In all the halls
and through the walls
my harried thoughts are singing.
I hear them there
and over there
like finches they are winging.
I think of you,
and you and you,
and, oh, the anguish stinging.
For every time
you seem sublime
I only end up wringing.
And so it is,
I’m only his,
the one who me is flinging.
And so I’ll go
where no one knows
and meet you there in clinging.

Wonderful! a wonderful flow…
Thank you so much! The first part came to me last night, and I couldn’t quit it until I’d written it all down… Your thoughts mean the world.
You are so sweet Ms. Jessica. Now if my thoughts could just make me some money.. ;p
Lol. Mine, too! If I could ever be paid to write my blog…and still keep it focused on what I want to write about…that would be heaven. :D
Same here. I guess I will just have to be happy that a few people care to read it. Maybe some day someone will notice all this undiscovered talent!
I hope so — for both of our sakes! :D Have a great day!
Very Christopher Marlowe…:o)
I just looked up some of his stuff. I can see why you’d say that, though the language he used was way cooler than mine! :D Thanks, Vance, for reading.
This is one of my favorite poems:

The comparison was a compliment, by the way, in case that wasn’t clear.
What a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing. I don’t think I’d ever read that one before… And yes, I knew it was a compliment, Vance. Thank you! I’m sorry I didn’t make it clear that I understood. :P
you are so wonderfully gifted…now where is that field?
it’s there… and i’m glad you like this. i knew you would. ;)
actually, i think it might be in montana.
There’s always something in your words to touch my heart….!!! Sometime sweet~ sometime sad~sometime deep~sometime loving~ sometime something beyond words…
Love this sweet poem Jess…!!
I’m so glad, Kazi. ;) jess
Love the flow, and the rhyming scheme :) <3
Thanks, Subh! And I must say: It’s wonderful to see you again! :)
Thanks a lot :)
Of course! You were my first real blogger friend. You are special to me! :)
This poem was written in one night? Well done. Love the flow. I don’t know if it’s meant to be sad (seemed like it) but I am rapping :D
You’re so funny, Sam! I’m glad you are rapping. It *is* a sad poem, but it’s more than that, too… It’s… pensive. Pondering the place beyond the walls.
Thanks for commenting! Sorry it took me longer than usual to respond. :(
Have a great weekend Jessica! Don’t ponder too much over past events. Keep the lovely memories and move on. Life is made of time so make good use of it. :D
You’re such a sweetie, Sam! Don’t worry, I’m not fretting too much about the past. For the first time in a while, actually, I’m getting very excited about the future. There is much to look forward to… And who knows? Maybe someday I’ll go to Singapore and get to meet you! :D
I’m getting excited just hearing you are getting very excited. Pray tell in good time ;-) It would be such a pleasure to meet up if you’re here! :D
I will tell in due time! Still trying to sort things out. :) And I definitely hope to make it to Singapore at some time in the next few years. We’ll see!
Hope your weekend is going well! :)
Needs to be choreographed & spoken…tonite’s project. Thank u.
Tonight’s project? How do you mean? I’m glad you liked it… I was happy with the way the flow turned out. :)
Thanks so much for reading and commenting! Sorry for my late reply. :D
Not to worry. I’m a dancer (ballet) & sometimes choreograph voice instead of music.
Oooh, that’s wonderful. I would really love to learn to dance… It would help me in so many ways. Grace has never been my forte!
Thanks again. And if you ever do choreograph this, I hope you’ll share! :) Jessica
Voice as lovely as the meter.
Thank you so much, Diana. Any compliment from you means a lot. :) jess
Beautiful Jessica! :)
Thank you. I think this is one of my favorites. :)
Lovely poem. Love the rhyming ends, it’s so like my writing. :)
Thanks so much. And now I will definitely have to check out your stuff!
