Array ( [sid] => 134300 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => So I Wait [time] => 2007-05-12 05:59:23 [hometext] => To all members of YPDC, I have missed you..... The Phantom [bodytext] => Has my day come and gone, has The Phantom been gone far too long,
Have the words faded, can I be recreated,
Shall I start again, or am I spiting into the wind,
What is left of this dying heart, my poetry is slowly falling apart,

A man filled with pain, an existence forgotten amidst the falling rain,
I walk alone, the path I chose is that of the unknown,
Darkness sets, I’m over taken by regret,
Thoughts of yesteryear, my soft brown eyes fill with tears,

Memories haunt this soul of mine, scars of the past weight on my mind,
Eight-teen years I’ve poured out my heart, what I’ve done some would call art,
I would love to go main stream, but I look at my body of work, and I’m hit with reality,
My poem aren’t great they still need work, and sometimes critics can be jerks,

So what does that leave, a world of poetry still unseen?
The Phantom of YPDC is a shadow of himself, cold and alone, can you help,
I call to the poetic Gods, give me back my pen and allow my soul to filter in,
As I stand before the poetic gates, I realize I’m not good enough and so I wait.



Forever Faithful
The Phantom

Hello Phantom,

I have no idea who you are, but waiting....this is for the birds. Do not allow critics and mainstream ideas to in any way keep you from writing. Sometimes you have to work out of writer's block (or whatever is going on with you). But waiting for a pen, a masterpiece, well poet no offense this is also selling out. Critics can't write poetry. It's as simple as that. That's why they are critics. Those on this site as well who like to criticize work rather than find a genius within are just as well unemotional properly formatted writers. Basically, robot poets. Which is to say they are unrealistic, completely cliche and I couldn't feel them if they were a lighter burning my underside.

While this was a fantastic write and shows a very promising poetic heart and ability it is sad because I tell you poet, do not wait.....for tomorrow we die!

BRAVO!

- SCM

I agree! The only thing worth waiting for in life is death - and you will. Life's too short to be contradicted by benevolent fools and immaturity, live life to the fullest, day by day!
