2 Poets to Poets: Why We Write

Our precious emotions
Fuel the gift
Of poetic expression
Transforming into spirit
Genuine thoughts
Planted in hearts
That seek
Soft retreats
Into the mind
Rendering time
To teach
Granting sight and clarity
To the blind & blurred
Articulating words
So many earnestly
Desire to speak
Is definitely no
Easy feat
But we do this
Because we
Passionately believe
It’s a necessity
To show the human spirit's
Stance
When dealing with
Issues
Of the heart
Conveyed within
Our poetic expose
Which has many
Thinking
Feeling
Exploring
Adoring
Our messages
Which are so hard to be
Ignored
And
Yes
This is our vocation
Putting paper to pen
But its more than
Just an responsive
Action
It
Is
Indeed
Our Life! ….
A life of responsibility
And convictions
Standing in bold ink
Changing the world’s conditions
Giving into no resign
Until releasing minds confined
Carefully crafted
Words on a canvass
Like an artist’s brush strokes
Painting words that provoke
Feelings like music
Of sounds and lyrics
Words beautifully sculpted
And carefully constructed
Displayed in the museums
Of the hearts of men & women
Thoughtfully shared
Unconcealed and bare
Like newborn babes
Innocent and unashamed
Sweet & untainted
Politically unacquainted
Pure passages of honest
Artistically flawless
Poetry
We bless you with
This gift
From 2 poets
To all poets

What Does That Mean?

Chequered thoughts
Fragmented
But
Loosely
Chained together
I’m losing myself
But this time
It does
Not
Matter

What does that mean?

Inhibited
No More
I’m floating on
A feeling
Too hard to
Ignore
Releasing my
Potential
Visually
I can
See IT
But words won’t
Let me
Speak IT

What does that mean?

My expectations
Are high
I’m usually a
Realist
But today
I wanna fly
Into a world
Where dreaming
Is the
In thing
To
Do
As thoughts of you
Cause butterflies
To
Flutter
Into the
Deepest
Part
Of
ME

What does that mean?

To be perfectly
Honest with you

I’m
Not
Sure

Lol lol lol

Are You?
