In Retrospect

In Retrospect As an appreciated audience, though small, you are inspirational, the reason to give my all. To do the best that I am able, telling my tales of times and entities responsible for what ails – lost moments, unfulfilled dreams, all that fails – a broken heart, a fractured spirit, a soul smitten are the essences of my words, words I have written, cathartic visions, healing, this is what you have read. All, has left the building, the confines of this old head and onto pages of poetry / rhyme that I spread across the uncertain, uneven grounds of this plane. Know that all the emotional pain - heartache, again and again - I would never, ever refrain from any of those moments I did live nor deny, to the one’s, whom I did give. What has been placed before your eye, came from all the pain, the tears I cry for the loss of all that would never be. These poems / rhymes came from what I see, blinded by a desire to rise above and get to know another’s love. B. J. “A” 2 December 25, 2012
