I lay in bed
In the twilight
Before one is fully awake
That is when
I seem to remember my dreams
I told you some things
Some things
About numbers
And you seemed to take me seriously
But I haven’t heard from you since
And you had nothing more to say
Your smile was pretty
And made me awake
And forget the rest

Your poetry always makes me think.

Let me tell you, ironically I listened to this at 4:30am this morning…3 times, and then another and once more. It is clear to me now that you have been drinking. Soooo good. If my words gave you even an ounce of thought toward that poem…I am beyond humbled.
I would never kill you, I don’t know where you live…anyway…I’m so glad you shared the piece. Maybe, just maybe, one day I’ll write something so poignant (does that word even do it justice?!).
You are the best, thank you ❤️

One day you’ll write the poem that I’ll link to for someone else. Philip Larkin has always been one of my favorites… but never so enjoyable as when he reads his own material…

One day…thank you for believing ❤️
Yes! I was just talking to somebody the other day (or maybe I was in my own head…lol) about how people reading poetry out loud now-a-days seems so different (okay maybe not everybody). Then I thought…am I being sexist/generationist?! Whoa. Sometimes I find it hard to listen past the sound they are making with their voice…it’s like barking…but maybe I’m being too harsh. It just seems so preachy instead of thought provoking, journeying, observing…
Thank you so much for sharing the link with me…it has definitely jump started my senses!
And by the way…you’ve been awfully hard on poets lately 🤨😉

Doree, these verses take my thoughts to the gray area between our conscious and subconscious places in our minds.
