At A Loss

Sir Crow I feel you I delete all the time sometimes the words just evade us..

you captured this feeling so brilliantly here..

I often feel out of my league here..

though you hold your own here masterfully..

with love Crim :)

 I'm trying to just relax about it.  Comparing ourselves to others all the time just doesn't cut it.  Trying to force it doesn't work either.  Thank you for your kindness and understanding, Crim.  I've sure been enjoying the hell out of your work!  Love you too fine lady.

Understood Mon Capitaine! Having hard time myself lately..you're right not to worry or think too much on it. It's summer after all ;) loves

Good point, Lookie.  Summertime and the living is sleazy so, yeah, I'm going to lighten the hell up.  Or try to.

"She seems mercurial"...This speaks hard volumes darlins Crow..;( [for good or bad I'd guess, based on inclinations of a stubborn muse] *muse just my take here. masterfully I see the pop-in lover of past [possibility] here also..that wows me, sir!

"The souvenir of a superior talent"  ..classy You.. to put it this way & rightly a fav line.
I feels it heavily in my brain funk today. lots of ways.

Your words *have arrived sweetie.. *here.
Always a fan of your pen! hughug

Very insightful comment Darksighs.  Muses can be slippery, but that might be part of their charm.  Just so long as they don't fucking nag.

wicked rofl's.. easy solve.. just *don't marry em ;)

Crow, I doubt my abilities all of the time. You write very well and in a unique style...refreshing actually. I just come here to pour my heart on the page when the urge is too strong to ignore. I revel in the thoughts of others...I learn so much about real life. I'll repeat an Oscar Wilde quote I recently used as my theme "Be yourself because everyone else is taken."

That's a great Wilde quote.  My favorite is still "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."  Just wish I could keep my eye on them.  Thanks for the fine comment Gahdess!

You write of writer's block or maybe just frustration at feeling inadequacy Orr your rec rent works but then throw something like:

"Leaving a memory and slight scar 
The souvenir of a superior talent"

At us.  That is just a fantastic line.  All in all a beautiful piece...regardless the inspiration.  Relate to it well.

Michael

Thanks Michael.  It's more the sense of inadequacy I'm dealing with here.  I have had writer's block, so I'm glad I can get a few items without too much remorse, at least once in a while.  A full-blown block is nightmarish.  

Ever the elusive minx...the teasing little muse! Seems as though she's more in favor of selfishly taunting you with inspirations....with words that remain poised, and precariously balanced on the edges of oblivion....

But not to worry,Crowfly, for this piece  uniquely, and perfectly presents that dilemma that all writers invariably  encounter !  ( i seem to be directly in the midst of my own episode of PPS--P.ersonal P. erfectionist  S.yndrome--at the moment, so i can truly empathize ....

I admire, and respect your outstanding talent as poet!
Pen Salute, Mo Chara! xoxo

I like that PPS diagnosis, although I hate to see you suffer.  It at least sounds like you're writing by your own standards.  You certainly have your own style, which is amazing.  Thanks for the comment Enchantress!

Sweet Crow......this made me feel so sad......I deleted my soul from here once.....sigh....words will return when you stop looking for them to come.....sharing a tear with you.....sending you luv and hugs....xo :)

I agree with you.  You can't force anything decent.  It's best to let things surface, in a way.  I get a lot of ideas when I'm half asleep.  Go figure....  Thank you!  

hit & run dame, she always leaves a story. you just want to keep them to yourself...

Trouble is she won't let me.  She insists on being shared when she's in the mood.  Thanks John!

Sir Crow. . .you are a brilliant, talented man. . .you shouldn't be "at a loss". . .it doesn't suit you;). . .so cheer the fuck up!. . .(beautiful poem, btw). . .xoxo, Devlin;)

Thanks for the words of encouragement Devlin.  I'm already cheered, baby!

Dear Crow
The things that u delete r better than what most of us do at our best
I love ur style n so envy ur skill

Thank you Belle.  You're one lady here who has a consistent and truly beautiful style, so your praise is an honor!

Everyone have pretty much shared what was in my mind, so all I can say ...its a good read, and relatable.:) Crowfly.

Sometimes to create we need to put ourselves in a pressure cooker. Uncooked flesh makes us mundane. But these words have the sweat. Nice Crow.

All of those words that gets trapped within
bodies to course thru the streaming blood,
only to linger as a peculiar taste upon our
tongues, almost as if someone placed them
there on tiny sheets of bitter paper .. .
artisan-like  .. if only we could hold open our
mouths & one may see what is being held

"A series of rapid fire deletions
Then a quick hot shower
Just waiting to find the words"

I love this my crowfly, am there with mon cher
am there with..

You'll find the words, and the words that are yours are the most worth it to be patient for. Like this write. I hate the feeling of the loss of a friend, somebody who grows distant and slips away. Such a loss.
