I Too by pete marshall

I Too

by pete marshall

I too, like you

have sat alone

with flickered thoughts

caressed by screens

that weave, entice and play my mind

with words you spun from make believe

I too, like you

have once embraced

the words that flowed 

upon my page

that weave, entice and play my mind

then left me spent and wrought with rage

I too, like you

have once felt peace

escaping from

my troubled times

that weave, entice and play my mind

blurring life from words unkind

I too, like you

now sit alone

my words are spoke

for none to know

that weave, entice and play my mind

for words are spurned, now cease to flow

I too, like you

thought once a friend

who hung onto 

my every breath

that weave, entice and play my mind

who yearn their loss upon ones death

My friend Gay recently emailed me to catch up on a few things, in my reply I summed up how life was presently for me, explaining that I also had lost my love for writing and blogging. For the past three years I have struggled financially, that is no secret, but life now has gone beyond a joke. Too many things have happened in the last few months that have knocked the stuffing out of me & most of them non-financial. I don't want sympathy, I just want a break. I used to hide from the problems life threw at me by throwing myself into blogging but with the demise of One Stop I had no reason to continue. 


With regard to One Stop I have tried to maintain the site, having also re-purchased the domain name to keep it going, and although two people have been generous in donating, I can no longer raise the money to keep the site open. To you it might not be much but to me its a fortune.


 Today I am blue.........and that my friends is that!!!!!
