Thoughts In My Abscence

Although I don’t write much, still I think Not gaining really in this mindless quest Too much thinking pushes me to the brink No longer able to swim I’ve begun to sink Each new day offering the same old test Although I don’t write much, still I think Brief moments of hope, that last a blink Just bring a short smile at the very best Too much thinking pushes me to the brink When times like this came I used to drink In that state, even I myself, I did detest Although I don’t write much still I think Day by day my hope increasingly shrinks The very soul I doubt, cries for some rest Too much thinking pushes me to the brink My life is like a chain, missing one link Too be dragging through, I feel as a pest Although I don’t write much, still I think Too much thinking pushes me to the brink

A very good poem and I'm glad that you can still think. I too was not writing much, I'm just recovering from a major surgery. I started writing again. Thanks for sharing this and keep on writing....Lucilla

Ah the old thinking too much trick. I suffer from the same disease. In fact I believe that many poets write because their minds have temporarily gone to other places.

Thinking is good. Wayland, i like the way you can rhyme with a word, and keep stick with the same flow..I tried to do a poem like that once..LOL. All I got was 6 lines. Anyways, i like the way you compare yourself to a chain... haha. I got plenty of extra links in my jelwery box. Would that help... OOO, I'm kidding with you. I know how you feel. My mind is like a puzzle. always missing a piece or two. Enjoyed~ Linda
