(I Need To Be) PoetryA Poem by Karina LongoFill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth
I wanna die in the arms of life
and be reborn with the sun. I wanna breathe light, Feel light And enlight it all. I want to cure wounds - with nothing but words. I want to give for free the script of my soul - Then I'm whole. I need to be poetry - not only poetic. I despise rhymes, while I love rhymes - Imitation is limitation But coincidence is such a dear shelter. I take contradiction as a bless While I anticipate the worst Hoping for the best I paint a beautiful oblivion, a flawed miracle; It's all inside my head. I am the dawn and the dew - Perfectly imperfect - Oh, the shadow never rest. I know sometimes silence tells the best tales Let me write though, I won't say words But let me be - words. Let me react, let me object Never an inbetweener, just a painful dreamer who tries to skip bad reality like kids do their skipping in the backyard. I just want to heal - and be real I'll leave behind the rough draft of me Recreate - reinvent - rewrite Finally - break free - And finally - maybe - be An infinite piece of poetry. © 2011 Karina LongoAuthor's Note
