POETRY It is here that I sit alone, alone, alone, surrounded, yet, left alone, with my poetry hugging to me, comforting me, soothing me, never leaving me alone, alone, alone. Like a gentle lover whose soothing voice settles my nervous beating heart, it soothes my mind leading me to calm waters. I feel it's hand stroke up my back, firm fingers, down again. It rubs my shoulders to ease the tension of once again being alone, alone, alone. E.M.L. [This message has been edited by Michael (08-08-2011 07:34 PM).] |

Poetry is many things to many people, of course, to me it helped me vent my rage at my wasted life. I have since calmed down, forgiven myself, and looked toward the future. ~ If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it. ~ |

Poetry - is that which speaks when yourself cannot do so; that pride that steps beyond itself and says that which it was too proud to voice; poetry is the cry of a tortured soul that otherwise would never be heard; a lover's lament; a friend when no one else is; expression of all the things that go round and round; the pain that tortures; the crying that drowns; the love that all but explodes from the inside out. Poetry is love at it's finest - the grand release, God unfettering our stifled minds. Poetry is His gift, of Freedom. ~~~ Enjoyed the read, j. |
