Days in the life of a poet

When life gets too complicated and our hearts and minds seek out what is good and provides us sustenance...poetry is the breath of life. Words allow us to communicate...to express that within us that is most precious and real. We crave that which is familiar and gives us comfort...read and receive*

Of Love Poetic

I write to increase the wealth of my mental
want to be of service…become influential
Giving of self is a Godly virtue…
as I share my time, this space…with you
Poets of purpose…talents beyond greatness
the inkwell so deep, it almost appears weightless

Nothing will break this focus
…no moment of sorcery nor hocus-pocus
No seraphim, Eros, devil or Angel’s fuss
God influences my mental…as thus

Catapult my mind through life-less matter
few situations get me madder…than the Hatter!
sometimes want to serve hate on a platter…but
love is better…it’s what I give and would rather
see evil fall hard…hit the ground…splatter!

I can read the work of many others
ink so sweet…sometimes it smothers
so I breathe deeper and become over-bloated
I eat every morsel…especially the sugar coated

Consume the words…they give me life
from daily burdens, they ease all strife
encouragement and love in levels of light
gotta wear shades…they’re ink so bright

Offering…interpretations
     visual creations
calculations
     stimulating libations
striations…all
     communications of…
life-lessons
     personal confessions
secret digressions and
     written verbal weapons
piercing perceptions…all…

In the name of this blessed art
every mind writes a specific chart
I compare them to miracles…oh yes
Thou art…
great, gritty, funny and smart…
givers of the words and I…
may we never, never, ever…part*
