Used Words fade into Memory
.
Wandering vaguely through the corridors
stray thoughts dance momentarily
only to disappear without fanfare
.
Cold formation of intent
shrouded trappings of desire
needs to be considered
.
Words fall conveying reality
mocking false coherence
poetic symmetry fills the void
.
Describing this very wonderful day
I have but only a few words to say
about the passion displayed that way
how it left me blank and holding the tray
.
I’m not complaining
don’t get me wrong
but no one’s invited
to sing my song
.
Of this I’m sure
without a doubt
I’m simply poor
with little clout
.
Words won’t fail
the sky won’t fall
I’ll muddle through
holding on to the wall
.
So don’t be sad
when time is near
just sit right down
and have a beer
.
After a long and laborious pause
thoughts once trusted become ghost
fleeting moments of sanity describe contempt
now fallen by the wayside a poem dies
.

About Sailor
Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course).
Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................
This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525
Please read: "Proprietary Rights". .............................................................................................................
Now, to continue with "About Me".
I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. ..............................................................................................................
I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
