TITLE (EDIT)
The Power Of The Pen |
DESCRIPTION
No rhyme, no meter. Just random thoughts.
If we're all honest, wouldn't we prefer to deal with confrontations with the pen rather than face to face? I know I would! A matter of personal choice of course, but I hate being "barrelled" by someone and reacting with shifting feet and "um's" and "sorry's". Then thinking about it later and wishing I'd said such-n-such...

The Power Of The Pen
Chris E Ivins
I cannot talk to you now
While you're standing in my hall
My eyes remain downcast
I simply will not look at you
I'm fearful of what you'll see
If I directly meet your gaze
So afraid am I of what you may find
If I allow you to delve too deeply
My expressions are my property
My discomfiture personally owned
My feelings and sensitivities
I protect and nurture privately
Don't ask me to reveal
Those things I hold in secret
Don't dare demand of me a thing
That I am incapable of handing over
I beg you, please. give me a moment
To collect my winsome thoughts
This sudden and unplanned interview
Has shaken me to the core
Can you leave me now in peace
So I can reinvent myself?
Some time to arrange my persona
And render myself acceptable
Ah, here's another thought
I’ll release it to the winds
How would it be if I answered you
In a way I'm familiar with?
Concealed behind
The protective guardianship
Of my parchment
And my pen
