Hello Freckle did you get any sleep last night !!. It can't be more than a few hours since you last posted. Good morning to all.
Long time since I had Syd Barrett in my head. But this morning he's stuck there.
Late Night
When I woke up today
And you weren't there to play
Then I wanted to be with you
When you showed me your eyes
Whispered love at the skies
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...
When I lay still at night seeing
Stars high and light
Then I wanted to be with you
When the rooftops shone dark
All alone (I) saw a spark
Spark of love just to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...
If I mention your name
Turn around on a chain
Then the sky opens for you
When we grew very tall
When I saw you so small
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...
The Fetid Night.
I run wind racing past my face,
Faster, faster i know i am found,
I really must escape this place,
Before i find that i am bound.
Too late i falter and i am caught,
The black night will have it's way,
My struggle had been all for naught,
It night be that i die today.
I start to struggle, twist and turn,
You fetid darkness i will stop your fun,
My fight for life; A fire starts to burn,
I reach out through the night i think i have won.
Once again i am tired the fight too much,
To defeat the night there is a price to pay,
I must wary not to lose my touch,
As i must fight this fight everyday.

Thank you for your kind words. I know it is a bit sub Sylvia Plath and i know i seem to bang on about nothing other than my Bipolar but although it doesn't completely overtake my life it colours my experience of life considerably. I do not wish to bore people stiff but i can only write about me and how the world and i interface. So my apologies to anyone who thinks here he goes again but i hope this post explains it somewhat. I simply cannot write another way as it would be disingenuous. I love this thread and thank you all for your poetry it is great to read. As anyone come up with publishing a book of poem originals from the fellrunning forum ?. The monies could go to F.R.A. for development or to help have more in kitty for 40th anniversary. I am told that it is easily done on computers these days although i know nothing about this.
Have i got the right end of the stick? is this your own work? if so i am very impressed if not then it is good to see anyway!!!!!...no need to apologise about the source of your material! I certainly do not think that you bang on about your difficulties, rather I think that you raise some interestng and thought provoking questions...as far as the publishing thing goes there may be a chance that some of the poems will be getting published in the fell runner magaizine but a book would be really fab and we are certainly gathering enough good pieces on here i think, although i too don't know a jot about the world of publishing!....keep up the inspired and heartfelt work tri mind we all benefit !:)
Yes Freckle, It is my own work using my real name. I once again thank you for kind words as i wasn't sure how my perspective on life would be received. That would be great to have poems in the Fellrunner Magazine. I look forward to this evening when i visit the forum again to see some more wonderful poems.
