Then and Now

Really struggling lately to write. So I am going to put on this blog some of my old and new writing, a kinda comparison. Then and Now. Gives me a break while I try to figure out what the hell is going on. Edited to add that first subject is poetry.

I sit trying to marry words
in order for them to rhyme
or reflect the best
in each other.

Sometimes the vowel infusion
with the complementary consonants
juxtapose each other so perfectly ,
yet lack the magic that’s

Beyond all poets
(and lovers) effort.
So we pick up our pens
and thoughts, figuring the problem
must be within us.

We force and mould
Something which was
Never there.

There are times we need to let
images speak for themselves,
and let hearts do their
own talking

Onward March
They align themselves
Row by row
Of black then white
Silent salient soldiers
Carrying doves or
Dated daggers
Speak without breath
Thoughts that should be left unsaid
