Friends, I offer you two stanzas out of five of my poem FOR FARAH and ask you kindly
to head over to Masticadores to continue reading and to obtain submission details.
FOR FARAH
Into the nothingness of noise
I strain to voice my cares with you,
into the scornful sea that drowns
my dreams and cares, to you, unknowns.
Yet still, I labor night and morn
to reach the one without a smile.
We’re under the same sky and moon
and for you my arms are open wide.
Last night you popped into ...
...barely a shadow ...
with reference to the “self-consumer of [his]
woes”— from the poem ‘I Am! ‘ by John Clare
Friends, please continue reading the rest of the poem at MASTICADORES USA.
And thank you most sincerely. I BLESS YOU.
