Below is the poem I wrote:

"Inspiration"

Inspiration running through my mind,
of all the wonders I have yet to find.
I had a love,
but she left me behind.
I thought I was her one and only,
isn't life so unkind.
I try not to think of pleasure,
I try not to think of pain.
I wish I had my baby back to love me all over again.
You tell me,
what the hell is pleasure?
You tell me,
what is pain?
When I find myself crying,
and walking in the rain.
Oh! Lord I can't stand the pain!
Please let me love again.

I wrote this for Prince as he has always been a inspiration to me when it came 
to writing my intimate poems. Yet the subject of this poem was a young man I 
met in Germany, who was in the military. He was there for R&R. We use to write 
poetry together. He was sent to Viet Nam, and was there for only 3 days before 
he was killed. He was my soulmate, that was in 70. It took me until
82 to
really love anyone else. So my poem is about a lost love.

You're welcome Johnda, and keep up the writing, I'm not sure about how
reputable the site is as Ben describes it but when one door closes,
another one opens.

I'm sorry to say that poetry.com is infamous for being a money leeching
poetry scam.

search around the net and you'll find other sites like this as well. I
was
published through this so-called group and even footed the $60 charge
for
one copy of the book my poem was featured in. Be careful...
