  • its hot and
    these windows of my mind
    melting, they are

    afraid to move
    i might miss something
    or not

    drink something
    cool soda, a draft upon
    the feet

    my toe rings
    glistening in candlelight
    i write by

    something lets
    go from deep within me
    soul release

    writing some more
    hear cascading rain, brutal
    then soft

    back of my brain
    holds softly strumming guitar
    now piano

    yet the music
    of the rain is the most beautiful
    of all

    droplets splashing
    entwining and fusing together
    like a band

    hearing a bird
    chirping, yet it is blackest night
    impossible

    wondering
    is my mind gone or going
    and i ponder

    where to?
    i am so lost far beneath the surface
    of myself

    its a damn
    good thing im a poetess
    alone in the dark.

    In the darkness or in the light , you remain a poetess supreme. I have missed your words my dear longtime friend. This has a feeling of deepest honesty ....a looking far beneath the surface of oneself.

    Very well done
    Roses at your feet Larry

    I honestly have to say this was simply breath taking. Gleaming with such warm and heart touching emotions. I merely personafied you as this lady artist pondering by the sea. Simply put i'm awe struck and quite inspired. oh btw, I love rain. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful Nessa.

    I like this a lot. It hints at the awesome power of nature (i.e. 'yet the music of the rain is the most beautiful of all') which really hit home to me during my recent travels in Africa.
    Hugs to you too!

    Truly enjoyed this poem. I love poems
    where the poet takes you right into there
    world. No longer a spectator but one who
    has now participated in this moment in
    your life. Awesome. Great work.
    Truly , Doug

    Alone with your thoughts? You lucky gal ;) It sounds like the perfect environment for a poetic storm...such as this.



    Wonderful.
