SMALL TALK

These are the days of the absence of pain.
And I get up and walk away distracted
And is there anything to say to this
That I am the one that can't be touched
And doubted, wonder at the frantic pace.

Saw it all, where it was going
Didn't want to take that track,
And so I killed the conversation
Trying to explain
And being clear
Drew lines across
The lines that crossed my face.

And wandered out to find
A trace of something left
From when I felt the trace
Of fingers down my spine.

I found my heart exposed
And lying on the street
I pulled it open to examine
Found I'd lost the heart of me.

Often when I read eris's poetry, I read it aloud to myself, and it makes more sense, plus a very definite rhythm becomes apparent, enhansing the whole thing.

Thank you both. My stuff is definately better when read out loud.... That's part of how I compose, and decide what to keep and what to lose....

[AsIs]

I like it Eris! Read it thru a few times.

Nice one. Not too long.

that is really good eris. I like the shift in the voice and everything about it. To reiterate dano, it does have a good rythm to it. I like it. Keep up the good work.
