See What Ahm Saying

By: Vicki Acquah CAN YOU SEE WHAT I AM SAYING WHEN I PAINT PICTURES WIT MY TONGUE. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THE AESTHETICS OF MY HEART - AS I DRAW FROM THE UGLY- REALITIES OF OUR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS CAN YOU HEAR THE DEPTHS OF MY WORDS ECHOING FROM THE CHAMBERS OF MY CHI WHEN GOD IS DISTRACTING ME FROM MY EARTHLY BEING. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE OF MY SOUL- WHEN HES EXTRACTING- THE BEAUTIFUL FROM ME. Showing me what he wants me to be see-ing IF GOD is love,and love is purity and purity is poetry then poetry must be the yen- and the yang- of the universal language- -of love Love is God and God is all things. Linguistic lyrics- Tongues and languages - Where Gods invokes and meets mans soul to move to feel and then inspire aesthetically I am speaking of loves language, poetry - Balancing us bards- between many worlds We clamor to get back to chasing our own curious dreams- Sometimes we do not want to fly where other souls are soaring nor record what the voiceless voices are saying But we are scribes we write- speak -and we feel the beautiful beings and also feel the merciless We write the yen and the yang of the beautiful--the fruitful- SPIRITS SPEAK TO ME- I am the heartbeat of poetry and then I ask "do you hear me-- And I ask do "SEE what I am saying ? I am God's personal ergonomic metaphor - ah me ? Asking myself "DID I SAY THAT"- Where did that come from I NEVER HAD A CLITOR-ECTOMY-

This one makes some very interesting connections. I love the part about God and the poets job of seeing the beautiful. I had a little bit of a tough time finding the focus of the poem but I still really liked it! As always, Thanks!

..you have to relate to what you relate to.and identify with things you have never experienced. Such as at the end when I said I never had a" Clitorectomy", That is to say that you do not have to experience something to speak up against it. If it's called empathy. Pain is pain... hunger is hunger. No soul gets use to it> Not even Animals ~~~
