Although people have similarities
We are All  unique...

...Reticent
Requiring solitude
Nothing superficial
Nothing profound
To
Be
On my Own
Not a sound
No music
No guns
N o controversy
Not
A
Sound...
For a while
Let me sit
And stare
And
Not care!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
Concretely, you are gone
I am generations later
Reading Your thoughts, Your works.
I am grateful!
You give me literary sustenance
And pleasure,
Inspiration and insight...
Thank you, writers from the past!

I want to do the same,
Leave something behind...a picture,
A song, or a piece of writing; something
Concrete and tangible for posterity...
And
Will someone like me, who is still
To be born
Look over my works when I too
Are
No longer concrete?

You
Are mine
FOREVER.

Regarding
The past and present
Nothing
Has
Changed.

You
Will always be my lover
And
Most of all
My friend.

Soul mate
I am
Ever so sorry
If I offended you,
This
Is Never
My intention.

If I hurt you
I hurt too.

Please
Forgive me
Like
I
Forgive you.

We
Have lived
A long journey together,
One
Can't
Forget.

Let US continue
OUR journey together
Hold hands, stay friends...
FOREVER!..,.  By Violet.

Green Eyed Blues
I'm a circus on a sinking ship
I asked the clowns to walk to plank
But the jokes won't quit

Yellow balloons
Big noses
Red shoes
And squirting roses

The laughs from ashore
Rival the tides
Coming in waves

Left by my own side

The bow is starting to crack
Under the pressure of the lion
Jumping through its fiery hoop

The shrouds once held tight
Now they are fraying
And starting to droop

An iceberg would be welcomed but we are in hot water

Not even a shark insight
I've been leaking blood

But still not a one to bite

I want
To destroy the destroyer
So
The destroyer
Destroys
No more!

....am
MORE
Than
A
Photograph!
