of mind over matter

of mind over matter

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

of mind over matter

 

 

i write short poems

about seductive advances

and passion induced states

of the heart

 

i write long poems

about seductive advances

and morbid states

crushed heart

coffin alliances

with stone cold mates

decomposing rhyme

 

i write epic poems

no i don't,

but i want to

 

i just need to find the right state

of mind

and let the heart go.

The thing about hearts Jacob, is its a very fine line between keeping the valves pumping, with frostbite on one side of the chasm and bbq on the other.

This may not be about poems at all. It could well be talking about relationships. In any case it is another poem which is multi layered. Mind over matter you certainly need that for epic relationships. Thought provoking,.

I think all writers want to write someting more substantial. I do even after writing a novel and one novella and one novalette. You capture this sentiment in a poem steeped in wishful thinking.
