    Confusion

    I've been thinking lately-
    how many lines were for you?
    How many about you?
    Was I thinking about you
    every time I put pen to paper?-
    Was I writing
    what I fear to feel?

    You spoke of beauty-and longing-
    Love letters unsent-
    and promises.

    Did I take it too seriously-
    you said-I love you.

    But I feel it-
    the pain in my stomach-
    Disappointment
    and sorrow.

    Do I want to be Sappho?
    Do I need to be-
    a Muse to a Druid God?

    Because I'm no longer chasing unicorns.
    No longer playing games with Faeries-
    and afraid-
    so afraid.

    No fear in this write.... Do you know God loves humbled pleads ... I read this one knowing I had not read it before.... I have to be honest... I was hoping it wouldn't be as great as the rest... I'm trying to find one I don't see and feel.... Redbloodink

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
