"poemless" poems
As pained as we may be physically there is no greater hurt than a poet living in a poemless age

last night i was filled with poetry -
filled to the brim, and now i'm not.
last night i was filled with pain and life
and with the joy of knowing things,
and now i am ordinary.
last night i wrote,
"he taught me how to bruise
before i bleed,"
on a slip of paper.
i knew what to do with the words then but
now i don't.
i have no poem to slip them into and
no storyline to follow them and
i can't even turn them into a painting.
they sit and they stay
and they stare at me and remind me
that i am not a writer, because i don't write when i most need to.

I use to write poetry
and trying to imagine love.
Untill I found you
and I didn't have to imagine.
Then I lost you
and now I have no words.

I do not need to hide anything here,
He will never read
Anything by this haunted harlot.
Poetry escapes him
And eludes him.
Even the most obvious
of scribblings
Furrows his brow
And makes
His head ache.
And yet, he knows the facts
He knows the truth,
And must know that this is where I come,
To purge and re-emerge?
How can he not want to read,
To see,
To understand?
We will never fully know each other -
Perhaps, as he suggests,
This is for the best.

What is a poem? A poem is someones feelings,opinions, and thoughts.
What is a poem? A poem
Is something no one can understand.
We speak from the heart and know no boundaries. A poem is something no one can take away..it's our voice in this poemless world.

The well of poetry is dry
And the oasis
Who was once blooming around
Dead
Where is the rain?
At least the soft wind
The brings hopes of verses
Where is the night
That at least
Cools the burning sands
Of thoughts
Lost in the desert...
Of poemless dreams
