Thoughts During Poetry Readings….2002

I play on words, so…
        Allow your mind to steal
                 My mines
    & allow

gold

to filter in

~*~

…and when will I get
back to you
these silent thoughts
these lovely moments
while others on the cape
or on the Pacific
hold memories

~*~

TONITE
They all clapped
After each and every poem
And did not wait or pause

Or realize

Her depth

Who is better at poetry
A man who feels?

Or a woman,
Who counts syllables?

~*~

I want [need, desire, bleed] to write
And then read
As if my
Voice
Should bear true

My own.

~*~

Serve me well
This quiet thought
Come loud.

Then whisper at me again
Making the promise
That if nothing is left
Let my heart

Alone

Stand

As poet.

~*~

She sits alone
&
only the open book
invites her in

blank pages

for a full mind.

~*~


[Side note:  In an opportunity to fill up the wonderful addition of several shelves now added to my office space, I went through boxes of “not yet organized but I’ll get to it” stuff which is now, officially, more organized than before.  In doing so, I ran across some pages of thoughts while enjoying a poetry reading from a year ago with my friend, and editor, Bridget Shenachie.  

With all due respect, I dedicate these thoughts of poetry to Shenachie.]

Oh, K.  I know what this means to me...I am not sure if it was what you intended.  But it is something that has brought a tear to my eye.  

This is just lovely.

Sunshine~~~Glad to see that you are getting things organized. I've written some thoughts down at times and came back to them months later and when reading them I can't ever remember writing them in the first place. I hope you aren't that bad. LOL. Enjoyed...Paul

What an honor to have one of your poems dedicated to me!  Such an apt description of mining the depths of experience and emotion and expressing the riches found there. It sounds as though you reorganized not only your shelves, but your thoughts on your passion to write.  This is a keepsake treasure of your beautiful gift of friendship.

Karilea....I've read my poetry at nights like this...sitting on tall stool with everyones eyes and ears, but I have such a quiet voice.  Poetry read aloud by the author, takes on meaning.  Knowing you voice, I know hearing yours would be beautiful.

Karilea, this is beautiful. I also would love to hear you read your own poetry. I know it would be a beautiful and touching experience, for you to read it the way that you intend for it to be read.

I hope it's a man who feels, because I'm stuck that way....though I count 'em when I can make myself do it.....

This a beautiful expression of what it's like, no doubt about it -- you definitely do both!

Yes...I believe that this gold has filtered in...straight to the heart and soul.
Beautiful.

I tend to feel alot...the desire
the wanting
the needing
the bleeding to write
I know the feeling.
You're an awesome poet.
Kinda makes me feel like I'm only a boy who feels..
