I’m finally here
I still hear you sing
And I hear you sing black
Amidst the aging trees
That shelter you
They shelter me
Funny, I thought she’d be here with me
Funny…I’m so much younger than when I first had this dream
And in the mist that touches me
I feel her here
An angel of mist
I feel her here
Beside me
I’m so sorry
For the hurt within me
I know she wore wings
So I know she had to leave
And I can feel a star above me
So please understand
If I now wish only
To sway to black
For I’ve grown but small
And my heart’s grown weak
But I’m here
Where I’d always longed to be
Where a raindrop echoes
reflecting a star
far above me
Where black is the moon
Where black shelters me
Where I shall forever be
Where I shall forever sleep
To the sound of my song
Which I didn’t sing
Here’s everything
And this time
I’m not missing
I'm so glad you're here! Thank you!
This is very cool, comfort in black and it doesn't feel sad to me like black sometimes does, it feels right.
I'm so glad you like this Pandora... as of late I;ve been trying to write as positively as possible else my own words tend to throw me into a hole...and that ain't good for no one: )

Writing from an inspired happy place is much more difficult than from pain and sorrow or anger, maybe because the need to write isn't as great. Contentment, I guess, makes for a lazy writer.
Writing with a positive feel has a beauty that touches the reader and lifts them, maybe even stays with them longer.
Its like love, a gift of love in words, that is cherished, sometimes even guides the reader.
So when we are well there is still a need to share, it can have great meaning for others. I say spread the love!
And you got a lot of love to share! anyone so in touch with their inner spirit, as you are, has so much to share.
Wow, reminds me of home, thank you Steve, just lovely!
Your home looks like THAT?
Wowza!
Wisconsin, my home state, it reminds me of an early snowfall in autumn, nothing like a first snowfall.
It is magical no matter how old you are. Doubly beautiful when the trees are still in their change.
Each flake slowly falling hypnotizes.
You can choose to take in the whole scene, the mass of white movement or watch one flake on its journey to the ground.
The colorful leaves peek thru the rising snow cover and on the breeze is the smell, a mixture of old and new. The dead leaves and the fresh cold wet smell of new snow.
It is so quiet, the breeze tries to move the heavy leaves wet with snow but can not, the rustle of fall leaves is hushed for a time.
It is a very special moment to take in. A fall snow.
I would do this to myself… when still young
Like to my guitar
With the words I’ve sung
“So neat the mess
Could fall in love”
Fuck I drowned in love
Now on the flip side
I’m just stains
of love
This is cool, you captured much better than I could have
just how I felt when looking at the pic.
I thought of being young again, so in love,
the love of the young very different than that of the old.
Abandoned, captivated, enchanted, submerged in the thought of love.
And young love so messy, undiscovered territory. Doing it all wrong.
Very nice, thank you

kudos on the dark side from the lovely! well done
I think about the trees though being so old and standing through it all, "knowing" as you say, being witness to.
Heartbreaking to see one dropped.
do you remember the drunken punch you threw?
luckiest punch in the history of pugilism,...
the blood flowed from my nose,
and in a soft white tow
made a perfect butterfly,..
and then
we kissed, and laughed, and cried...
do you remember when I slept for 36 hours straight,..
under your piano?
to wake me,
you softly played Moonlight Sonata,..
and lovingly handed me a glass of wine
and then
we kissed, and laughed, and cried,...
Peace, Love.

I look at myself in the mirror and I see a goddamn chic
Not the man I used to be
Hell, did I ever become a man to begin with
I was a boy until recently
Now a woman trapped in a man’s body
Suffocating in a woman’s body
She’s pretty
But look at me
Not the man I never used to be
Maybe I oughtta pull my pants up, just slightly
Maybe if I get my hair outta my eyes
I might see things a bit more clearly
… just maybe

I drowned in love
De-surfaced stained…

Very nice, thank you
could easily be a great song
Send my credentials to the house of detention
even God bleeds
Simply beautiful. I can go on a long walk and just daydream.... Thank you for sending.
Very nice poem. The word Love written in different languages, we all want love and need it....
yes, Love in different languages ... so nice... I dont see it in Urdu though... that would be "Pyar"... no facility to write it in my script : (

very loving... nice : )
while dodging dragon flies
I spied you weeping
for the lost ones
please don’t cry
I’ll save them if I can
opps, I’ll enslave them in a can
I siphon dirty chlorine water
from the forgotten pool
into a garden pale
the flowers long for a drop of water
a wet kiss
chlorinated death
