds of

Your sorrow, your

Contemporary crap,

Because I no longer

Write to be read,

I write now because

If I don’t then I feel dead.

[Rossen]

loved every word, very profound work.

When I cannot see the fire in my heart,
I look for a muse.. see the fire in there heart,
lift them up.
sparks ignite my passion returns, spelling and grammar still lack.

Very nicely written, you've put in all the emotions necessary. Well done!

[Hello, Goodbye]

I identify with your words and feel empathy toward the resolute emotions that you convey. It flow seems simple at its start but with every new line we are sunk deeper into candid expressions offf artistic merit. I loved reading this, particularly the conclusion.. since I too hold a relentless need to express by way of words.

Your heart reached my soul I like works that make me feel and this does that very well word smithed it was great

[SpokenWord]

It is always best to write for self, writing for others is draining and they are never happy with the gift a writer gives. You are good with words, your poetry is always pure and flowing. I enjoy it, like all the rest and this one confirms your talent even more.

I loved reading this, every line offered a new turn and you can tell that this piece is personal, because of the fact that it's filled with so much emotions. I agree the world is lacking in life. It's also over dosing in trends. I loved reading this, because it made me think, of all of the things that are going on in this world that are more often than not ignored because they are convinient. Thank you for that.

Love love love the ending. This is a great statement about writing in general and a great creed for all aspiring writers to read. Excellent poem.

[Coyote Poetry]

Sometimes words on paper are easier to understand then real life. I feel we give up too soon. Love should be slow and easy. A lot of people rush into love and forget to enjoy and celebrate the steps of love. Words brought peace to my disappointed heart. I was lucky. I had a wise Father. He told me. "If you lose a woman. Find another one and leave the sadness behind." His advice was true with 53 years of life. Took me 37 years to find my poor wife. I like the ending. Writing has been my peace for 36 years.
