Escalating the Muse

"Escalating the Muse"



Written on the body
passive complacence
stretches sharp ink 
etched pain in the soul
then real beauty 
from the 
Book of Truth, 

a page moored
in transparent skin 


;


Black, 
tattooed ceremonially
on the tongue
speaks diaphonous
Freedom

Written on the body
stretches stories ripped
and tall, they are torn,
a small revolution 
amongst the crowds of
alphabet coding
in a tight sealed tin

akin to a 
Can of Campbell’s Soup

Escalates the 
Muse

Written in the body
a work of art, beautiful, 
pure and stubborn centred,
dirt muddied yet,
clean stripped,
balanced for the
Laymen betwixt

Papillon
folded Wings, 
en stasis,
looks through the Chrysalis 
towards the you in gilded story
the Higher requires analyses, 

there She thinks,
writes the Muse 
tattooed on the tongue 

Words 
projecting Muse to
Escalation

Robert Lindley Date: 11/10/2019 8:37:00 PM My friend, there is a quality in your poems show you write on a plane cast into the golden heavens. Such word-smithing awes me to my poor and humble poetic bones! And in that realm, you seems to easily control immense depths of power as well. A gem , a beauty, and a great fav too... Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 11/11/2019 7:50:00 AM My friend I can only speak that which my poetic heart feels when reading your poetry. Methinks you underestimate its impact upon lovers of true poetry that has depths, wisdom and message.. Lady Labyrinth Date: 11/10/2019 11:34:00 PM now now Lindley, your writing is "Divine"; that is way too kind and beautiful a comment to throw my way. My writing pales in comparison to your superior thoughts and words. Thank you for your kind-hearted words. Leanne x

Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/10/2019 3:29:00 AM Your muse is even more theatrical than my muse! " Written on the body stretches stories ripped and tall, they are torn, a small revolution amongst the crowds of alphabet coding in a tight sealed tin akin to a Can of Campbell’s Soup" In full force you march toward an inner truth.

Frederic Parker Date: 11/9/2019 8:55:00 PM the voices that whisper in our minds are formed by the minutes lived and are painted with the knowledge that renders our understanding of the color of sanity so the world can find the path of our muse as it uses words to describe the journey...the reader can make their own conclusions... my first thought after reading... my true friend Login to Reply Lady Labyrinth Date: 11/9/2019 8:59:00 PM Writing, after all, is the Higher Self speaking words to us, surely? One should always listen to that higher power that exists in prisms of Light and Dark within all of us. Always, despite the white noise emanating from the maddening crowd. "IT" leads the way, always. Herr Parker, as per past parlez, your steadfast friend, Leanne.

It is not for me to lead. People have to follow their own hearts and journeys, write and live their own stories - as it has already been set for them. Dante's story is well worth the read. Your friend, Leanne.x Ts Poetry Date: 11/9/2019 5:34:00 PM I believe we've already been there so lead the way Beatrice Lady Labyrinth Date: 11/9/2019 4:18:00 PM "The path to paradise begins in hell"...
