Every poet knows, you're only as good as you last piece & sadly it seems, once it's read, the interest can die off rather quickly.
Unless of course, you develop friendships from other poets who understand what your trying to say & realize the true meaning of what have you written for me lately.
Those are the people who've actually read what you've posted. Perhaps, we are merely ghosts of our past lives, interconnected by the love of word, full of heart, enthusiastic, being nice.
And the "likes" can surely suffice, help to inspire past life regressions into something more readable for the masses...
But I guess, I'm a tad bit crazy, having just another relapse into deeper introspection... a few personal confessions!
O, Does it ever end, this spillage, this spillage of our souls, doe it ever end, dear friends?
