What is true?
Show me by telling.
Tell me by showing.
The truth.
Hints, taunts and noises and news and perspective and prose, and pivots and muse.
See somewhere along the line.
I tripped over a fuse.
Which triggered these subtle idiosyncrasies.
Which quickly became cues.
To start creating.
And I'm not stating that I make it up completely as I go along, alone.
For with writing, in solitude, I have found fortitude.
In these dark deep waters, I am home.
What's so unnatural about that?
Is there something I'm missing?
Something that I am having too much of.
Or is there something I lack?
Never. In fact, I propose this idea. This articulated thought.
Just think of it this way. In this argument, I support.
What's fire without fuel?
What's sight without view?
What's light really like without darkness?
What's Earth really like without you?
It. Is. Nothing.
And nothing was never something.
Nor telling is showing the truth.
Donβt be discreate.

Hi, there, wow, this is the first thing in a long time I absolutely love. You took a leap of faith here and found a door opening. This is a huge step away from repeating yourself - keep it going. I would almost say "Welcome back" but you always were a fellow traveller! Love this tremendouslyΒ

Hi John! How have you been?! It does feel like a while doesn't it? Thank you for your comment and I agree that I've found my footing once again. Strange how writing ebbs and flows. So thank you for my welcome! Again hope you have been well. Exams are coming up shortly so I'll be on and off but I hope to comment more soon!
sincerely, your friend Max
Hi, Max, yeah, it is funny that every time I think "oh, hell, I aint bin writing for far too long, have I lost my touch", the tap starts running again. It is great to find your footing, I know, and I am right glad you found yours again. Hope the exams go well. On this side of the globe it seems the clients breed overnight, we keep getting new ones, but we love being popular and we still manage to get the work done (added new employees to the flock).Β
Life can be such fun. Gotta run now to Eindhoven (my place of birth). Read you!Β

Thanks John! Had my first exam yesterday, which is why I haven't been on much! It's good to see you are doing well. Life wouldn't be worth living if it wasn't fun, and busy! Cheers again mate. Sincerely, your friend Max
Love this Max...this write articulates the reader's own deep thought and fear, love the conversational tone too x
Awww thanks Marion. Weird how my better writes seem to just spill out on the page. I feel as if I think too much sometimes. I should always follow your mantra "just keep writing!" Again I hope you have been well my fellow poet~
Show and tell anyone :) . You never disappoint. I always enjoy your rhyme scheme and the overall message of your poem. Greatly enjoyed.Β
Aw thanks Rob, that means a lot coming from you. Hope you have been well mate, it's always nice hearing from you veteran poets. Cheers mate.
Max, say it how it is and clarion it- loudly!
Nothing goes to plan in life, love and its emotions it is never that fabled land of plenty, that land of milk and honey, sweetness and light.
If every day was Christmas day what would be the point.
Nothing runs smoothly all the time.
We just have to take stock when the positives emerge and like a mirror reflect on us.
If not we become worn out husks, life's pod people just accepting things devoid of any real emotion.
So it's good to read your poem and emotionally charged up...
Finding your spiritual home.
A great write Max and one from the heart, your heart :)
