Morning Thoughts

The mind can be weird and go a thousand miles an hour......

Early morning musings, 

mistaken meanings, 

where do they come from? 

Thoughts flown in on an evening's breeze, 

how to relay what they are, 

so many things to say, 

without the words to say, 

to type, to convey.  

An interpreter is out of his league on these mean streets of emotion, 

patterns of pretense, 

punctuated portents of something, 

maybe nothing, 

who knows what it means, 

I can't even tell myself, 

just words matching the rolling waves of a heart. 

Illogically scribbled, 

hastily hoping to get it right, 

I write till all can be said, 

the fire satiated, 

the furnace cooled and rested.  

Oh God let this be right, 

let me not care, 

let me get it all out.

What can I said more than what I have said?????????

I always have wondered where my poetry comes from...I feel like a conduit rather than a real poet...like I am stealing thoughts from somewhere, a plagiarist....
I like your idea of having thoughts waiting for us to wake up and put them on paper.
They are just hovering, watching us sleep, waiting.

Yess and waiting for them to visit us

A beautiful write...
It's same like dots...
We put many dots in paper which looks similar and almost same but every dot is different with their force and absorption on paper... creation is possible but recreation seems impossible... until you connect all the dots and connect all of your creations...

It is absolutely imaginary write... I like how you take struggle attempt to put the troubles into the words ...

[Jeyanthi]

Yes our mind sometime wired that's how we become wonder 😅

[Dave W.]

Thank you so much for your kind words, all the dots are making a picture but of what I am unsure

[Jeyanthi]

Then time to Wear your lens ✨️

[Jeyanthi]

I'm joking 😅

[Dave W.]

You know you laugh but so much goes over my head, people will always be a mystery to me

[Jeyanthi]

It's...
Purpose and performance are twins of life... if we rely on our own performance means , we will start compare ourselves with others... when we know our purpose (contributing nature) and our performance won't go wrong...

[Jeyanthi]

Lens in a way, I said self discovery which yourself quoted in one of your other poem...

[Dave W.]

Well said. Then I will continue to write and if it connects I will be thankful and if it doesn't then I will continue. I really like all the people on this site though and am thankful I started sharing my writings here. You guys give such great feed back.

[Jeyanthi]

When there are so many questions arise in yourself with no answer, there is high possibility the solution can be nside your question...... easy to say...I know..

[Jeyanthi]

😇😇🙏... thank you

[Dave W.]

I am hoping that through writing I might find some answers to who I am and what I need to be doing, one thing is for sure, I don't want to swim in the shallows of life but to lunch out into the deep things of life.

[Dave W.]

Not lunch but launch

[Jeyanthi]

Great to know ... !!

Inspiration seems to come to me at night when I am trying to sleep. If only it came in the morning when I am fully awake and could write the words down, I would have many beautiful poems. Tired at night, I say "I will remember that in the morning!" convinced that I will, but sadly, next morning I can't remember a single word which might prompt me to remember the beautiful poem I should have written down the previous night. I've lost so many poems this way and still haven't learned the lesson! Our Muse visits unannounced and if we don't go with the flow, we lose the intended poem. Excellently inked write which many who read will be able to identify with. Thank you for sharing, dear poet...

[Dave W.]

Of course. Thank you for the review. Muse is like the friend that shows up at 1 am to hang out, you never see them and know if you don't spend time while you can, who knows the next time they will stop by.

[Marie]

Most welcome, dear poet...

[camac1994]

There's always something to say as long as verses are coming to you. Great poets never give up.

[Dave W.]

Facts, but don't we battle those inner demons of doubt

[carl]

great insight into the trauma of being swamped with so many thoughts that " interpreter is out of his league on these mean streets" hoping against hope that soon it will be "the fire satiated, the furnace cooled and rested. " no time to second guess, just get it out. Nice piece of work - glad I came by - carl

[Dave W.]

Carl thank you for stopping by and thank you for the review

[Vol]

Dave,
I smoke some of the same stuff...

[Dave W.]

Thank you for the review

[Soren]

Mine come just after I've laid down like they are tempting me to stay in the comforable bed and forget them by morning. I use my poetry as therapy just like meditation and I know what you mean get it out. A very poignant piece for any that write.

[Dave W.]

Very therapeutic

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

i occasionally wake up and my mind is buzzing with so many thoughts and regrets and ideations. that's how i inerpreted the poem. i'd be interested to know what prompted you to pen this.

[Dave W.]

It's my night off and I was awake at 3 am. I had alot on my mind

[camac1994]

My mind is like yours! Buzzing all the time. So we write.

[Dave W.]

Compelled to write, to get it all out

[camac1994]

driven driven driven

[camac1994]

Ern asked, "What prompted you to pen this"

[camac1994]

Oh, I see, you were awake at 3 am. Yeppers. That will inspire all right!

[Dave W.]

3 am ramblings, words that flow through my head, amazed it comes out making sense. My want is to be a good poet but my feeling is like I'm a fool with a pen and my desire is to be as good as the poets on here

[camac1994]

No! Don't talk yourself into negativity! You are amazing! Never give up! You have those verses coming all the time. Share them! Please!

[camac1994]

I have to go to work. Ciao

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

i agree with Ms. Carmac (hello!). keep doing it man. some won't appreciate what you have to say, but if you speak with honesty, there will always be people out there who deeply appreciate it.

[Dave W.]

I think I will agree with both of you, but you understand about self doubt and continuing on and what not. All these thoughts that resist progress in ones life. Each of us has a battle we fight but I will not stop my writing it is the only thing keeping me sain.....Ern you are a good egg.

[camac1994]

Sane. Mr Yoshimoto, you may call me Cam.
