The Pain Of Not Being You Poem by Michael Shepherd
The Pain Of Not Being You
How can you say,
I never felt in possession of my life
until this moment, to
someone who has not felt
the each, the both?
or, I shall remember this moment
for the rest of my life
not for what it is but
for what it may yet mean?
a lifetime with a pen
may alleviate this pain
somewhat
while I write
Dear Michael, there is such melancholy in your words, and a little anger perhaps too. It makes me sad...
Aw, Michael, you shouldn't have...but perhaps someday, if you focus in on th' Sestina's, you just might snare the edge o'er me....biiig lol! (I HOPE YOU KNOW) A fine write, Mr. Shepherd...and yes, writing can & has quelled the burns from time to time...love can come & go, byt our written words are a forever relationship... Frank

It came out of trying to imagine the feelings of a 'lifetime career poet' always trying to stretch the boundaries of what may be said... not me!
