Suppressed Emotions Many a poem waiting Its the same scenario Preliminary sketching Which way will they go Poems hang between Among high and lows I am being a nonentity Until my emotion flows Harbouring the hidden That my heart contains Paper dreams I shred Between the ink stains Suppressed emotions Are refusing to budge My inferiority complex Spills a tearful smudge Hope©2004 |

I have admired your ability to use so few words in a sentence and have such meaning in a short poem |

Dear Hope your words are tough, but this is how you feel and you express it always with grace and power. ... but I do hope you won't linger on those complexes, for they have no reason to stay with you! Sending much love and hugs. Margherita |

Many a poem 4 or 5 times Or is it years Until the feeling Suppressed Emotions Visions of words echoing themes Dream Many a poem waiting Thoughts out of step Are kept Thinking they're rubbish And years provide Their skill Dancing on vision Of words To illuminate Ideas Until my emotion flows Harbouring the hidden That my heart contains Paper dreams I shred Between the ink stains Suppressed emotions Are refusing to budge My inferiority complex Spills a tearful smudge Of frustration of my empty soul Knowing I have the words But half Not whole You have a talent Hope that should never ever think of block If the poem is about you trying to write, allow yourself to "still" to face the challenge of allowing parts of your mind. Old trick I use - I treat my body like a subway - I tell my feet to close up the office and start to go home. I consciously work through my system telling all the parts to go home and route them via some link to outside of the body. This is really nothing more than getting the stuff out of your system but the biggest fear people have, is losing control and not understanding that losing control that you gain it. Keep writing Dave |
