 Your Poem It is your hand that bleeds me life, your sounds expanding lungs, your brush, your paint, your words of hurt lined in brine and this is how I am born. You write of joys sugar-plumed from memory’s grasp, then turning a lane, bring shadows of light to meet dark revelations, and your pen inks them in blackest gloom. You are the diver reaching depths that even whales will not go and here, now one would find you still reaching to touch a center. You are the moth to flame, a lady in search of her knight, a tribute in search of a goddess. I am your poem. I am the lady spun from silk and rags the gentle man soured and bent, grateful for life I am the child that Heaven sent Whose laughter only fairies may hear Where imagination is a flight into regions yet explored, and I am war, starvation, greed and avarice, horrid tales that leave hearts torn. I am the conscious, subconscious, and at times, the unforgiving. I am love, a dream worth living. I am craft carved by your quill, a mind in solemn bent, and still. I am your poem, An ode penned from deep your vessel And you are responsible in turning me into sound or Braille, to leave me fly or keep me railed allowing me to tenderly touch or gash the thought of men just do not be such to Muse that you give her no ken. I am yours, but won’t be owned. I am yours, a swift atone. You, the poet ~ Me, your poem. ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 26 November 2002 |
