"Poetry ...Today? Right..."

A Friday Thought

“Poetry …Today?  Right…”

 

Do you realize…

I close my eyes

and see

…you -

in moon’s glow,

day’s light,

shadow’s flow,

eve’s deep silence.

Midnaught’s  grasp

and Faerie Danse…

 

Framed in your window

eyes gazing on and on

out and out…

into places only the angels go

and minds barely dare.

 

Do you …understand -

That?…

 

We share breath

presence

…existence…

in ways that make no sense

and yet

…yet… are ALL that make

some true sense

of the emotions

and heart and strength

and wishes and dreams

shared with each scrawl -

each touch of pen’s tip

each fingertip’s press

of thoughts to …view

to …eyes glowing soft

with the dreams now within.

 

There IS poetry

in each breath - given,

voices raised -

whispers shared…

each kiss awaiting the touch of lips

each hand softly closing upon another’s.

The fist clenched tight…

fingers - shaking… in the night.

 

There IS poetry

in the starlight’s diamond glisten

the darknesses’ clasping tight

the tears’ continued flow

…the almost smiles

…the broken eyes

- each …only world… some know.

 

There IS poetry

in the thunders

and the lightnings’ jagged show

the taste of seasons comings

the ends of things …known.

 

There IS life

within - that beats and grows

and sings with tones

that float and sway

and tease and play

and draw …what we are

to reach beyond - all we have

- to what we only wish might exist

and yet…

and yet hope is all the stronger

for our voice of want and wonder

to intone …in tones

that weave the magyks

amongst the sparkles that live and flow within.

 

Bring it

Taste it

Feel it

Live it...

Its who YOU are

REAL

and now…

 

Give your self - for in the end -

What else HAVE you got

That’s truly yours to give?

 

Poetry …right… today.

I am left breathless. I know this review falls way short of doing these thoughts justice but I am...breathless and tearful, fluid in thought and completely absorbed...so many things...so many...get lost from vision and yet here...I can't even voice my thoughts! My tea's cold...good sign that ;) xx
