Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

if only he could see behind
the wall was built long ago he sat in front of it tried to look sad he missed sounds, shadows his muted form saw it slipping through fingers- willed it to stop

I love this poem. I feel as if it speaks so much to my own experience. As direct as a straight line to the heart. Thank you.
A true poet seeks, asks questions and is inspired to find answers contained deep in each soul through their creations...you touch so many with your talent and I am grateful to be able to ponder each creation !

Cuts to the chase.
Nice job.

Ghostly and mysterious, the top of an iceberg story peeking through. The italics in the last line give that wish so much strength, I like the effect.
Thanks for this haunting poem - sad and hopeful and yet resigned.
Namaste..........cj

Very powerful. Wow.
'his muted form'could convey the whole of it.
An expression put in words so well.
