Somehow It Seems I Forgot

Somehow it seems I forgot Why should I write each emotion I’m feeling when no one will stroll to my side An unending song filled with passion and yearning now praying for one to confide Dreaming in colors that glow in a meadow where butterflies float on the breeze Alongside a river of flowing desires meandering under the trees Why take my pen from its brown leather casing and place it on top of the page Spilling some ink in a nice cursive fashion just ends up revealing my age Where no one will read as they go passing lightly in search of the next future star While here I will sit at a desk made a plastic away from wherever you are Can you explain in a poetic sentence why words can’t be read like they feel Is it a style or a strange way to tell us that lacks in enormous appeal Comments won’t come if you stand slinging arrows with targets right there tween the eyes So it would seem that the retaliation would come in the form of replies Don’t put too much in these phrases I’m writing for I am just bored half to death Wondering if I would post something stupid now pausing to inhale a breath Would some of you come just to see what I’m thinking or figure my thoughts matter not I had an ending to this when I started but somehow it seems I forgot

Guess many of us feel this way at times Chris...Don't we ?:).I hope I read your every word as it should feel today...Trying to make up for the time I stay away...Many a time is for the same reason you'd written about..Should I take that pen out of the leather case and write,would it make a difference.Your words definitely do Chris..so keep on writing.

We sure do and some days it just gets to me a little more than others. I am happy you could relate to this though not happy that you won't take that pen out of its leather case and write some more on here. Thank you my friend for everything

this poem feels like you've read my mind... "Can you explain in a poetic sentence why words can’t be read like they feel".. i wish i knew the answer to that.. no one can tell what crosses the mind in the deepest moment... you don't need and ending!! you can go on and on

Thanks my friend. They just seemed fitting since it was the end and all. :)

To encapsulate emotions is a difficult tasks, as the senses lack the definitions available, when your hand asks, for to feel, has an indescribable quality that is for touch alone and no words are yet made for the poets written tone.

Then maybe we should make some, come up with our own poetic dictionary? I like encapsulate, that's a good one to start with. :) Thanks LT for reading and commenting.

You could've continued this one long into the night and not bored me. So what if it's just idle thoughts. Sometimes those have more of a deep-seated meaning than something given more serious contemplation. Keep writing, Chris. I and many others are reading.

Boredom led to an expressive creation here :)
