Poem

Intimate musings are part of a poet's repertoire;
flights of introspection and reflections,
savored more when shared with kindred spirits
A poet can speak to another poet
with an intrinsic mutual understanding
that our words comes from deep in our heart
Words are the currency of our soul
Thus, I must speak poet to poet
with words weighed carefully in spoken gold
When I sometimes write in the first person,
it doesn't necessarily mean I'm personally talking about me
I'm simply the face of a poem,
emotionally bonding myself with my words
to better convey our common humanity
I write of things experienced by others,
and some of those things may have happened to me also
Then like a layer of clothing, I don it,
it becomes a living, conscious part of me
Therefore, I can now be that cold-hearted person in a poem,
because I've intellectually embraced that frigidity
Wrapped my mind in the essence of a thing,
of which I can now write about with depth and clarity
Sometimes only a part of me is in the composite of my poem,
one bit of biographical fact embedded in the story
The person I write about may not always actually be me,
but I become that poetic persona to better help the reader to see
something I wanted them to experience vicariously
For lack of a better word, name, label, whatever ...
Call me an amalgamated man: a collection of bits and pieces of 
everything I've ever seen, heard, thought about ... or things I've
heard someone else say or do --- it all attaches to my psyche like glue
This is poet to poet, from me to you
To help give you a better understanding of how I'm able to
write about the things that I do
Poet to poet: feel free to help me better understand you
The poems I write may be fiction or they may be true
Everything I write about is a bit of me, 
it's a bit of someone else, maybe even a bit of you
Which part is actually me you ask --- I give the Silent One gesture ...
Shhh ... you just never know who you're talking to
