A Poets Voice

A POETS PERSPECTIVE i find it amazing how we transform our mind to thought to creative energy allowing our tongues to speak our ears to hear and the formation of words to bring forth birth from songs to books to the internal memory banks of those that will listen we speak in tongue the language poetry some may understand yet to others we are just a voice floating on clouds we bare our souls spit our cries release words of fire and words of love yet we are nothing less than the writer we write our thoughts sign our life in blood contracts never giving up that one day our voice will be heard we are universal every language spoken speaking of promises broken from treaties to words cracked with tears and ink on stained white pages we are loved by many hated by few tortured from within seeking the words to the next page sleepless nights with empty pens looking for anything a crayon a marker even a piece of coal just to touch paper we are in tone with self able to leap into forever in a single bound the release energy strewn across rooms on wrinkled pages that met their doom yet we continue to spit our stories most are true but we release them to help guide you some of our journeys are sad some are celebration some are even erotic but the message will always be in our words released from energies from our very soul so listen listen as they are told DAVID SANDERS 1.28.2015
