Talk to The Pen

Dripping watercolor

                         poetry, 

flows so easily

'spoken word',

                                                 bogged down in muck

light and airy 

spun like webs of silk

pen the heart til'

its torments coo

_ _ _

angry fears wrap around the tongue

obliterated

vocal loud thumps of heart

boom boom pow silenced to tears

_ _ _

hang to the lucidity

 of a pen uninfluenced

'much ado' about something,

 or nothing

melt into the crevices of 

                 wood and fire

neologistic motives

          for punctuation clear

say a word, 

blow a kiss, 

it's one in the same

it can't be forced/

 the muse is fickle

~the sanctuary~

 but a dream of light

Now I lay me down to sleep

'my mind's illusions drift into slumber'

it's all in the twist of a wrist,

 a blind of an eye

bleed it's contents dry

from vapors

 come clues and puns

always treasured.

 never quite done

'there ain't no cure for love'

Definitivamente, 

                                                 finalmente, poetry!

You are a word-woman. The poem is amazing. I had to read for the journey into thoughts and good words.
"Now I lay me down to sleep
'my mind's illusions drift into slumber'
it's all in the twist of a wrist,
a blind of an eye"
Thank you for the excellent poem.

Nope.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Of coarse there is no cure for love, love should be the cure...
truth of the matter is our own heart is our real muse, we just don't listen enough.

[Frieda P]

"Love should be the cure." Having t-shirts made up, how many you want Dale? ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Poets phew! we speak from the page, some from behind it, but we speak!

[Frieda P]

Always a good thing, even when it's bad, it's still all good.

[Deron Alexis]

[Frieda P]

[Deron Alexis]

[kublakhan27]

I have run out of superlatives to describe your stuff...two thumbs way up :D

[Frieda P]

I'm not picky, I'll take thumbs up ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Ah I've got jokes in mind but it's too early in the day for that haha ;P

[Frieda P]

Still nothing? ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Haha well depends on what else you'll take "up"...yeah I went there ;P

[Frieda P]

oh NO you didn't.............................

[kublakhan27]

Well I don't mean "take" THAT way, I meant "take" something as a compliment...do you get what I mean, and if you do, does that get me out of the doghouse? :P

[Frieda P]

NO

[kublakhan27]

Well I do apologize...it came out wrong...if you really are upset, it will probably change the way I joke with you cuz I'll always be scared of offending you...

[Frieda P]

You should be scared of me anyway ;-)

[Frieda P]

Also, you were born in '77? Geez, now I feel like Mrs. Robinson! .........

[kublakhan27]

Well I wasn't joking when I said I never stopped ;) Not just '77 but July 7th too...I basically have two trademarks among my extended family, my glasses and my birth date ;P

[Frieda P]

That doesn't make me feel any younger, doh. ;-p

[kublakhan27]

Haha Well none of us are getting younger, that's becoming obvious to me with the passing of each birthday ;P

[Frieda P]

stfu ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Hey I was talking about ME haha ;P

[Lover Of Words]

Lots of power in the ablity of the pen in this one yet very magical and uplifting all at the same time, Very very good

[Frieda P]

Ooooo likey! ;-)

[Michael G.]

The pen has proven many times what strength it can have. When combined with poetry, that can be massive.
Good write.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Michael, sometimes we don't realize the pen is mightier than the word when we are silenced.

[Baby Ricochet]

Fun. I like it

[Frieda P]

Thanks Baby.

[David Scott]

It seems you vound your voice dear... hmmm.
Still, it holds one's soul off to the side. Read indeed, but do not touch the hand.
I would sing you song that floats into your breath and begs your body to talk to mine up close and one on one. Hoping that in such close proximity our souls could touch... Not a particular come on to you, but a thought in general my dear...
You always get me thinking.
Now I'm going on explaining again...

[Frieda P]

I'm sure if you floated your breath into mine, we'd more than likely get into an argument David. ;-) But, thanks for explaining!

[David Scott]

(laughing) I may disagree, but I never get into a fight. I refuse any invitation to do so dear... ;-)

[Frieda P]

pfft....let's see about that. ;-)

[David Scott]

Ask my wife... ask my kids... ask my those I employ...
Why argue? You either have the power to have the final word or you don't. If you don't then you may wither share ideas or shut up and give the person in charge their due. If they just think they are in charge or that they are correct then you will never convince them with an argument if they are not willing to have a controlled discussion. So again, it would be time to keep wuiet and move on... and let it go for your own sanity.
I have to suck it up a lot and move on...
This may not be the healthiest way to live as it can cause internal pressure at times and the "steam" must be let off somehow... Fihgting can be one way to relieve that "steam" but it is I fear not the only way or the best way. BTW, I would call this a discussion and not an argument as I can truthfully say my bloodpressure has remained level... ;-)
Shall we dance? lol

[Frieda P]

First off, get off my foot! It depends on it I win, whether or not it's an argument or a discussion. So, I see your wife has tamed the savage beast in you...and/or you've done plenty of time in the dog house. That said, this isn't a tango. ;-)

[David Scott]

I bow with grace and grin, with the lips curled back over teeth that none but the beast himself can tame. You may have this dance or leave it dear. I will be sleeping fine in my warm bed either way. I have never cowered like a pet in a sythetic den of emotional self pity. I will drink in the wild forest air and howl at the moon while I sleep under the stars and dance to the music of the streams that flow from the fury of Natures thunder and be humble enough not to add my own... I would not win your friendship if I insisted that your lose my dear.

[Frieda P]

100/100 for imagery ;-P

[David Scott]

No percentage could ever give measure the vlue I place on your lovely commentary my dear. I shall only say that eternity has already made room for your lovely soul to remain. For that beauty, new constalations have been put on hold. You shine bright dear Frieda.
Be well this day and always.

[Frieda P]

Who is this?

[David Scott]

Ha... My moods... None of them worth fighting over I assure you.
