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
