There once was a time

when I used

to spend hours simply

writing me ..

With such subtle strokes

and those

elaborate lines, not to

mention a few

well-placed curves

here and there 

plus the very occasional 

flurry which 

no doubt, made her fall 

so much, if not 

madly in love with me ..

It was though

the dotting of I’s and the

lavish crossing

of so many T’s that finally

broke the poet in me ..

So much so in fact, I now

hardly even recognise myself ..

The written word is a uniquely portable form of magic. I hope this doesn't mean you're turning in your sorcerer's wand to become a mere mortal after all the ink that has been spilled. After all, ee cummings got away without crossing so many t's and dotting so many i's. I enjoyed the read.

The very fact you took the time to visit these words, to consider them & leave a little bit of yourself behind almost guarantees that I will be back at some point in time ... Many thanks Fabian & Seasonal Best Wishes to You & Yours sir ....

You can't take the words out of a poet. Even without their footprint on the page, they will be swirling through the corridors of his mind, waiting for the right moment to land.
