tim's Bits and Pieces - 37. Circling The Drain

1.

Each night I watch the stars; looking for you

I wait for your touch, a word; even a whisper

And just when I fear you are lost from me

You feel it too and remind me I am loved

 

2.

In crowds I am apart

Alone among my fellow man

The world sings in all colours

I listen with my heart

And write with my soul

 

3.

Lately words have been evasive

They hide in shadows

as if

Allergic to the light; to my pen

They do not come when I beg

Nor when I plead with them to

Be merciful

They stare and are silent and stoic

I rage at them for their stubbornness

But I know all this is lies

Lies I tell myself as I watch

any modicum of talent

circle the drain
