motions in an apathetic circle but simple i want to write deeply metaphorical poetry yet easily imagined and related to i want to be sophisticated in my manner yet approachable i want to write tragedy in comic tones i want to be me, yet Gary Cooper, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Bogart smoking a cigarette on a dark corner of life i want to love you till the end of time, but be by myself more often than not i want to write you engaging poetry without caring if it is accepted or rejected i want to be immune yet feel every ache, cut, scar that bleeds existence into a poet i want to be you not me, never me i want to live outside myself in the safety of my own mind i want you to understand all that i don't and hold that in highest regard without regards to what i write after all it's all just a bluff and i am holding a dead hand even as the fingers still touch the breathing keys. erin-cilberto 6/7/17 © 2017 jacob erin-cilbertoReviews
