Alone I Stand

Alone I stand, it's midnight and from my mind with a steady hand As I write through my pen onto this blank pad, inking many thoughts I have Assembling into rhymes, unknown riddles of my life transcribed Into endless lyrical lines, asking questions from within of all kinds Why existence is mysterious, as is time therefore it seems Reality indeed without ease to truly define yet still I try Steady I ride, the glass rails in my stone mind and with few details I find sanity eludes me without sign becoming increasingly Difficult to attain each time, so rack my brain and shock my mind Attempt to compose what's left of my lost and twisted, misplaced mind state then I remenesse on my life, to recollect how to write my name ~Sincerely, Name.

GKNO, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Linda, thank you for your support and encouragement ! :] I'm just getting into being online, but I'm glad I joined. I've been writing on and off for a few years, in my spare time but I consider it more free writing or lyrical. I love to write, if just to clear my mind or freestyle with friends. My writings aren't perfect either, but I really enjoy the feedback and I will indeed go check out your words :] and follow you. I really want to improve my skills and write more. I got a few good ones for you I'm working on getting them up, still getting used to technology instead of a notebook and pen. But thank you so much again !! I'm really glad I met a poetic friend. Happy holidays, I will write you again soon. Your poetic writer Gkno.
