For Now

for now
the words
will end

and
the story
will pause

me
the writer
has no friend

I will hide
myself
until

I am ready
to put
pen to paper

So please
only whisper
if you care

to be amongst
the dead
and the silent

Does that mean I should shout

if I want to be amongst the alive and the noisy? Forgive me, couldn't resist that, felt a bit like popping a champagne cork at a funeral though. cheers, Jess

achieves

that decending silence admirably, and I do like the final stanza. The entire poem left me wanting more though. And holy cow! That might be the point, since it looks to be about a mid sentence writer's block.... Lenny! You're a mad f*cking genius! Mark

Thanx, Lenny

As a matter of fact, I myself walk a fine line here between being the kid in the candy store ... and the bull in the china closet. Yours, Chuck
