Yesterday
I saw you
Walking
You, beautiful
Handsome, really
Shoulders out
Eyes sparkling
Responding
To God’s green
Everything beautiful
Yet, not me
Your abilities
Creative
Endless
Capturing life’s impossibilities
Proving their existence
A beautiful world
Never faltering
Yet, inside today
You scream
Towards me
Forcing me to believe
Darkness lives
Cruelty
Exsists
Accusing me unworthy
Of your eye’s view
I could have saved you
Yesterday’s Today, denying
We are all made up of contrasts – such is life. The brilliance and blackness of this poem is perfectly redolent of this. Nice work AD

I’m going to continue to reply to you in hopes that you read them. Once again, when I read the words you choose to bestow on me, I hear this amazingly calm voice of yours. I adore getting to hear it. Utterly poetic of me, yet so true. Thank you, Mike.

Audrey, I encourage you to keep expressing yourself. You are holding back much and you could not find a more supportive community than this one. xo

Thank you, Mr. Modigliani. I appreciate you letting me know. I have a lot of poems and you are correct when saying that I hold back. It is very true. Thank you for calling me on it. I need more of that sort of feedback. I have feelings/ expressions that I don’t identify with, yet feel compelled to share. I should post them. I am aware. I feel your support. I began writing as a young girl and even then the maturity level was beyond my years. Following your blog has opened my eyes and made me more aware of my true path. Don’t be a stranger, please. ~ Audrey

I do not intend to be. However, we just met, in a sense, and my intuition needed more time to observe.
