An attempt

I’ve been writing (or trying to) for ages… less than a handful of people have read one thing or another that I’ve written… anyway, I was looking over some of that stuff recently and realized that a lot of it was lame, or actually, well, beyond crap…

Anyway, some stuff, I still though was good. Now I’m going out on a limb here. I just thought I’d post this and see what my readers (all 6 of them) think… so here goes, the first publicly released Tempestian poem… I bring you… “Soliloquy”:

Gazing through a window
at stars so far away

wondering at what lies beyond
lost in eternal fear of decay

life has much to offer
none for a soul and body poles away

none for a soul ready to blame
anything, anyone, lost in disarray

none for a soul gazing in silence
wondering eternal, but can not pray

none for a soul, lost in time
potential youth, but can not play

none for a soul that dreams
of fantasies that never see the day

feeling trapped in a cage of flesh
ever planning, no reward comes its way

the soul of a pitiful existence
withering…gone astray
