The Poet

for Robert, who well deserves the title.

He shouts his sins

and shares his scars.

He pounds his fists

against relentless

tomorrows.

He whispers his dreams

and leads us

to the light

he still sees.

I am beyond honored by this. I truly do not feel that I am worthy of such a piece of beauty. You are the true poet and you continue to show that. I am just some guy that writes what I see and feel. I feel blessed to have you as a friend and as someone that is an inspiration to me and so many others. Your views on others and the world you see is nothing short of amazing. You once again have give a part of yourself to another. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am kind of at a lost for words. I know that is a first. LOL

Thank you and bless you.

'He shouts his sins
and shares his scars.'
'He whispers his dreams'

Those phrases sum up to me what poets and poems are all about: sharing our whole with the universe.

SO BEAUTIFUL ...

[Desert Dreamer]

You have created an image of a poet who opens his heart and life to all of us, to share the meanings of life.

My tears of joy, humility and modesty stream from my eyes, down my cheeks and search for inspirited poetry,hoping to fill the earth with the love you are injecting into me - I am hopeless, and do not want to protect my self from a beauty like yours. I am awakened with a sensitive might that shines so brightly it embraces my tender and young spirit for eternity against a perfect bosom of inspiration. In amongst these finely selected words I dream of laying bare all of my inarticulable affections for you to feel.

" He pounds his fists against relentless tomorrows" Well, keep pounding brother, maybe someone on the outside will hear and come rescue us all. Great poem and tribute.

Well said. His poetry really shines. Yours does as well. I read so many wonderful writers here that I am always amazed at techniques, interests and adventures I experience here. This is a lovely work by a lovely writer. Well done.
