Creative Genius

 

 

Happy the one who can let loose of everything around, and get lost in the depths of his passion to embrace his own self, to become one with his soul, to rejoice and rebirth in his native and creative genius ...

 

 When the drug called 'Passion' seizes the artist in me

It doesn't ask for the right time,

If it stands in the way of things ...

Passion doesn't kick in on command

There it is - suddenly! ... without warning

Grabs me, tears me into its voluptuous lap

Overpowering with its grandeur

Each and every feeling and thought within me

No escaping it ....... no option,

But complete surrender to the free oscillations

Of my being

Succumbing to subconsciousness

To mate with my spirit

Nothing but my human shell

Remaining in this material world .....

 

Out of these magical moments when nothing

Can hold back an artist - hot with creative energy

From pouring it out through a spiritual climax -

The most beautiful, the most perfect,

And the most precious pieces of art are born,

And provide their creator with a

Wonderful sense of achievement and deep satisfaction ...

oh, wow! I know this feeling, sometimes. . . when the words come from nowhere and fill you with more than you've known. . . when you look back and wonder where the big ideas came from and how they spilled themselves on the page so perfectly. This is a favorite!

I love the mood and feelings this poem has.. Great flow.. love it!

I like the way you have placed the new lines. It gives a feeling of needing to read the next line to get the sense of how it meets the poem, but has its own separate meaning itself.

I totally understand this. Your "creations" pop up in the most randomest of times and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Great write.

"The most beautiful, the most perfect,
And the most precious pieces of art are born, "

This I can really relate to and most often feel that the best things I do are plucked out of thin air that never existed before I just discovered them.

Beautiful wonderous

Even though I write mostly from deep repressed sadness, I know the feeling of your words. It's an almost unexplainable takeover of the heart and mind that doesn't want anything more than to press itself out in raw form. You have an amazing choice of words for what drives many to write, great write.

I love this poem! It just strikes you sometimes! Creative Genius! The pacing towards the end of this poem; that you're creating with your diction, is magnificent. This is a really good piece...ummm....a really really good piece.
