What You Have of Me

the sound of my voice has fled your mind
my picture's faded too
when i'm gone
all you'll have of me are words
staring blankly from this screen
penciled faintly between lines
on the yellowed paper
crumbling in your hands...

Very nice. Very powerful.
Thanks to KL for recommending and for the collab shout out on your profile.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. And you're welcome. The shout out on my profile, that was my favorite part.

[Lyn Anderson]

dark and powerful, this piece. And shame on all those people for looking at this poem and not commenting.

Thanks for stopping by. And yes, it is dark. There are poets long dead and all that is left of them is what they wrote. It will be that way with me, though I am far from a great poet. Still, there are a few people who have my words, and these poems here on the Cafe will remain.
