How can I tell
you what to do
when I am more
messed up x 2
How could I tell
you how to be
when I am more
unsure x 3
How can I hope
you love me more
when I am so
alone x 4
How can I live
this lonely life
when I am with
my grief x 5

Absolutely fantastic! Love it, very clever…just..fabulous!!!!! :-))))
Aw thank you – one of those half asleep poems that got me out of bed to jot it down – your appreciation makes the sleep deprivation worth it!! 🙂
do you have a notepad at the side of your bed? I do ever since starting this blogging! 🙂 is like… nightfall and the writing pixies come out to play! 😀
Yes sort of – its on the floor next to my bed – usually the pen scuttles under the bed and I have to do extreme yoga to locate it! I have a little reading light but it is so bright I tend to just write in the dark – makes for interesting reading in the morning! 😀
Ha ha! yes..or sometimes I use draft text message on phone if have left it downstairs and then hope don’t send to someone by mistake! 😉
Haha yes that would make for some interesting texts! I use draft text when I am out, but not at night – too bright… I’m such a wuss 🙂
I love this and I can completely relate to it, beautiful.
Thank you so much Chris 😀
You’re very welcome.
😀
Clever!
Thank you 😀
So excellent Alex!! ~ hits home for me 🙂
Thank you –
🙂
Loving this very clever mix
Loving it – so good x6!
Lol brilliant – this could turn out to be a very looong poem! 🙂
You Go girl!!! Really love this. Your talent just oozed off the keyboard and into my lap! Fantastic.
Thank you! Sorry for oozing – hehe 🙂
I have hot water. 🙂

Very cleverly written, Alex.
This play of algebra in poetry moves me much!
Your lovely poem reminds me of my days in engineering school
when I have to temper mathematics with romance. Hmmm.
I worked for many years as an interpreter within the school of engineering, they were much easier to work with than the school of arts!
Tempering maths and romance – now there’s another good poem for the telling! It’s not a pairing that would instantly spring to mind! Lol!!
🙂
I would love to read your poem on math x romance…. Take the cue from there, my dear friend in poetry. Anything is possible with inspiration.
😉
Oh – I set myself up there!! Haha – I will leave it pondering in my poetic consciousness and see what happens!
😉
