poems



empty chairs

sitting alone at my table I find I am not surrounded by enough empty chairs, not as many empty chairs as I would like, empty chairs to give weight to my loneliness, empty chairs that mean something. To have a good mastery of this loneliness I must have an adequate number of empty chairs, empty chairs representing each and every regretable little moment every indiscretion every 'thing' I should not have done or every 'word' I should not have said and these few chairs I have around me now are not enough to last today, I need more empty chairs.

The longer you live, the more empty chairs you gather...

The chairs you chose to post... those regretted moments and words must have been colourful indeed.

Actually I felt it in my chest when I read it! Very good!

such a cheerful picture, such a melancholy post.

You need to do something you've never done before. Today.
