Ryan Pike Poet ABC

Infinite

Testing these waters symmetry 
ever sanity release through poetry
or trapped in hearts mind captivity  
Locked caged in this state frequently 
Will this world remember me or do I write pleasantries
Intelligently disguising the pains Ive seen  
relieved by the comfort of serenity 
Sweat peace calms minds unease 
spills like water or winds breeze 
but who else could test these tests tied to dreams 
who else could write the world to cease 
who else can call the tempest from the seas 
Which ones will be tangled amongst the weeds 
Iv'e just one thing to leave the world 
Empty as me

Michelle Mac Donald December 19, 2014 at 3:16 PM Emptiness is a state of mind, yes?

Ovidiu Bocsa December 9, 2014 at 10:38 AM The key seems to be symmetry between poetry and serenity and the gap of the untold sadness that must be filled with love known from 1Corinth and 1John 4:8-16 beyond the pain,history and the song of solitude.Best regards,O.B Ryan Pike December 9, 2014 at 11:41 AM Thank you .
