YOU

your words fall at your feet without
direction of expression disappointed
disjointed by my individual point of view
I know no ointment for your ail.

pale faced as you fail the broken truths
of your tale wail on I can always walk away
embarrassed for you because I was someone
who was always there for you.

we all live give take and die so why! gripe
back with such jealous resentment utter
contempt I briefly dwelt where you
reside felt the hate and then I cried.

took the bait then spat it out have learnt from
it don`t scream and shout pity I can do without
what hacked away at your self belief.

was it loss of love or life and grief listen my
friend time is a thief, hindsight a life long
lesson contentment the goal freedom for the soul.

Well done! It brings many

Well done! It brings many questions to my mind, and also reminds me of difficult frienships that I had. It really sounds as though you're talking to someone straight in the eyes. Antoine

Zigs, don’t you just love

Zigs, don't you just love stream-of-consciousness? Imagination simultaneously at work and at play. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nominate you for your poem, including content, word play, intent and mastery in what ails the human condition.

You

Zigs, another fine poem. I agree with Indi, it reads like a rap, which I am sure wasn't your intention but it does and works a treat. Great subject matter, I like the way you've thrown it straight back into their face. My favourite stanza:(arranged into the rap style) took the bait then spat it out have learnt from it don`t scream and shout pity I can do without what hacked away at your self belief. I can feel your anguish and frustration. A new pic I see, you could have combed your hair!!!!! Enjoyed this one immensely my friend, which is more than I can say for the England game tonight!
