Unrequited

The night you left –
darkness came
prematurely...
I watched the rain
as it fell with monsoon
intensity, deluging
the window –
drowning
my reflection...
Outside in the porch,
a solar lamp flickered –
shone a dim,
indifferent light
on the insipid flutter
of a ghost-moth
kissing an indolent,
bullshit-red,
brick wall.

Hi Tina, three things: 1.
Hi Tina, three things:
1. You're very welcome
2. You certainly won one as far as I'm concerned.
3. If other half was impressed by everything you wrote, you might begin to doubt his sincerity.
4. I know I said 3 things, but what the hey.

Sorry you had bad storm.Yes,you must
have prayed I don't find time to go
now.All went very well! Mine did come
on the train,and stayed through,walked
now and again.It wasn't where I thought.
About 15 Poets that area! read first or
alternate,we had orange cards,never stood up.
I said Abctales and Editor T.Cook Abctales.
And I was honoured to read yes" your "Myth
Of Narcissus" not mine poet of Abctales,
Bit jittery,they all clap each one,liked very
much,I didn't know till after poet!he was journalist
and Editor amongst other things.He read a few.I think
I was allowed to do three or did,"Green Eyes" he could see my copies in my hand,so I read your beautiful "Myth Of Narcissus." honoured to,1st.One
Then said read "Oh! The Wheelie Bin"later he did so did.
But did ask for your namo hope done right! Maybe he saw "Silver-spun-sand" after top of page.I and we introduced to each.Kind of, I mentioned any one can join.Some exchanged name and contact number one elderly she liked "Green Eyes" as daughter had a cat,so gave her a copy.
What shall I do with yours keep it in my file,I hope
I've said everthing right on here! books on table
no not free,fruit juice and water £5 but on way back lunch,I found £5.One read one on a chicken comedy good.One similar to you very good.Mixture.
So back we went,and maybe get an email get poets book.Any questions please ask.I wouldn't be surpised
if he joins Abctales.I got his name when we went back!Lunch shopped and train 6 stations home.Good day.All round.Do please say I did all ok.I sincerely hope.We were going to do comment end,but didn't.It was an hour good,and half hour chat.

Simply beautiful, Tina! I love the structure with the two-stanza split - I can't decided which is my favourite, all the images just flow together so seamlessly! Seriously well done on this one ;)

my comment letter to you.
No I am not,but I know there
is a god who heals 16 yeras pain.
But Jesus said I have forgiven you
so you must forgive others?
Yes,it was brilliant I started
when asked Spring wonderful one
of yours "Myth Of The Narcissus"
he said we could clap to all,yours
was the loudest really.Night-time cafe
set up that counts me out not night-time.
I never got an opology but phones stopped good.
Only call centre say singing cancelled I wrote!
Do you have ballett shoes,and photos.and musical too
your clever and poet.
I have watched Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber choosing "Dorothy" for "The Wizard of oz".
They are just someone singing "Memories". Wish I had done better,but I wrote and email couple photos,wow
better than mine,taken.No! Wheelie Bin was one off thing,causing stir on here!I watched tv programme on
Crocodile so interesting,so tried poem,hit wrong key
went under story,Kheldar's commented as asked all ideas and comments any one can do one.If you get time
I would love your comments and advise cos;added to it.Car pulls up yesterday mine saw I was backroom,
he said two little girl's got out,liftr tin paint,NO!
dropped it and bit went on our little wall re-built,
and he gone out, as fingers wiped on wall,emulsion
and in road.He doen's stand up me in good or bad!so
surprised apparently live up road,he was so nice,came in hose washed it all down and his neighbour helped too.Then it pours hard,washed it off.Most groups let a lone age,will not let you do anything if have set groups,so thrilled thanks.
I picked up what done got off bus.It's come in now
I did say quickly prayer,hope it's come out 3rd time
been on the bus,altering shop around couldn't find
when did I squealed instead picture kind of lady face
can't say brand shop,permission it was amazing.
I got permission,coloured in eye shadows and got pens,bit heavier if you get me?it is great.Not small as said all over I squealed and hugged her.
I love "Say You LOVE me" is it from "phantom Of The Of The Opera" I Love "Madame Butterfly"
Well have a good week-end.Pictures on tv to "Elvis"
look alike singing.and photos of Raphalites,like my book as a background."Wheelie Bin" still missing.
Need all help on "Crocodile Tears".True.
Well I was a crock-crocodile once!in everything.Cold,lifeless.
Sorry long letter.Spelling mistakes.

Gorgeous. I have little
Gorgeous. I have little tolerance for poetry, but this is more than tolerable. I like it because unlike most poetry, it is not flouncy and doesn't beat around the bush. It's understandable yet makes you think. It's not one of the indecipherable pieces of garbage they put in high school text books.
So basically... I like it.
