Dormant
For 4 years now, I have been dormant,
Not through choice, along this way, I have lost my voice,
Through a dead romance that has extended its warranty,
I need to end this, as if I don’t, I will never be able to get to my wish,
The needing of feeling free,
The reason why I used to love being me,
I used to make people laugh,
I would act rather daft,
Silly, unpredictable, risk-taking Sam,
But like I said I have lost him,
Through a romance that is dead,
Where neither of us will win.
I have been dormant for so long,
I fear that I will not return, and if I do, I will be broken or wrong,
I fear I will not be as strong,
But If I don’t try, my chance would have gone.
Let me wake up from this stupid romance,
Let me wake up from feeling so lifeless,
Let me dance again,
With friends,
With lovers,
With haters,
With people, I call wasters.
I will wake up from this nightmare,
I never used to scare so easily,
But I am in no hurry as I fear the change,
But I need to remember I have so much to gain,
All I have to do is take an aim, shoot, so I can dance in the rain,
Be free again, be free to sing, dance and laugh,
At the present moment that wishes seems so far.
Lets not be dormant anymore,
I want to make choices and be damn sure,
That what I do is right,
I don’t want to feel so uptight,
I want to feel I can move and feel light,
I want to be able to shine again,
In the bright the sky among the stars,
So I can be as far as I can be from this nightmare of a dead romance

Samual, your poems go from strength to strength as you are so abundantly articulate. You take the reader with you even if the reader does not share your predicament. You are accomplished in this respect. Thank again. Keith
