That Space between Poetry

It's been awhile since , I've written, this poem adresses that.

SAY SOMETHING...

SILENT SO LONG STRUCK DUMB.

The caps left on.

Is anything at all better than silence?

It is written , to everything , there Is a time

words and the distance between them

That Space

The space in which one breathes

Exhale

Inhale again..

Thoughts mature, they warm, they rise like steam

they are the space between myself

and poetry.

Where dreams separate or find a commonality

with reality.

That Space.

Festering sores of real or imagined indignities

Separate in categories of believe and disbelieve.

Opaque or transparent

Which will I choose to be?

Filling the space between myself and poetry.

I think , mostly with memories.

Never with indifference.

Never without regard for

That Space.

seeds and dreams

That in their own time grow strong enough

to hold my hearts true intent

and only then the silence stops

no longer , struck dumb, it must therefore come naturally

When ….

That Space.

Becomes poetry.

Oh yes ,that space ,all that silence..how long will i keep..
those thoughts once will mature and they rise again
its that space taking me to poetry..its the land of mixed realty and dreams
its where realty comes close to being dreams ,and again ,dreams becomes a realty
its where everything mixes..and thoughts come like in sleep in dreams..so forwardly
and i fill all the gaps ..there in my mind ,oh that pretty picture i suddenly write
it comes so easy ..like a stream ,oh those thoughts,how hurriedly they imprint on all minds
then i know i am in the land of poetry ..at last..no space ,i jumped and i create..no space ..,lovely void
perfect and lovely and dreamy
lovely write

Nice work...one must write the most obvious and the most secretive thoughts to know of where they come and yet it is the silence that at times holds us ... until we find thos thoughts again...

nice...

When writing our poetry it is like exposing our souls even when others don't read it and sometimes it causes hesitation when we are even unsure of what we feel... I know I can relate to this piece of artwork.

That sayes it all!! I so understand the limbo you feel, when words become so hard to find---as far as expression goes.
Truely an amazing piece!! i really enjoyed reading!!

may have to ponder over, and reread a few times...because it relates so well to how i feel sometimes.

This is great, brilliant use of words.
I love that space, the breathing space between words and poetry.
