the deeper you go
fewer will follow

the deeper you go
words are profound

the deeper you go
the truth is closer

the deeper you go
the soul is found
POEMSPLAIN: i've noticed when i write a "hallmark card" 1 or 2 line poem it gets a lot of views, but when i write longer, more profound poems, they get few reads or comments

Okay!
I agree
the earth is in
dire need
scared and blemishes
from sea to sea
a major facelift
would set the earth free
from the likes
of you and me!
Save the whales
save the trees
bring back paradise
bring back the bees
okay
I agree!

The silence he left behind mirrored his character....

Endured quite a while.

Today, just today
It feels blazing
More dazzling
Clouds so crystal
And yellow in colour

Waves so still
Streams evaporating
Just flows of recollections,
beautiful reminiscences
Of forever and a lifetime

I don't pretend
To be anything
That I'm not

Except for
Sober

I've pretended to
Be sober
A few times

With what we say
Creates the art

she hugged herself tight
she told herself ''it's alright''
cause the world couldn't

Even apart,
I have not felt disconnected from you

leave the most  important for later
let them think you forgot
sometimes the sun rises late
let them blame the clouds

I wish to weave a story
Tell it so beautifully through
It takes all its listeners
And makes them characters too

I will take them on a journey
An adventure of genres in a mall
They'd buy into all the feelings
And stop at the same stall

I want to write a story
Where we meet on the same page
Speak the same drawl
And let love take centre stage
Next page
