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?

I get those whispers, they say give it all up and follow the true way but I always fail to, I get other whispers about poems saying this would be a good poem but when I get a pen and paper it's gone, basically my whispers need to shout bloody loud!!!
A great poem Elizabeth XXX

Hey boss ... We need like a dictaphone for the mind or something because I know that feeling oh too well ... ;-)

[Gee]

I hear voices,sad, pleading,voices.....just the carpenters at work whining about their next job though,worse than children.Saying that,was at an apple and pork festival once and there were 2 birds ,one ugly,one stunning and I whispered into the stunning ones ear,"do you think your ugly mate would be grateful for my sausage in cider!!"

[Gee]

Nope,dumped me for a West Indian fella who was hung like a horse,strange looking fella,as dark as ebony with linen white hair,his nickname was snow.She was out,and up with him,all night.When she got home the next day her dad asked her why she hadn't come home so she told him she had been stuck at the festival because of 12 inches of snow !!

I believe in some way we all hear the whispers telling us what we should do and what not
to do....

i have always heard those whispers...breaking free to be me...takes time but we get there, some of us at an older age...but we learn who and what we are, and savor the life we are given and the life that we take...

this one....

nicely expressed.

Perhaps all creative people feel like this now and then. I hate when the thoughts stop as them my pen will not jot down thoughts. Valentine Then I usually pick up my paint brush. Kathie

I think my noise is far beyond a whisper. Maybe it is a whisper, but there are so many voices, it may just sound loud. Thanks for sharing.
