Blog, safely and afraid

A Poem by tj808

It’s experiences I need now not stuck in some

four walled cocoon looking for safe things to

Magic Up with words - am thinking of Bukowski

now - he lived life on the edge and wrote about It

- I live on the edge - the very edge of emptiness.

In Safety now. and what I find is I have nothing else

To write about maybe it’s an age thing as well

Everything looks and feels like a repeat these days

Author's Note

tj808
This was written after I posted about Bukowski on my blog. It emphasised that my life is so safe now and as a result so limited, whereas Bukowski lived on the edge all the time and remained true to his art. I am sure my writing suffers as a result. I am in a sort of tunnel vision. Very limited vision.

I've written poetry since my teens. I am now 50+. I have changed my style over the years and I read my old poetry with some embarrassment - as I will in 10 years time when I read the poetry I write no.. more..
