I Write therefore I Am

I Write therefore I Am

A Poem by Frieda P

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.

I so agree, thanks Marie.
Strange, I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today... This is true. Sometimes it is harder to express yourself vocally though. And if you poured your heart out through talking, it'd sound less convincing for some reason. I never understood that. I love your poem :)

Wow, I'll take that as high praise! Thanks so much MKS.
this is beautiful...and yes about the release...i think we write for ourselves initially just to get it out.

we need to...and i think readers relate to us more when we write because they can put their own voice to the words.

Yes, I would agree wholeheartedly jacob..thanks for your thoughts.
Excellent.
In most things I feel I can write about much easier than give voice.
