A Collection...

[Cryptic]

I tend to write a lot of Free-Form poetry and abstracts. I've gotten praise from teachers, but those are teachers and that was years ago. I would like to post some things here so that my peers may critique them.

Some of the things posted will be meant to create a certain mood. Others to demonstrate a scene and some are just pure emotion on page. Feel free to Critique as they are posted, for I will reply with a new piece every few days. Feel free to post the image they put in your mind, what you see and if you like it, or don't understand it. I may post commentary to the previous piece at the beginning of a new piece.

So... here we go.

Night Noise

Another night alone as eyes drift shut
A night draws to a close
It’s much too late to be night
Must be morning by now
Waiting for someone and no one at all
Blinking away sleep for another moment
Wish someone were here to talk to
No one in particular
Just someone
Another funny mood
Wanting to be held
Loneliness in the silence of the room
Dazzling white screen and black letters fall forth
Dribbled virtual ink on virtual bleached paper
Hum of the thinking box is the night noise
Brushing a soft strand away
Hair parting around fingertips
Looking around the empty
Quiet room
Wait for something to do
Wait for someone to talk to
Still can’t seem to find sleep tonight
