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
