Let Me Write

Let me write…. Of hell and paradise Of lover’s compromise Of dreams yet unfulfilled Of how I love you still Let me write…. Let me write…. Of longing for the end Of people who pretend Of desire to be free Of changing destiny Let me write Let me write Of passion’s sweetest flow Of serene afterglow Of love that's make believe Of my heart's need to grieve Let me write Let me write My words show I am weak My words, my chance to “speak” My words can calm the pain My words, my sun and rain Let me write Let me write I need to bare my soul I need to be made whole I need to freely fly I need these tears to dry Please, Let me write Eileen Manassian Ghali

I love the style you used here. I agree with Nette's view on the way this depicts an artist's mood! As for that acrostic, yes, it was very odd to have to start some of the lines with words like "seems" I did not like having to start a line with a verb. It makes a jolt between the ending of the previous line and that one!!

Chase the sun. Embrace the sun. Stop letting it rain, allow it reign. Write for your right to fly.
