Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Hidden Key

Poets
Dreamers
We dream with eyes open
Manipulators of time and space

Masters of imaginary universes
Warriors
Lovers
Healers

Nothing is beyond our reach
Pen in hand
Heart allowed to flow free
Words the oxygen we breath

Dark
Hopeful
Philosophers of our day
Pointing the way
Wishing to be heard
Will others see beyond the words
To where the wisdom lay
We all have our roles to play

So yes we dream
With our open eyes
Hoping others realize
We don't wish to disguise 
Yet sometimes hearts lie

If you look underneath
The metophor
You will find a key to the hidden door
In the end
Thats all we are asking for

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 14, 2017 at 7:16 AM Great poem, and even greater wisdom dispensed from your masterful pen, Richard. Soul searching premium grade lines dispersed throughout ... words are the oxygen we breath ... if you look underneath the metaphor ... just a seamless stitched cloth of truth woven by you. Brilliant message poem. Love and peace always. Richard Lamoureux October 14, 2017 at 8:00 AM Thanks Freddie.;0)

Richard Lamoureux November 2, 2015 at 10:07 AM My muse has not abandoned me, I am just at a loss for time to sit down and write. Thanks for concern and encouragement.

Eileen Manassian November 2, 2015 at 9:23 AM Oh, Richard....So glad to read the heartfelt honest in this write. I'm waiting for something new from you.....Come on, please....you can do it. I wish I could play the part of your muse and give you some thought to write about....If only. Hugs

Carol Eastman May 6, 2013 at 6:31 PM You make such impressive works look very simple. You have a gift... I'm sure you've worked steadily to improve. Richard Lamoureux May 6, 2013 at 7:01 PM Thanks again. I have seen a change in my writing since joining the soup. I haven't had any writing training so this has been an education of sorts.

Toquyen Harrell May 4, 2013 at 10:41 PM Great one, Richard. "We all have our roles to play". Agreed. Enjoyed! Richard Lamoureux May 5, 2013 at 1:00 AM Thanks so much Toquyen. I appreciate your visit.

Eileen Manassian May 4, 2013 at 4:29 PM Another to my favs, Richard. This is so expressive of those of us who need words to stay alive. Richard Lamoureux May 4, 2013 at 7:04 PM Thanks Eileen, it is the air we breath.

Ndaba Sibanda May 4, 2013 at 2:29 PM This a beautifully written piece. I particularly liked following line: Words the oxygen we breath Richard Lamoureux May 4, 2013 at 7:05 PM Thanks Ndaba, I like that line as well.

Donna Jones May 4, 2013 at 10:59 AM Yes those hidden things...I guess we'd just explode if we didn't write! Richard Lamoureux May 4, 2013 at 1:04 PM That would not be pretty, an epedemic of exploding poets.

Timothy Hicks May 4, 2013 at 10:29 AM Dreaming with eyes open... wow, I really liked that line! Those that don't write can look at poetry as just make belief, but I've heard someone say that the fictional movies often hold more truth than the daily news. We at times dress it up to make it interesting to read, but beyond the words there's so much more we are trying to say. Awesome work, especially the last stanza! Richard Lamoureux May 4, 2013 at 1:05 PM you are probably right, as they say art imitating life.

Delysia Hendricks May 4, 2013 at 7:25 AM Let it flow, Richard. Your words will outlive you. Nice read. :) Richard Lamoureux May 4, 2013 at 7:47 AM Perhaps not, I plan to live forever. Thanks for your kind words.
