I Write therefore I Am

I write poetry

    because no one hears

                the spoken word

    ~ink it~ 

               magically,

   becomes more arresting

             than the utterance of voice

like an enchanting song

             it brings a melody to mind

   undulating waves in and about

           the strings of heart

lengths of strands,

 unadulterated thoughts

            to bestow

A divine. sweet find .

         like the mystical pearls of an oyster

           twisted gently to

overflow & materialize

          set the mood so elevated

take it the deepest sea depths

or the sky if you dare,

commanding in its flight...

        Just fly with it instinctively

        feel the winds soar as you heighten,

                   & release yourself so freely

Yet literature may not always end up as something positive, perhaps it might be something of the abrogating mental aroma. For many authors such as myself go mad over the smallest bits of harmful realization throughout descending into greater literature.

It's all good, as long as it makes you 'feel' something in estimation...thanks Alexander.

[Devanshu Rajput]

I find I write much more effectively than I speak. As much as I eff and blind in my writing, times that by about a hundred in my every day speech xD

This is a lovely write. I enjoyed it a lot.

So much truth in these words, the expressions that are portrayed in poetry far outweigh the spoken word. Beautifully written.

A play on the philosophy 'I think therefore I am', I assume this was intentional? :) "the mystical pearls of an oyster", I love that line, they are certainly something of sublime nature. The only conflict I have with this piece is it's flow, since there is connection between some lines and not others, however, as you affirm, writing is an artists vice, and with it they create their own language. :) Very lovely

[Frieda P]

Oh my, you mean someone beat me to it? ;-)

Thanks for your critique, much appreciated Willow.
