The Poet's Side

Every a poet's word comes a twist of his life.

From his darkest days
To his twilight smiles
Recounts his wits
Of his seasons that passed by

Like a cupid song
As we listen through our brains
A sonnet which belongs
But to his grievous sins

Like a hell of wisdom
Gritting teeth as we tried to fathom
Yet a lyrical pleasure
From his lover's bod exposure

Like a solemn feeling
When he conveys the sunset
But a disturbing meaning
Of sunrise he tries to forget

Like a rhyme of soliloquies
Recited from his inner demons
A medium of meditation
To conquer his adversaries

Like a lover's touch
Butterflies lingering his stomach
Yet a shadow of devil's watch
Swinging like a hammock

Like a hatred of bottomless
Of his deepest abyss
Yet shows a light though shapeless
Of his hope of forgiveness

In just a simple sentence
Hides a cluster of feelings
Reasons his indifference
Yet his nosiness ablaze

We tried to listen and recognize
Dug the meaning of his wisdom writes
We went deeper yet blocked by a quagmire
So with just our shallow eyes we admire

And so the poet continues his tenure
Of his share to the literature
Inspires, aspires and shows his desires
Still only half we saw of his spare fire

Author's Note

We tried to understand a poet's work of wisdom, love, hatred and so on. Yet do we really understand him?

Every poet has a side of things and I honestly believe every poet needs a side...

[da_great]

And yes there is also a part of them we can't understand tho we emphatize...

[Lacey Sue]

Some of the poets just aren't ready to put their life out there and explain what they feel and went through and they may just not want to also

[da_great]

Yup I definitely agree with you, they just hid it thru words and gave us hints thru metaphors :))

[Lacey Sue]

Yes and I feel that they don't have to put their stories out there because what they write anybody could guess their life stories I mean I can.

[da_great]

Yup it is everybody's side to decide :))

[Lacey Sue]

That is so true and I feel they shall not be pressured by anybody to share their stories if they do not want to

[da_great]

We are not tied at other person's fate. Things would be worse if we let our freedom of expression be at their hands.

[Lacey Sue]

Exactly freedom of speech, religion, press, petition, and assembly and we don't want to feel in any way that those amendments are being taken away from us by other people

[da_great]

I totally agree with you dear. I'm starting to like you. Well anyway, I like your reasonings and how you go deep into this poem. I mean sorry, but you got me.

[Lacey Sue]

Aw thank you and I try to be the nicest person and not snobby, but some times I get easily mad and end up letting my balloon keep filling up and I feel other people like poets, story tellers, and etc do the same because I know everyone let's their balloon keep filling up and when you keep filling it up it'll just get to the point where it explodes and goes everywhere.

[da_great]

Yup yup! I'm with you. It's like a fart I tried to hold until it explodes to one of my worst embarassing moment. Well just kidding. Thank you also :))

[Lacey Sue]

Lol that's funny, but I mean

[Nariko]

This was a nice outlook on the poet's perspective when it comes to the process of writing a poem

[da_great]

Yup every word he writes is the twist of his life. If we miss to understand, we're blind to the whole meaning.
