my thoughts are dark because of you
you promise much but nothings true
words fall from your lips like drops of rain
have you no heart? have you no shame?
my thoughts are light because of you
you say foolish things, tho’ none are true
words said for effect, with laughter to gain
you have so much heart, I feel such shame.
both are one person, both descriptions apply
both effect me this way, only one makes me cry
My mood sets the answer, the reason I now see
that I am the problem, the answer lies within me…

Pen Pusher, I just write when the mood takes me, and wherever my imagination wants to go I try to follow.... 
● Poems 'n Stuff ● 
Nicely put Pen! 🙂
My poetry is a tad dark – based on my experiences growing up – but seems to be the only thing that makes me wax poetic.
Maybe when I find true love again?
Huge hugs always!!!

The second verse I saw myself…intriquing how an Author’s words can take you on a journey into oneself. A gift of thoughtfulness…words are often like a mirror. Lovely!
BTW: You may find it interesting that that tune I am listening to as I write is “Just like a Woman” by Bob Dylan.

Beautiful writing my friend , I think there are two sides to everyone , one we want others to see and one we keep to our hearts , makes me wonder now with my love and romance space and my Aussie Emu space , both separate and both different but both the same person .
Keep smiling girl , I love your writing
