Thought to Page

Putting a poem to page,
how cumbersome could such a thing be?

Collect lingering words cluttering up spaces in mind,
jot them done in print, letting those who care,
to see.

Every fleeted emotion,

all trickling desires,

every deeply embedded thought.

Give them glimpses, of portions, of your very own soul.

There are ones that will readily grasp,
others that will surely not.

Give them a world so sensually voluptuous,
as to make them forever crave,

or,

bring them to a darkness as deathening
as the deep depths of a fresh dug grave.


Open channels to all they accept as existing,
and sense as real,

or,

expose within themselves to a macab reality,
dead to the feel.

Let them touch forms of Heaven,
one's that ony God truly could,


or,

drag them down with masses,
into a Hell, devouted in knowing,
they willingly would.

Bring back delectable sensations as simple,
as a hand gliding lightly across skin,

or,

to the feelings of utter grief,
expressed in the sorrow,
in the passing, of friend, or kin.

From pointing out the subtle notions of entimacy,
in thier most carnal dream,

To the serenity of such a sound, as made from the motion,
of a slow flowing stream.

From thoughtfully expressing the tender joy,
of the heartfelt knowledge,
of having a child of your own.

To the black stain on your Heart,
for an eternity of existing,
as one,

and alone.

So to all, pondering volumes upon volumes here,
at such an astounding rate,

Seeking undefinable conclusions,
to every aspect of thier destiny
and/or fate.

Be your Heart as open as the Heavens,

or,

as hardened as tempered steel.

Remember the reason of your written word here,
is to express to others,
the essentiality,
of what it is,

To Feel.

i like this idea of how to write and how ideas come to you but i look at it another way i grasp the words as they float endlessly around my mind and to put emotions into itas i pour it like a pitcher of clear water upon the grass of page and it comes out reading like i took lots of time on it, altho' please don't change a thing because this poem is absolutly beautiful and well written. keep up the great work and i look forward to reading more of your work.

You state clearly what most writers feel. To write is a compulsion but you must improve your writing by paying attention to how others write. I am a formalist a compulsive ryhmster
I find the disciplie of formally structured ppoetry helps me to express my thoughts and feelings with greater clarity.
You have used the word fleeted which I think should be fleeting Entimacy should read intimacy
I would suggest you always edet and re edit before posting to do yourself justice. Essentially you are trying to transmit your feelings and your emotions to your reader ivor aka poeticpiers

very good and true.

[Randall Richard]

this is good. the enormity of it all. but i feel the pressure of such feelings can bind up our creativity at times. writing doesn't always have to be about the enormity of the human experience. take time to smell the weeds as well as the roses. good poem. you will write more of them

[Mackenzie J. Burns]

Wow, thanks for writing this piece about writing. It's wonderful and it's mature and has an earnestness to it that is refreshing.

[Tonya (the Night Writer..]

Sometimes it's tough to say something you feel hasn't been said better already by somebody else, causing somewhat of a block for us wannabe writers. This is a beautiful piece, keep on writing even when it's not easy! : )

[Branxnia]

I like this a lot. It's kinda like a cure for writer's block, not only for you, but whoever reads this. It helps with getting those imagination gears going. Who knew that writing about wanting to write about something could turn out so well. You did a great job with this. Very, very nice!

I like the way this reads and flow of it. We often find it's better vent what we are feeling on paper -
computer. lol. Then to say it to those around us. Our intent is not to hurt or worry those closest to
us. It is to release those feeling we tend to hold inside. Great Job.
