The experience of penning one's thoughts to paper
for the perusal of others
offers a certain inner satisfaction
that must be experienced to be appreciated;
letting your words guide you
to a deeper appreciation of your surroundings and self.
Poets do not garner feelings from their pens,
but from their hearts;
for the pen is but a brush and the page a canvas
upon which to paint dreams, desires, and thoughts.
The underlining passion
and potency of the written word
can be cathartic;
when it is your thoughts that embroider the page.
Intimate feelings are allowed to drift
through those thoughts, 
and gather between the lines of each verse. 
A poet's words, like a poultice,
can draw emotions
from the wounds of memory,
and catapult the reader into a reality
previously undiscovered.
A poet, using a creative collage of tinder thoughts
stirs the embers of conformity,
hoping to ignite sputtering flames of awareness.

I like your comparison of the poet's pen and page to a painter's brush and canvas, "embroidering" the page with your thoughts. Then, like a poultice, it can "draw emotions / from the wounds of memory". Then, like a tinder and ember, it ignites flames of awareness. Sublime, Emile ~ John

Wow Emile this is amazing writing, I think we can all agree on the power of the pen, to help ourselves heal, and hopefully do the same for our readers. Thanks for sharing!
