Poeta Nascitur, Non Fit

Furor Poeticus

Stirred into quickly rushing wind,
Storming words needing grounding,
Implanting seeds upon level paper,
Or growing upon vertical flat screens,
Lines of time, rushing flood of thought.

Poet stimulated mental paradoxical sleep,
Catching wave of recording in reality,
Stimulated memory flash flooding,
Moving frenzy mastering dreamscape,
Evaporating upon flash dances of light.

Rooted purpose spreading wings,
Ghostly butterfly of yesterday shadow.
Weathering creases changing time,
Wrinkling magnetic words harvesting,
Dust gathering words from past birth.

Poeta Nascitur, Non Fit

Born love language haunting characters.
Roller coaster expressional living bursts.
Wailing babe blessed then cursed to write,
Like music, words coming to enlightenment,
Implanted on keystroke pens of imagery.

In the heart of poetry, one must climb
From a gutter of one’s own fragile words.
Climb one-step up the creative mountain,
Exploring places digging deep within the
Language finding the core of the true poet.

Poetry is not about real physical wealth.
But of a dream that consumes the need,
About others enjoying something long after
You are gone in your own faded words
That haunt the grave back into smiles.

Note: While poetry has become a heart of mine, to be called a poet only time will tell the truth, and those that bestow the honor ahead of my passing will bless my path.

Stimulating and inspiring.

Maybe we all have the seed of poetry when we are born, but then the art has to be cultivated.

Well you do!

Love,
Margherita
