An Ode To Her Poetrysoup

It all became some big mess as joy was slowly sapped
Like resin from a tree ? While the days there grew darker..
Inspiration lost their wings yet no one cared what used to seem
Our playground and these seasons passed us by or better, still me
Holding on to nothing now but ghost in this machine ? Whom should we pity
Myself perhaps they I think the children we're all infants; priceless heart's...
Surely I find his own amid, their tear stained looking glass of youth ? Shall she
Beauty ever dance again a life her breath these dreams it used to be, our playground.

I know exactly how you felt when you wrote this, John. Some days, when inspiration cannot be found, can be the darkest days. Especially for people like us, whom need the poetry to bring a little light to our days. I hope you can find endless inspiration, John! Much love, Kelly

I remember when.... I was so dreamy as she, yet we didn't always see eye to eye, and was inspirational in the writing area, I so dreamy.... and I landed many jobs at newspaper offices, not limiting myself to just creative and somehow, I feel as though I lost the romantic side of myself somewhere along the way. I just got off work. Good to see you posting :) take care of yourself and God bless you my loving friend. Lucinda
