Carly Larkin Poet Prose Poetry

When In Thought

When in thought I sulk-
Narrowed down to a single fault
Like my heart is a prize, 
and my thoughts are the vault;
just as soon, as I almost spit them out-
I halt.

It's days like these,
I wish only for a calming breeze- 
So that I may breathe;
Properly grieve, 
But really its only a tease-
For open sorrow just isn't me.

Robert Johnson January 18, 2014 at 2:55 PM Misconstruing what we're rueing causes such dismay. It leaves us to just never mind what we really want to say. So when that breeze blows gently by and brings you sweet cool dreams. Remember there's a loving God that makes life all it seems. Peace. :)

Mark Peterson January 8, 2014 at 10:15 AM I enjoyed these poetic thoughts about yourself. Others gazing could scarce evince such about us themselves and perhaps we, in trying to know ourselves, do little better. I hope you have wonderful day and Happy New Year. Carly Larkin January 8, 2014 at 11:57 AM thank you, and very true. Happy New Year to you too
