Just Like the Mean Reader

Even beauty begs 
Not like the downtown folk
You beg as you surrender
To the one who can't remember 
As the thought of you two sinks
In your scratched soul
Her thoughts are buried in the fall
Where she met the king fisher 
That hooked her heart you cant reach

She knows your art is great
She confesses to all her friends
That you are the only thing she has got
But you have nothing

She reads all your stories with a twitch 
Smiles at the words you tweet  

But like the mean reader
When she looks at your eyes she cant even wink 

She cant waste any ink
On a soul she never picked

She must be afraid, frightened to relearn how to replenish that priceless ink. A stupendous write RRC., I relish the poigyant paradox of "That you are the only thing she's got, but you have nothing..." J.A.B.

Hi Rodgers, WOW, I'm in love with this poem... WOW! Can I have this... I'm kidding..... The art in one, is great when found. The means of a reader, should never be the amount of thoughts, but the quality of the ones she can reach.... I know you have your own meaning to your words. However, I love the way you captured my attention. Thank you so much, for the lovely visit... Hugs... This is my new favorite poem... xox~ LINDA
