Just some poetic conscious streaming.

like they say

in some strange way

its not like you went away

its more like you never existed

like the crooked talk

you would speak to me

wasnt truly twisted

as if the arrow that pierced my heart

had in reality narrowly missed it


like the heat of a 1000 fires

had never burned

as if the laws of love and of life

I had never knowingly learned

its like some strange game

that although lame I still voluntarily played

I rolled the dice

I played really really nice

I gambled and I lost

and now its your turn

    I always laugh when someone calls a poem I write “interesting” such a polite way of saying “i dont like it”!

    ‘I gambled and I lost/and now it’s your turn’ – I love that, it says so much in so few words.

    “like the heat of a 1000 fires” & “the laws of love and life” … I like these phrases in your poem.
