About the Poem
This poem was written in collaboration. Two close friends attempting poetry after a red wine and a discussion on life.
Distant Heart |
| by Annie Basile and Lloyd Klumpp |
| Flowing spirit takes control Leading me astray. Distorting all my thoughts. Emotions runaway. Why do I perform Upon life's envious stage? Is it all a game? A dance within a cage? Am I full of anger? Torn and insecure Not knowing good from bad Some inborn fatal flaw? Pain from pleasure haunts me. Guilt drives away the glow. The world screams lessons at me And yet I still don’t know. |
