Poem #125 (The Key To Unlocking The Pathway Towards A Respective Distinction)

The closing of an old literary chapter

Now starts

A new poetic distinction

On cue

With a respective key phrase of penmanship

The Time Is Now

For separating myself from mere opinions

Condescending

My intentions to display

Written creativity

Remains the essential key for

Unlocking the pathway

Towards endless and infinite opportunities

For befriending and becoming

A Legendary status

Speaks volumes

Within my own right

For existing as a plight for

One Source & One Soul

A birthright that's timelessly

Quintessential within itself

Until the daunting final hours

Of life's ticking time clock

Finally stop ticking

For only me

And not the rest of humanity

Well done...I love the exploration of the creative process. As writers, I think that all we can strive for is to first connect with ourselves and then to connect with our readers; in this, perhaps we will be lucky enough to exist beyond ourselves at some point (even if it does happen after the "ticking of our clocks" has stopped).

[Lucy Morningstar &heart..]

i love this one...like kublakhan27 said, its a coming of age piece that captures how artists feel coming into their own so to speak. really lovely job on this one :D

[kublakhan27]

I interpret this as a coming-of-age piece...a moment when a writer doesn't just want to be known as a writer, but an artist...I really like this one, well done.

In the end, it doesn't matter what anyone else's opinion is. This is your art. Only the satisfaction you derive from it matters.

Your endings leave me with questions lately.
This sounds almost suicidal and then again, it might possibly be a different way of saying "when your time is up. It is up" -ponders-

Another intriguing and original piece. :)

There is a lot going on here. Feelings of not being accepted, yet feeling a higher status is warranted.... and further on I sense a tone of imminent death toward the ending. The message is confusing me somewhat. I think I'll come back shortly and read again - maybe gaining a new perspective with fresh eyes.
