The pain of our ambition sometimes shackles us with the need to succeed creating frustrations from dead ends that multiply into such intensity that our explosive creativity will leak out in the pleasure of explosive (Changed from something maybe too sexy) success. Words rhythm in my mind If they need to be together Punctuate if the need is there Strip the words to bone But do not lose the meaning Let me write for all Not in the style of one While some live in the words expanding Others will say get to the point Some limit a verse to twenty lines Others will last the length of pages Like the music that filled our ears The words that see our minds Have so many styles That the blues of writing Are never delivered the same But let it rock and roll Am I the poets of poets? For there is really none Only master teachers with golden verse Who still speak in different voices Even after so many years Smiling beyond interpretations From the cradle of lost time Being so human in their resting place So I say I am a gentle warrior Whose time may never come But that the blessing of his words Has made him quite mad In infecting you To reinvent him In your words carrying his Borrowed time So my player is to preach to you In silent words For your soul is a sanctuary That only you can find In the puzzle of words That makes you so Special that I wrote this for you Email me at davelyoung1@hotmail.com D.Lester Young (05/05/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) |

  (smiles) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I believe really while perhaps some poets experiment with more voices than others, there is not one who can examine every one, yet we each have a soul and it is very valuable and to just find one voice is such a beautiful thing! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
