The “Why” I Write Laying hidden, softly, out of view and sound rumbling intently, growing gently from heart’s mound convenes a word, coupling with another, just until it pours forth, gigantically, as if in a swell. This action forces one to take a pen in hand and write, poetically, something fine and grand but the mind hangs back as the heart pours forth wondering if the words will take their rightful course. For the mind knows what the heart yet does not that the words now penned will soon be forgot ~ a vacancy will then lie in the open hearts’ well, but give it a moment, let it sit just a spell and again it will pour forth with words enamoured of love and life and countless here-afters, moments of time thrust into a black hole, become void as gilded letters to paper refuse to be destroyed. To impart that shift of air so the perfume stings, to extol the bell so the chimes doth ring, to hesitate, slightly, so the words come slow to touch the heart of the reader, there, just so. To allow another to see a love’s true course, to capture the exhilaration of a wild and free horse, to allow the sense of quietude in a babe’s soft sleep, to share with one the shadows of loves’ fill, deep. Anguish comes to one, many, sometimes comes to all when they hear inside the words, know they have the call and yet, when written, it only sounds trite, so banal ah yes, anguish comes to many, sometimes comes to all. But, laying hidden, softly, out of view and sound rumbling intently, growing gently from heart’s mound convenes a word, coupling with another, just until it again pours forth, gigantically, as if in a swell. And the poems thunder on. 7 September, 1999 ©KRJ ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine, when I first saw the title of this, I thought it matters not "why" you write, I'm just glad you do, because I enjoy your work immensely! But then I read this...and oh, how beautifully you tell the why! Outstanding poetry from you again! (I believe this is my favorite of yours  )------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

One of the best I have read so far in 'PIP', you have to read it twice and think several times to appreciate the emotion and fellings behind these words. If I was your teacher I would mark it 9/10, Deducting one purely on my inability to appreciate it fully. Keep writing :-) |

In fact this Deserves a second comment, having read it for a forth time I would like to add that your last comment ‘and the poems thunder on’ exceptionally apt. I shall search for more of your's, and I hope they are of similar flavour and Penned with equal deviation. |
