Nameless.

by Poet on the Piano   Aug 21, 2013


I'm doubtful. I don't know what to write. I don't know how to write. I don't know when to write. I don't know where to write. I don't know why I write.

[What how when where why]

I'm weary of bookmarks, page holders and more metaphors I keep scraping
to stick to my plate but all I have is my fingernails... there are no instruments I can positively use

without regrets.

Blank stare. Screen too bright. Razzleberry tea. Ten forty something. Listening to Birdy and Sia, lullabies, piano chords stirring my thoughts with a tasteless spoon. I don't know flavors, exactly, I can read of course, you can too, yet names become so corporate. They're not personable. Headphones making ears ache. Light or dark? Lightordarklightordarklightordark

I'm not sure.

But I haven't written in moonlight for ages, so maybe I'll step outside in my holey jeans and blue night shirt, barefoot and hoping that my brother doesn't hear the creak and disturb my peace.

Maybe I'll tell someone. Maybe I will stop hiding. Not now, I'm not ready now. But maybe is not an exit or a ditch that will become my burrow. It's a start,

it's somewhere.

    This poem has so many things going for it. Wow! I would say the best poem I have read from you so far. Sometimes we get so frustrated we dont know what to write. I like the blank stares stanza because thats how we feel a lot of the time. It could mean you are daydreaming too though. Headphones can be such a source of inspiration. I love the light or dark because itis a build up for later. The moonlight is such a bbeautiful thing to write about.

    The night time is overall a great thing. It really is quiet and so full of inspiration. The ending is great. I read it as we all want a place to feel safe or a place just to feel inspired and write. Hiding is great at times because wewant to be alone. I love the wording and the message here. Every line connects and the ending is the twist. 5/5
