Familiar drops
Drip from my eyes,
And skies are lit
Like lantern lights
Sanity slips
Strange shadows rise.
It's time to quit
Can't keep these ties
Time loses grip,
I grasp my mind.
Though nothings left
Love might survive
Apologies for the duff info in the last comment: the title of the Browne song is 'The Times You've Come'. Meant to come back before this, but was waiting for something new. I see you're working on Today, through every T. Good work Lin! jim
'But the need for love will still remain' sang Jackson Browne in 'Sing My Songs to Me'. A very fine sentiment to echo. Hard hitting brevity that doesn't squeeze the sadness out. Strong writing again Lin. jim x
An interesting piece about attachment and loss of control - succinct and articulate - Your last line is spot on - believe me! Love, Allie xxxx
...pithy, straight to the point anfd pow! Right in the orchestra pit
Love this poem Lin, the title gives it a sense of drama but you save it by lifting it with message of hope and love, very well written. HG: -) xx
