Poet's Dance


kick down the walls
of consequence
watch them topple
slowly down
on sacred ground
as verse of ink
spills from the quill
to meet the page
in happenstance
to take a chance
on poet's dance
survivor's climb
in perfect rhyme
each syllable
a mark of time
as moments pass me by...

and still I cry

I wish you could have seen my jaw drop and my eyes widen as I read this poem.... Other than "You're my HERO!" I can think of nothing to say.... I am in awe.

yes, my friend..tears are good...cry out the poison, until it is mostly gone..then start to pick yourself back up...respect you, for no one will ever respect you as you should be...love you, for no one will ever love you as you should be loved...until YOU do..   dont fear the tears, or the heart ache...it is part of this unfair life that we live in....but the writing is part of your healing....give in to the words.. let them spill as your tears spill...and you will heal my friend.....
great job!!  enjoyed..

You always had the power to release the thoughts ... ya' just work really well off of a challenge or a little inspire~
Love ya'

I think you've gotten it exactly, Vicky.  The poet's work is a gift to the world that often comes from tragedy, and doesn't help the poet... it's an act of altruism in many ways.  "Still I cry," despite the message, the art and the beauty that comes from the tears... it doesn't change what they are.

And I've already told you what I think of the meter.  Very daring.

Brian

Faith is a fine invention
When gentlemen can see
But microscopes are prudent
In an emergency.
