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!

A deeply soulful piece... to be accepted and embraced "as is" is really a gift we give to ourselves and each other. You are so wonderful at conveying emotions and meaning that have such a positive and healing impact on the world. Excellent writing, 7+ always a pleasure to read, learn and be reminded of what's important from you Richard :-) blessings, lynn

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

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. I've never been to Italy, but I hope to go one day. Hugs, Rhonda

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.

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
