    unfolding
    lurking in the dark of night
    they tap upon my window,
    demons and ghosts taunting
    my thoughts; grabbing my blade
    i slash mightily at their heads
    watching them tumble across
    the moonlit lawn. do not tangle
    yourself with a warrior, i tell them, you will never win.

    how foolish of them to think they could.

    You do knot lack selfconfidence youngeling. Instead of lamenting you confront your situations. Hold to that strength and keep writing. Papa

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
