When Nightingales Sing
When Nightingales Sing
Tear my heart apart
let my soul languish
in loneliness.
Let my words die
in the making
as they fade into
nothingness,
I am the nightingale
who sings its melancholy
at twilight
unheard, unseen
hidden in the morning mist
mesmerized
by the Beauty of its
Music
deaf to a voice
grown old
grown weak
and dying

Past present words flow yes but they need to be in the same time.

Dear friend,
Dear friend,
of course you are right. NEOPOET may not be the venue for me. You know that I had made a decision not to write, BUT I need to keep my mind sharp I am already showing signs of a dementia due to my disease, and writing is a good mental exercise, Having said that, my poetry doesn't appeal to most and I need to accept that It is always nice to receive validation from fellow poets;. you know that. It is discouraging to be passed over; yet I am fighting other battles which I am losing. So validation of my poetry is last on my list.
Jess and I don't necessarily agree what ''poetry"" should be; but I respect his critiques; I may not always agree with him, but I do see his point of view. I have also learned so much from him as well.
Thank you for reading me. keep well.
joe
P.S. I have unpublished what ""lngers"" too long on the sjte.
