There’s a secret part of me That is longing to be free From a dark and dismal prison deep within It has chosen its own time And the nature of its rhyme It is yearning to be dancing in the wind There’s a truth I can’t deny There’s a thought that wants to fly On the sweet melodic lyrics of my wing It’s the quiver in my quill’ The submission of my will It’s the silence of my soul that wants to sing I don’t hesitate to part From the contents of my heart In those true and gentle moments of a muse I don’t care what others think Of the color of my ink Nor the fragile words and phrases that I use There’s a poem inside of me Deep in fathoms of the sea There are teardrops that are swelling in my eye I am longing to unleash All the passion in my reach I am going to stretch my poet wings and fly!

 Were I you, I'd let them fall, I would not care at all, at all. The color of your ink is true And that is why we all love you! |

Elizabeth This is such a nice poetic mini autobiography you have painted. Wonderful arrangement of thoughts.....Like these I love... "I don’t hesitate to part From the contents of my heart In those true and gentle moments of a muse I don’t care what others think Of the color of my ink Nor the fragile words and phrases that I use" Great! Eric |

love the beginning of this (especially)!: "There’s a secret part of me That is longing to be free... It has chosen its own time And the nature of its rhyme ... yearning to be dancing in the wind" |

Elizabeth Santos, Take a bow. that is one of the very best poems that you have ever written, it is of the ones that I have read anyway. The meter, the rhyming and the story it tells, is a joy to read. Love to you dear Lady and keep them coming. Lindsay |

Dear Elizabeth, I am new here and just an amateur at this, but that was truly a poem that touched my heart. You had me tearing up from the first stanza. Thank you for your eloquent and inspiring words! |
