Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

In My Grooves

Find me here
Within graphite words 
breathe me deeply
until the lines are blurred
let my smoke fill your lungs
I desperately want to be felt and heard
Ash rises from my bones
from my mind to your heart transferred 

my thoughts are paper thin
Yet they levitate upon my imperfections 
Two three and four dimensions
The things I can't scream
without fear here I mention
Maybe it's all a cry for attention
is it really me these absurd expressions
I lay it out for the world
Find the holes in my communication
plug in your extension
Maybe the light from your lamp
will illuminate my apprehension

My record silently skips
a soundless sensation
The needle gouges deep
with its intimate groove penetrations
Is this any indication
of my faltering perceptions
or do I have  frayed wires
stripped by my preoccupation
So here now and from yesterday 
I form words into weird collections
maybe you can find me here
amidst my verbose fascination 
I'm here somewhere
in all of these indentations!

Paul Callus March 6, 2017 at 8:47 AM In one of my poems I wrote that I saw beauty in her imperfections. This applies to all of us. There are moments when we feel the need for reassurance, to be heard, and to be understood. Let us walk with open eyes and ears...many seek our attention. // paul Richard Lamoureux March 6, 2017 at 8:51 AM Very nicely said Paul.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders March 4, 2017 at 5:18 PM Hi Richard, this is a wonderful expression of the feelings that go into a poem when written from the heart, and I agree with Tim, the imperfections can make the best most, most honest poetry..thanks for the visit today and lovely comment.

Darren White March 4, 2017 at 2:15 PM This is so expertly and emotionally expressed what it is to give yourself away in a poem, with the doubts, fears, and elation you can feel. And I love the indentations. Beautiful poetry. Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2017 at 5:54 PM Thanks Darren, as always I appreciate your visits.

Judy Ball March 4, 2017 at 10:18 AM When a poet shows you his writings he shows you his soul. A poet is an open book to any who will read and by reading know him. Great job here Richard. God Bless, JB Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2017 at 5:55 PM God bless you as well Judy. ;0)
