DAMN! i just lost my comment while looking up humdrum! ! to repeat: i especially liked tears/spheres. this reminds me of the whining my stepdaughter sometimes does over the phone due to having 'lost' her love [they broke up, multiple times], and her lack of 'joy' in life. why can't people be more like me? ? i'm (sort of) content with my humdrum life. oh yeah; people don't want to live a humdrum life like i have. : ( the last two lines puzzle me a bit. the fire? robe and sandals? did you just get out of bed? ? i'm glad you didn't write...with all my Briefs. one must not give up the underwear. this shall be your second poem put in my February A Showcase For PH Poets, on my site. thanks for sharing. i chose it because it is close enough to 12 lines or less [your first poem was longer, and this month i'm being picky and limiting the length of the 2nd poem on display from each participating poet.]. bri :)
A truly wonderfully rhythmic tempo... delightful in its well place lines... the essence of genuine heartfelt longing was an absolute joy to read... touché dear poet... your pen is quite lovely!

Beautiful poetry. Just had to let you know. Enjoy it tremendously and learn a lot.
Feeding the fire with all my belief! Superb! Loved the Poem. Thanks for sharing.

Good poem, though I hope it is not based on personal experience. The last verse is excellent.

been here! i mean at this poem. time to move on! ;) bri
