Whispers

as poets I imagine we all feel this yearning ....

the whispers 

have always been there 

quietly asking me to stay true 

silent echos of mind

run against the current

cross societal boundaries

jump into the heartfelt darkness

of the unknown known

the whispers in my soul

do not care for banality 

when expression dances

parrallel

the whispers ache 

down deep 

into my bones

softly tap,tap,tapping

on the very shell of my essence

reminding me

to break free of 

the shackles

THIS LIFE

only asking of one task

to stay true to me

tell me do you too 

hear the whispers?

The inner voice is the essence of our lives. Some listen to it carefully, while some kill it and go ahead making sins. "Silent echos of mind run against the current" loved this line. Beautiful poem KWP. :)

[KWP]

yes yes the important part is in the listening with our hearts - thanks Chirag - NIce to see you X

There are a lot of different whispers. All say to stay true.
Some say to lose my sanity to drown the pleasure of insanity which is known unknown too. Others be more evasive telling me the least.. Like a riddle.. Like a wise old soul drifting in a haze of life..making me figure them out. Few which scare me and then those who berate me to be more. It's never one alone. Bit of this, bit of that mixed together. Which I choose to stay true by is what matters, all in a way to break free even if it's tiny.

Why do I feel it more darker than usual? A crazy write, KWP.

[KWP]

hello you :) - don'r feel dark - no point to that - how are you? what's happening little chickky?

[Ana B.]

a wonderful reflection dear KWP :) i missed taking a walk down here.
We all hear those whispers, though it has many forms i suppose, a song, a squeal, a wind, a silence...

[Robert]

I have the inner voice as well KWP, a really lovely way that you expressed the whispers you encounter.

[AaronFreitas]

[EmeraldSun]

Yes, I hear the whispers, too, and the tap, tap, tap at times for attention.
Lovely poem.

[KWP]

[andrew mitchell]

haha the whispers from one's conscience versus the other whisper that says just go for it! what the heck! A lovely write KWP with smooth flow!!

Sometimes I hear the whispers of the water and the wind
softly speaking in my mind, words that I don't understand
but I know these feelings flowing inside, my soul is unskinned
and lays bare and open on the windowpane, yours to command

Sure I know them, KWP, like the poem, inspired me. Thanks. :) Rudi

' .. .. ' reminding me -- to break free of the shcakles -- THIS LIFE -- only asking of .. '

Your writing always draws thoughts gone mad from me.. ok., calm down Em..

Perhaps.. just perhaps, when it comes to writing, we can be who and what we want.. that's the glory of it, the release of thoughts we're not even aware of..

Your words drip slowly down the 'page', clearly put, with punctuated 'shall i-shan't i.' But at heart, you know there's is longing to fly and - and keep on flying.. to hell with opinion.. to hell with convention. If nobody's maimed for life, we travel catharsis, self-analysis or a cosy unravelling by merely letting the words escape. rather like undoing a tight bra!

[KWP]

And ain't that the best feeling in the world ... The bra strap that is X

Nice to see you oh lovely one X
