Neurosis, My Finest Hour

Will they recall?
In the end when all is done
Will it be worth it?
A masterpiece some say now
Tomorrow just another bit of scribble
By a mad woman who loved to live
Yet lived in obscurity
Will it melt away like icicle tears
On a Demons face?
Or reside securely in your sensitivities like
Mother’s dulcet lullabies?
Silky satin words
Roll from the pen in the wee hours of life
But in those times of query
A poet is most alone
Fixed inside their own ink
Aimless within their own existence

Ladyblue...

I sure feel ya... love this and where it takes me... wondering... did it ever really matter... I think we all feel that, no matter what our chosen hobby or occupation... Love the title... it is a draw and the poem was great and I'm sure every writer can relate... Richard

Hey Lady, A beautiful write,

Hey Lady, A beautiful write, as always. Will it be worth it? Such a strong question when applied to the context of life's meaning...one could contemplate that all day, as you could the meaning of life itself...tried it. No conclusion. Lol. A beautiful poem anyways, Lady. Peace and Love Katie
