It's interesting how poems written by me so long ago in some ways seem like they were written by a different person. In truth - I was different - although I suppose, at the heart, the same. How wonderful would it be to be able to go back and talk to the uniwhisp who wrote this...have a conversation about poetic choices, and ask questions that would reveal thoughts I'm sure I've long since forgotten....but I digress. Back to the Poem-Off!!
My partner-in-poems, 
@mitchelljaworski kept this last round from falling back into the abyss of bitterness, so we've found ourselves in the realm of lighthearted lyrics for now. Read his last entry here: : Heaven

The Silent Question
To tell you a secret
Rich and deep
Kept within
Now unreleased
Should you draw close
A risk, a chance
Be brave, my love
In case I can't
So unsure
This choice before me
Welcomes doubt
Of what's to be
Lost in a world
Where past memories
Fuel the fire
For passion's stories
But then is gone
And now is here
I could be wrong
And that I fear
But hope is strong
When love is true
To wait seems long
Away from you
Alive, inspired
Our time together
Brings forth this wonder
Growing desire
To tell you a secret
Rich and deep
Kept within
Now unreleased
Should you draw close
A risk, a chance,
Be brave, my love
In case I can't.
What's a poem-off, you ask? Just a little thang that started a little bit ago. I read a poem that @mitchelljaworski posted, from his old-school writing days. It reminded me of all of my old-school poems, so I challenged him to see if we could go turn-for-turn and repost long lost words from the vaults of time. No rules apply, and new stuff might just make the mix. Check it out, y'all. Follow the links down the rabbit hole...
