A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Night


orgasmic words,
on the edge
of

exploding onto 
the white sheet
of 

the act 
the act of writing
of

poetry
lying afterward
in repose

I am amazed
watching the poem
smoke a cigarette.


I am sated

title really works well for me! i like the enjambment .. you don't usually use it much ... love V4 ... makes me chuckle ... giving the poem a stereotypical male roll of the cig after satisfying himself .. cracks me up sir! how does it feel to be used in such a manner my friend :)))))))))))))))))) and your open ended closing leaves me unsatisfied but filled with imaginations ... what does poetry fulfill is in ... a wealth of things i suppose ... Happy New Year, jacob .. all the best to ya!

Sated of ?
maybe long awaited inspiration , or the grappling yet again to be creative and not have a sleeping imagination.
So many ways find that lovely calmness of mind again....

When we pen a poem...it seems if the heavens have opened their Heart... to share Eons of rebirth when the Earth is being poetic in Artful and colorful rebellion of the Godess of 💕 love.
tenderly, Pat
