~*~

Where does a poem begin and end
running with a vision through a dream
lulled to sleep in a thought to be.

Taking you over the rainbow
soaring on a wing and prayer
I don't know, I don't know anymore.

I am less cluttered, more resigned nowadays
without much to go on, save for poets in love
my muse being short lived, fleeting moments at a time.

As I stumble over words
rewriting the same verse
makes my breath catch in the worst way.

Oh, to be a poets inspiration
blushing hidden innuendo's
that makes the heart race.

With each carefully chosen word
swooning with every tilt of your head
touching fingertips to your lips.

Like a slip knot holds together
generously cutting the slack
drawing on the meaning.

Colors the mind and decorates the heart
waterfalls down a stream
letting go of inhibitions.

Each stanza, there for the taking
until you reach the end and you just know
basking in the limelight all your own.

This is really beautifully written, Lori.  Even as a few emotions catch in the throat,
the word flow remains smooth and fluid.

its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last

Kacy~  You're a doll, thank you so much!

Maur~ You wanna be my best friend?
Thank you for always being here for me.
Love you~

Hey girlie~  I'm betting it will never happen, the fencing in part!  Nice try though.     
I'm so glad you stopped by Michele.  Thanks.

I was, really?  Hmmmm, I'm always the last one to know these things.
It's so nice to see you here James, thank you.

Lauren~ If only our muse's were a dime a dozen eh?
It's slow going working my way out of this rut, but I'm getting there.
  Oh hark, I see light!   Hugs you, and thanks.

I asked to be a poet's inspiration one time. I got my wish, and it is wonderful.

Lovely writing, you.

I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

=====================================

I relate to this more than I ever would want to admit...and there was a time when I measured myself by the poetry inspired--my own--and that that was "written for me" ...
I guess the moth is jaded or maybe as someone told me the other day... "maybe i outgrew the moth wings" ( more like singed them one time too many)( of my own doing and choice) "Play in the pretty blue flame--expect to get burned...only got myself to blame"

as you say... I dont know...I dont know...

what I do know is -- there comes a point when you realize...its all just words on a page...just typing...and I want the real damn thing.. not words that are usually spoken by someone hiding behind a screen for someone else hiding behind a screen.

And I think I'll shut up the moth rambling and let Jacskon say it so much better than I.


"The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
still we continued on through the night

~~~

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch"



J Browne

Where does a poem begin and end


where ever you make it Lori-girl.  
(IWIHWT)  



Words break into splinters on the pages I write
If I lost you I don't know what I'd do ...
Burn forever where the flame turns blue

Lori-

This poem was one of your bests, and I've
read many by you that truly inspired me.
What you write here is so true though. I
think you are far from being out of
inspiration. When you write, people pay
attention, you have the kind of talent
that I not only admire but respect.
Take care hon.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into

Hi Temptress~  Thank you for reading and for sharing your wonderful wish come true.

SEA~  Thanks for stopping by and reading what I wrote.  I've really missed seeing you here.

Susan~  Yes, I guess so.  Thank you for the wonderful!  It means a lot!

Linda~ You know that works both ways, I love hearing from you too.  Thank you Lady~

Without a back up band??  lolo...only you Tweets.
You are such fun, and thank you.

JM~ You never ramble, I am deeply moved by your insight and the time you take for me.  I know what you mean about being jaded.  I don't ever want to become bitter, which explains my weakness for humble pie.  Oh yum,  cough cough! ....Thank you sincerely, Janet Marie.

Donna~ Yep, we can wish and be happy for others, but I think it's human nature to wish for a love like that.  Thank you for knowing,  and hugs~

Amy~  That was so nice of you to say, thank you for all your good vibes and encouraging words.  I hope you know how much they mean to me.  Big hugs for you~

Hey Krawdad~ I like a "thought to be"  myself...
kind of like when we least expect it.
Thank you for reading and letting me know you were here.

How I once yearned to be poet's inspire
To read black and white words, feel the heat of desire
And know it's mine.
Now I know that one word's the best poetry
If it's sincere and offered only to me
All of the time.
For pretty words are no more than air
If they're written for show and not for care
Who needs such rot?
I guess some of us must get scorched and burned
Before we know what love is and also learn
What it is not.

I like this very much, Bluesy one... from the title through the last line... hope you don't mind the path my mind took! *S*

May love and light always shine upon you!

suthern lady~ No, I don't mind your take at all.  It is the best advice I have heard in a long time..... I think I want to go there and take a long walk down that path.  Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.  Hugs you~

Martie~  Well if I don't hold it together I might miss something good.
  Thank you for gracing me with your nice reply.

Noah~ Thank you, you are much to kind.  Truth is, I wish I had more to go on!
One of the first lessons I learned about poetry is, I can't force my muse.
