Wilma Neels Poet Light Verse

'cryptic Notes'

Cryptic notes on dirt stained walls 
She gets to read the beating of your heart 
Instead of feeling it  
The distant cry of unrequited love 
So loud 
We heard it on the other side of town 

You wore it on your sleeve
Proudly displayed 
Never doubting what you felt
Even though she never acknowledged it 
You hoped she would reciprocate 
Until that day you got tired 
Of putting up a brave face

You finally decided to move on

Karl Marszalowicz August 11, 2016 at 8:08 PM With all that potential direction in such a poem just point it towards the dark or the light the bloody or the murderous romantic and let people know. I was left not knowing how to feel exactly.

Joe Maverick November 18, 2015 at 1:19 PM Well all things can be subject to change I reckon Wilma, true reflections from the life of someone, much like many others.' so much to emphasise in your writes, well done.'

Andrea Dietrich November 17, 2015 at 4:14 PM wilma , I really like this. Do you write these kinds of poems based on friends or just out of the air (like I often do!) Wilma Neels November 18, 2015 at 8:00 AM Hi Andrea, it depends, like most of my writes they do have a human influence to it. But this one was definitely out of the air :)

Richard Lamoureux November 16, 2015 at 4:28 PM That seems like a good decision. Sometimes people wait and wait and end up missing out on something real. Well expressed. Wilma Neels November 18, 2015 at 8:01 AM Hi Richard thank you for dropping in on my side :) Hope your week is a good one so far
