Poems in progress... by keith

So from time to time I'll put poems I'm working on here.  I'm honstly not much of a poet, but it provides a good emotinal outlet for me, and is less involved than an entire story.  Feel free to comment or post suggestions....

 

"Seen"
It seems, love, I have disappointed you --
that you expected more of me, again,
to be strong, even if I must pretend 
there was nothing to what you put me through.
No need to explain, your friends all agreed,
my concerns were childish, a selfish path
when instead we should focus on your wrath,
and honor your experience, your need.
I wish you understood why i must leave
instead of turning, avoiding my eyes
whispering to friends I was full of lies
unable to see or hear why I grieve.

"Uncertainty on the Edge of Doubt"
What I once thought was hard fact
were only chalk line hypotheses
impermanent remedies
blown away by a breeze.

Once we were open to the other
but your past was concealed
and it’s cold where I used to feel -
perhaps it's time to travel on

I'll write stories from the edge
so look for yourself in pages
where no longer constrained by cages
we’ll achieve what might have been.
