empirical shadows and beautiful light

hello, it's me robert.

i know you're probably wondering why i'm posting this instead of a poem. well, one reason is to thank those of you who've been so generous with your comments (you know who you are).  Thank you for your time, kindness and appreciation.

not long ago i went over this blog and recalled of some my favorites. then i thought i'd like to share the top five (not necessarily in the order i place them in) with you. so, let's revisit, shall we:

5. because this poem takes me back to a time in my life when my pain mingled more with another whose soul has been through a lot of the same i chose "never". i hope you enjoy it as well:

4.this is one of my personal favorites for the fact it's written from a woman's perspective. i wrote this for what i thought was a legit contest at the time but kept it for it's feeling. "Oh Me ( I Am The One)":

3. the tone in this poem brings me remember how much work it took to finish composing it. when i did i was so satsfied with the rersults that i go back to it from time to time just to smile. i hope you do to. "The Primrose Veil":

2. getting near the end and the choices aren't getting any easier hehe. to be totally honest with you my earlier work hold a lot of my favorites so the next picks are going to be from 2006. this i just love because it not only worked as a poem but a ballad of sorts as well (yes, i sung it to whom it was written for hehe). "Soulmate":

1. my number one pick is one that i poured my heart into. it reflects my feeling's as a painful chapter in my life was coming to a close. to be honest it still brings a tear. here we have "Soothing Rhythm White":
