the eye of the needle

I pull words from
somewhere
and from that same somewhere
deep within
something pushes them
seeking recognition
threading words through
the tiny opening
that refuses closure
stringing them out
piling them into poems
begging
gasping
for understanding
I pull
they push
I collect words
gather the strings
I need gather
I must
for stop they don’t
and go back
inside they won’t
and see I cannot
the aching place
from whence they come
and lest it overfill
and explode
stand I with pockets stuffed
picking poems
and no where to put
one more single word
but the ache stills not
pushes its words
some sense to make
it cries out
for me to stop
the insanity
the words
the ache

~Holy Moly,...this here is so powerfully written.  I love it. I like the freestyle...I like the emotion...the expression.  Well done. Thank you.  The concept used is great...Take care. *Peace.

POWERFUL is the singular word to describe this one!

I try hard,
they swirl,
increase force,
to no avail,
force from within,
inner strength,
threaded corners,
don't let go,
words that I
want to place,
in trajected lines,
dejected soul,
painful cries,
slam
dunk
push
pull,
slap
on face
by fate...


sorry for all that, but a powerful piece like this makes me flip off... hope you did not mind the intruding thoughts....

regards, sudhir

Corazon,
  This poem, had to click onto it when I saw the title. Wow, this is too much, for I just started doing a study of "the eye of the needle", from the Bible. When I saw your title and read your message, I was in awe for what you said in verse. When I finish my study, if you like, I will email you my thoughts.  Thanks for this one.  Marcy

Corazon, I have to echo the above wow's.... You and Doreen should team up for a poem. Lately I've noticed your styles just plow through and bam I'm exhausted, but satisfied...

Sweetheart: Just keep your eyes on the cotton, cause when the thread won't go through the needle, maybe the needle is blunt....

LOL at exhausted, give me one of those table tennis balls on elastic or maybe a yoyo...
