Voices

you talk to me.
and i try to hear.
your words would know me
if my mind did not resist.
what do you expect?
that we should conflict?
that we should connect?
or merely titillate?

except we are from different worlds;
or rather you are from a world
and i am from no world at all
but the interstices of many.
my mind can not organize 
for you to define in your cosmopolitan ways.

so how am i to speak
for you to see me?
or should i ignore you and recluse?
yet i crave you
and the presence of speech other than my own
to drive away the madness.

Hi dearest Linda! Thanks ever so for dropping by with your kind comment. I just checked your page and I see you have posted a new poem! Does this mean your writer's block is gone? I sure hope so. Today is my "writing" day. So tomorrow (my "reading" day) I promise to check it out first thing. BTW, I love your new avatar! I didn't think you would be able to top the old one, but you did! Luv & Hugs;) Ben

Thank you dear Anne-Lise for your lovely comment and for your kindly advice. Yes it is Spring and a lovely day here. Sunny, not to hot, not to cold. It is the kind of day we live for. But I have much writing to do. And many demons to slay. I shall spend a few moments appreciating the beauty of this exceptional day, thanks to your advice. But write, I must. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs;) Sam
