Thanks Mire. its been ugly but i have friends standing behind me and it makes it a bit esaier

Thank You all for your kind comments. They mean so much to me. I am thankful that I have this community to share what I write on the little bits of free time I somehow manage to scrounge up.

What matters the most in life is the ways in which we touch others'. This is just another way for me to touch others' lives in what I hope is a positive manor.

Thanks again for taking a few minutes of your precious time to read my work.

Ive read all of your work, and felt that I had to post.. All your poems are strikingly beautifull, yet at the same time I feel like a voyeur reading them. They are powerful glipses into yourself..

I wish I could write here what I truly mean, and dedicate as I truly would.. but obfuscation is a gift not easily thrown away

thanks for the poems

Thank you for continuing to share your beautiful work and talent with us Niceguy. You are an inspiration. ;)

Alone

Keep strong by your faith, my friend - it is all too often in the times of despair that we find beauty all around us. I hope that you find peace and joy in this quiet solitude that you have been given.

Thank you for sharing your beatiful work NiceGuy. It is truly touching and a comfort to know other's feel the same way.

Poetry Contest Update:
My poem, Affairs of Dragons and Wizards, was one of the winners for the best Reflective Poem category in the Herbst Program of Humanities poetry contest, and was announced today at an e-days kickoff reception.
One of my other poems would have won another category (I think it was a Haiku... that will be verified later) but they were only allowing each person to win in one category, thus not letting me win in multiple categories.

Also, I apologize for not posting any poems or other works here in a while. I have been busy with other things. Hopefully soon I will write some more to share with you guys.

Bravo! Congrats Niceguy!
I knew you would win no matter what poem you submitted. Your work is worthy of recognition.

wow this is some really good stuff.

i think everyone goes thru this....really and truly, just most people dont make it known....
i personally feel this way about a coupla people, but one in particular thats out of reach....*sigh* dont give up on life though, there are so many wonderful things awaiting you! and thanks for sharing! keep up the beautiful work!

Thank you all for your kind responses.

And now, another haiku. It's been a while since I've had any modivation to write anything more that's ended up being worth keeping. Tonight I wrote this one while at fencing, and thought it worth sharing.

Your honesty and self examination make your words all the more moving. I hope you'll soon find inspiration for some additions. Thanks for directing me here :)

Been a while since I've written anything worth keeping or sharing. Been spending more time thinking about some changes I might make to previous pieces to make them better. But I thought of this while at work and had to write it down.

A moment of silence in tribute to a once whole piece of paper...

The following I wrote during a weekly thursday evening bible talk. What we were talking about triggered a thought process and the following just came to my mind very quickly.

Recovering Depression

Welcome back to active writing!

After your time caving, it's a very vivid image in both the figurative and literal sense to be in a dark cave and then in the light.
I really connected to that mental, but also physical memory. Good Job! :)
