Sorry 1am feeling done.
Afrodite Stathi once said,
Giving is the meaning of poetry.
I really don't know if I can anymore.



Reflection of yesterday

People surround me,
Yet I feel very alone.
What's going on inside,
No one can conceive.

For everyone else including,
My beloved poetry.
I would give and give,
Or should I say bleed and bleed.

Opening up my sudoku book,
At least once a week.
I would go through it today,
In bewilderment I sat there and looked.

Another part of myself Had drifted away,
Trying to to understand what's on the page.
If only that I could for at least a half an hour,
Looking at it decided to try again another day.

Or maybe today's the day,
For me to finish with it all.
My world around me is getting very small,
I don't feel I'm at the precipice to give up
on it all.

I know this feelings wrong,
But what happens.
When the poetry within,
Has not just left but gone.

When word's I can no longer see,
With a mind that no longer reads.
What then will become off me,
As I myself slowly drifts away.
