A Poem With No Meaning

I can speak the language of fallen angels,

we don't know how to use words very well.

This passion has no life or meaning.

But if I could read your thoughts,

what would your open heart say to me?

Sometimes, I feel like people are aliens

or maybe I'm a mind of a different breed

or maybe the mind is just a window.

If I could look through the window

of your soul, what planet would I see?

These thoughts are so far out,

I travel through space when I close my eyes.

I'm trying to make it to Heaven's gate

to steal the language of the angels.

I desperately need the right kind of words

for my fading life story, the kind of words

that turn ordinary men into poets.

you have turned, Michael...

reading your words proves you have become a poet...i think we, as poets, are the ones who feel like aliens on a planet of mis-understanders...

at least sometimes...we feel a different race altogether---

really relate to this one...still trying to write that "one poem" "the" one.

"If I could look through the window of your soul, what planet would I see?"is my favorite line! What a beautiful write. And I agree with Jacob. I believe all poets are still trying to write that one great poem, something that you have achieved here. :)

I think we as writers all go through this state ... But I wouldn't say this poem doesn't have meaning..

I read passion within it and Feel that I can deeply relate!

Bravo! I agree that all poets are connected in an almost mystical bond. I also believe that everyone is a poet at heart though some people do seem heartless :~) I give your poem five out of five Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

"No meaning", perhaps, but these sort of blind poetic ventures can be just as rewarding and interesting. Just to see where the mind goes when the dam of thoughts is opened... Very unique, and wonderful for it.

"The kind of words that turn ordinary men into poets" ...Amazing line. Interesting read and the concepts behind this piece are cool as well..Really dig this one!
